Calvin's Soapbox

Tuesday, May 08, 2007

It so painful for me to love you – its hurts so much that it makes me cry aloud and i'm tired of this, but yet stubbornly i write good things about you day after day in my diary. its like being addicted to drugs that never fails to lie to me..”

My gosh can you feel the drama oozing out of that? Well, that’s just a line from one of Kelly Chen’s song (she’s some HK singer, in case u don’t know – a HOT one at that! :D)

or how about this one:

I’m willing to create for you your fairy tale, to become that angel that you love so that I may spread my wings to protect you..

WAHAHAHA.. how the fuck do they come up with this? They had to be smokin’ some serious shiet yo!

But seriously, as dramatic and far-fetched the lyrics of most Chinese songs are, most of them are actually quite nice. most people say that Chinese songs are better than english songs because they have more depth, and are more meaningful, but to me it doesn’t really make a difference cos basically I have no idea what they are singing about.. =P

okay, that isnt entirely true as if I really listen carefully and try to make out the words, i *think* i should be able to decipher the meaning, hehe. ok fine, honestly even by doing that I still have trouble getting the exact meaning – I would be able to only guess the gist of it (but then again how hard issit to tell whether a song is supposed to be a happy or sad one?) yes, I’m THAT much of a failure when it comes to Chinese. Seriously. hehe..

so whats the reason for this post then, you ask? Well, I seem keep getting hooked on sad soppy Chinese songs alot these days. And as if that’s not bad enough, I tend to get hooked and old, outdated, sad & soppy Chinese love songs. yes, seriously.

Here’s the latest old, sad & soppy Chinese song that I’m hooked on to (with killer lyrics as well, hehe). Check this out:

its so embarrassing when u still want me to smile and admit that I do not want to break up with you. I’m just not able to tolerate and accept seeing the both of you together, so please don’t worry about me – I’ll get on with my life

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA.. don’t u just love them Chinese songs?

disclaimer: verses have been translated and probably reinterpreted under calvin's brand of chinese, which i believe there's a high possibility of being as accurate in meaning as if you were to get a russian peasant to give u a lecture on quantum physics.. in japanese. (u get the picture, hehe)

  • tonnes of these soppy, pathetic, heart-wrenching songs out there...
    but 1 wic came to my mind now is 'Sin (heart) Tong (move)' by Lin Xiao Pei. A soundtrack fr the movie Tempting Hearts starring Takeshi Kaneshiro, Gigi Leung and Karen Mok. Do chk it out.

  • P/S : Kelly Chen is never HOT to me. Not even when she was a Triumph model ( if tht was really her ).
