Music of 陳亞蘭

I came across a few of  陳亞蘭 (Chen Yar Lan) songs while re-watching Taiwanese opera/歌仔戲. It’s been quite a while, I’d love watching these during my younger days and enjoy them even more now. **Yes, I have weird interests and have godzillion fandoms. These would be the television version (not stage ones); they are not much different from our TV series, except vocals are included, usually to express thoughts and feelings. I’ll touch on 歌仔戲 on a later date.

亞蘭姐 is a well-known Taiwanese actress, mostly famous for her roles portraying male characters (小生) in 歌仔戲. Please note, male leads are usually performed by females due to their singing roles. One of my favorite 歌仔戲小生 aside from her sensei, the infamous 楊麗花 (Yang Li Hua). Her profile can be found here and the 歌仔戲 one here.

Themesongs are usually not attention grabbing at first, but they do grow on you. I’m sure all of you know what I mean. The one for 紅塵奇英 sure did; pretty soon, I was search high and low for the full version. So off I went into cyberspace looking for the singer; to my surprise, it was 亞蘭姐.  Had no idea that she had release a three albums; there no doubt she can sing 歌仔戲 (for 20+ year or so), but modern songs too? ? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised since she is quite talented.

放阮一個人 MV

Below are some lyrics of my favorites:
換一個所在住(台視楊麗花歌仔戲《紅塵奇英》片頭曲)

寂寞 惦惦充滿歸房間
阮的目周愈金 愈感覺冷清清
後悔 慢慢凌治阮的心
從今以後袂擱隨便講感情

是什麼原因會凍改變人的眼神
對愛空虛 對情無味 還是對人無信心

應該換一個所在住 無需要外大
只要溫暖 求一個快活
只好換一個所在住 無免定定越頭看
因為一個人的生活卡贏 倆個人為著作伴受情磨

離開青春夢

愛是迷人的景緻 難忘的滋味 美一暝就欲來離開
擱堅持算什麼 心頭亂分袂離 明哪載無知去叼位

情是傷人傷家己 苦戀的名字 放袂開只好心傷悲
兩個人的代誌 想欲永遠忘記 愈是故意 記治愈來愈清醒

青春夢已經離開 流浪人早日返去
是間的虛情假愛最後存什麼

青春夢已經離開 流浪人早日返去
返去當初感動你的過去

快樂猶原是暫時 幸福斷半字 目一暱天光擱開始
兩個人的代誌 想欲永遠忘記 愈是故意 記治愈來愈清醒

若是聽人講

若是聽講 緣份欲離開
阮的心情就惦惦塊憂悶
想起咱彼陣的彼段情
若是聽講 愛人若決心欲甲你來離
你若有材著袂傷悲 好好來送阮來離開

若是聽講 愛人欲離開
你著無通來哭歸暝 怨嘆伊無代念你的心
若是聽講 世間的感情煞無一個真
你嘛無免太過傷心 這世人無欲擱講感情

啊 失戀的心情 失戀的過去 我嘛看攏袂清
愛情的痛苦阮猶原有夢見 心肝一陣陣冷

啊 失戀的心情 失戀的過去 你愛看呼伊明
請你著聽我講 啊 千萬無通來傷害自己

愛情哪這簡單

你講為愛心亂 你講希望日子過得輕鬆
你講欲將過去當做一場夢 嘸願擱為愛操煩

叫我勿擱空等 叫我勿擱對你抱有希望
叫我愛放棄這場戀夢 今後兩人各分西東

我想知你心內 對著咱兩人之間
敢已經無心留戀
才忍心傷害一個這呢愛你的人

看我傷心也袂感覺嘸甘
愛情哪這簡單 講放就會凍來放
何必費心編情網
你的心內若是已經有別人
也嘸免編這款的故事騙人

請你越頭看我 看你怎樣傷害我的心肝
叫我今後怎樣面對著空虛
叫我怎樣袂相思

莫非是情已斷 還是不應該看錯你一人
枉費我對你付出真情 怎樣換來一場空

愛情路

明明對阮用虛情才會甲伊行相偎
感情那欲放乎煞卡求嘛無卡詛
歸暝為你受風寒只存阮一個是欲按怎
明明愛你用癡情誰知你會欺騙我
心事上驚無人聽你猶原“口無”知影
往事回想一重重阮的心肝一陣陣淒冷
人講愛情的路愈行是愈糊塗
心內的悲傷你完全看攏無啊
人講愛情的路愈行是愈艱苦
你若無愛阮咱“口無”免行同途
(備註,“口無”是一個台語字,不的意思)

情雨亂亂飛

透早落著大雨 天色全變黑
心情是起起落落 親像塊落雨
拜託雨 勿來耽誤 青春少年路
若擱落 會艱苦

天邊的黑雲白雲 飄過小山崙
心情是亂亂紛紛 親像失了魂
拜託雨 勿來耽誤 少年的青春
若擱落 心會酸

愛你愛你無休睏 無聊風雨一陣又一陣 啊
等你等你到黃昏 孤孤單單無身魂
害我想你想你到天光 敢講咱是有情無緣份 啊
望你望你的情分 可比天星 久久長長

新竹風基隆雨

卡早聽人有講過
人講新竹風有卡寒
敢是風中有味花清香
我才會知冷嘸知寒

卡早聽人有講過
人講基隆雨有卡大
敢是雨中有你來照顧
我才會憨憨跟塊行

啊 新竹風 啊 基隆雨
本來無同路 短短的相逢
只不過是天公伯仔的錯誤

你是新竹風 我是基隆雨
本來無同途 露水的姻緣
只不過是月下老人的糊塗

  1. 陳亞蘭和楊麗花前幾年有拍一部8點檔歌仔戲,叫”君臣情深”,也很好看喔!亞蘭姊在戲裡的扮相很帥!

    1. Heya enkin!

      I agree that 君臣情深 is certainly a wonderful series, it has a very interesting plot, cleverly written storyline and talented main cast. I usually find ancient series a bit more interesting since I’m a huge fan of ancient Chinese history. I’m also quite interested in 台灣第一巡撫 (又名:一品夫人芝麻官), 張國立 and 亞蘭姐 make such a funny and lovable pair. Haven’t been able to locate a copy yet, though I have seen bits here and there.

      Lately, I have been into romantic Jdramas, just finished “Tatta Hitotsu no Koi,” an old-fashion pure love story between two young adults from different financial societies, stars Kamenashi Kazuya and Ayase Haruka. You might give this a try if you’re interested in this type of genre.

      Thank you so much for stopping by my little blog and hope to see you around.

    1. Ohayo enkin!!

      Yep, I’m a huge 陳亞蘭 fan . I would love to see all of her series if possible, too bad the DVDs are either out of print or way too expensive. Guess I’ll add them to my ones-to-see list then.

      Yes, yes, 鹿男あをによし is definitely hilarious, the pace of the story is slower than most dramas, but very enjoyable. I was trying to catch each episode online as it aired, was extremely grateful that the fansubs were released so quickly. Watched it for Hiroshi Tamaki (also a huge fan of hehe…) and came to a liking of Ayase Haruka, she’s a wonderful actress as well. I’ve seen most of their works, both are quite versatile.

      You probably noticed from my posts of my multi-fandoms, mainly on Arashi. Just wondered if you’re familiar with them?

      You have a nice little blog there too. Your profile icon shows Robin, are you a fan of One Piece too? Looks like we have similar interests, it’s one of my favorite anime/manga.

      See you around!
