Didn’t I tell you that songs by Chang Yu were addictive?! Sharing another masterpiece, 曲終人散, which I had on repeat this morning while driving to work, matches today’s gloomy and rainy weather. I love how each song has its own story and so much emotional is illustrated through Chang Yu – heart-aching, sorrow and affection.

Chinese and English Lyrics:
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
妳讓他用戒指把妳套上的時候
The moment you let him place a ring on your finger
我察覺到妳臉上複雜的笑容
I became aware of the complicated smile on your face
那原本該是我 付予你的承諾
That was originally what I’d promised to give you
現在我只能隱身熱鬧中
Now, I could only make myself invisible within the lively atmosphere

我跟著所有人向你祝賀的時候
The moment I congratulated you along with the others
只有你知道我多喝了幾杯酒
Only you knew how many cups of wine I drank
我不能再看你
I shouldn’t see you anymore
多一眼都是痛
Even a glimpse more would cause pain
即使知道喑地裡你又回頭
Even if I secretly know that you would turn around again Continue reading “曲終人散 by 張宇 (Phil Chang Yu)” →

I came across Phil Chang Yu (張宇) a few days ago while watching an episode of 《谁是大歌神 – The Hidden Singer》 who is a famous Taiwanese singer and composer. Many oldies like me are quite familiar with his songs that were used numerous of Taiwanese TV series and movies. It was a great trip down memory lane and he is still amazing and talented as always. It has been ages since I heard any music produced from the island and quite happy to dig through my CD collection or rather do a search on Youtube. I adore the majority from his discography, but will share one of my favorites today, 一個人的天荒地老. A soulful ballad with a beautiful melody, the desiring and yearning emotions are skillfully expressed through Chang Yu’s lovely and soothing vocals. The passion, the anguish and the sadness-ness are convened elegantly through its lyrics, which are written by his wife that uses pen name, Xiao Huiwen (十一郎). They are certainly an invincible pair with over 100+ songs under their belt. Also if you’re interested in watching any of the episodes, they are available on China Zhejiang Youtube Channel.

Chinese and English Lyrics:

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
已經對坐了一夜 恐怕天色就要亮了
Sitting alone facing the night, fearing that morning would arrive
我開始有點明白 我們的愛也要散了
I’m starting to understand a little that our love should also scatter
妳像過去那樣走來 緊緊用雙手將我環繞
You’re just like the past, taking a step forward, preparing to use your hands to envelop me
妳的溫柔其實如刀 要我還妳怎樣的笑
Your gentleness is actually like a knife, how could I smile in return?

我明明都知道 這將是最後的擁抱
I actually already know that it was the last embrace
妳給我一個圈套 我不能跳不能遁逃
The trap you gave me, I couldn’t jump or escape from it Continue reading “一個人的天荒地老 by 張宇 (Phil Chang Yu)” →
