//♥ 請留住你的腳步
1/13/2008

我知道你離去的時候
wǒ zhī dào nǐ lí qù de shí hòu
I know that as you leave

你會在車窗內對著我揮揮手
nǐ huì zài chē chuāng nèi duì zhe wǒ huī huī shǒu
You will be waving to me from the car window

這滋味不好受 
zhè zī wèi bù hǎo shòu
The feeling doesn't feel right

想叫你不要走 可是我難開口 只好搖頭
xiǎng jiào nǐ bú yào zǒu kě shì wǒ nán kāi kǒu zhī hǎo yáo tóu
Feeling like asking you not to leave but it's hard to say hence I turn my head


我知道天黑了以後
wǒ zhī dào tiān hēi le yǐ hòu
Eventhough once the sky darkens

我仍然會在這街頭眺望和等候
wǒ réng rán huì zài zhè jiē tóu tiào wàng hé děng hòu
I will still be by the corner hoping and waiting

這滋味不好受 
zhè zī wèi bù hǎo shòu
It doesn't feel right

天亮了你要走 天黑了你也要走 只好搖頭
tiān liàng le nǐ yào zǒu tiān hēi le nǐ ye yào zǒu zhī hǎo yáo tóu
You will leave even as the sky brightens or darkens, I could only turn my head


請留住 請你留住  
qǐng liú zhù qǐng nǐ liú zhù
Please leave, Could you please leave

請留住 請你留住你的腳步 你的腳步
qǐng liú zhù qǐng nǐ liú zhù nǐ de jiǎo bù nǐ de jiǎo bù
Please leave, could you please leave your footprints, your footprints

想握住你的手 這是我的祈求 請你別走
xiǎng wò zhù nǐ de shǒu zhè shì wǒ de qí qiú qǐng nǐ bié zǒu
I want to hold your hands, that is all I wish, please don't leave


我知道你離去的時候
wǒ zhī dào nǐ lí qù de shí hòu
I know that as you leave

你會在車窗內對著我揮揮手
nǐ huì zài chē chuāng nèi duì zhe wǒ huī huī shǒu

*****************

I have fallen in love with this song. It was originally a fast-paced song( which i have yet to listen to it.) written by 馬兆駿 (Ma Zhao Jun) performed by 刘文正 (Liu Wen Zheng), but the version I heard was a slow-rock version re-arranged by Leehom. He performed it at Ma Zhao Jun's Remembrance Concert, MZJ passed away last year during the week of Chinese New Year when he fell down the stage, suffering a heart-attack.

He(MZJ) has written fantastic songs throughout his career as a singer/song writer/ composer and helped a number of artist to break into the music scene [ i.e Teresa Teng]. Especially this particular song, "請留住你的腳步" was one of his prime works as a singer/writer. It's such a beautiful song, even though heart wrenching, but ultimately beautiful. Leehom did this song justice as so many renditions of this song has been made(I have heard a couple), this by far is the best. I am not saying this because I enjoy Leehom's music, but he really did this song justice.

Anyway, why in the world did I blog about him when I had every intention to blog about something else which I have lost along the way trying to translate the song... oh well, I will blog some other day.

its me

I dreamed a dream in time gone by. When hope was high and life worth living. I dreamed that love would never die. I dreamed that God would be forgiving. Then I was young and unafraid. And dreams were made and used and wasted. There was no ransom to be paid. No song unsung, no wine untasted.
