I Only Care For You

[performed at the '95 RTHK Awards in memory of Teresa Teng]

song/lyrics: ?

If I had not met you 
Where would I be now?
How would I pass my days?
Would I still treasure my life?

Perhaps I would get to know someone
And live an ordinary existence
I don't know whether I would
Also have love as sweet as honey

Let time flow hurriedly past
I only care for you
I willingly assume your disposition
How often can one find a confidant in life?
It wouldn't be a pity even if I lose the strength to live

And so I beg you
Never to let me leave you
I cannot feel any love other than for you

You said if one day
You told me you were leaving
I would lose myself
And pass into the boundless sea of people

I don't want any promises
I only want to be with you every day
I cannot only rely on
Memories to live my life

Love Will Be Realised

[duet with Samuel Toi; can be found on a Cinepoly duet compilation]

song/lyrics: ??

Note: As I've mentioned before, I translated this song by ear.
There are a few words which I'm unsure about (as you can
tell from the question marks), and I would really appreciate
it if someone could send me the lyrics, but in the meantime,
I apologize for any errors or misinterpretation of the lyrics.

Toi [Cantonese]: For life to be exciting
I understand that I have to love myself, to treat myself with sincerity
If you were to look back at the days of nothingness
The rose-coloured love is like colourful clouds
I'm always surprised by it

Wong [Cantonese]: In order to sing a song brilliantly
I understand that everything, every word must be heart-felt, it's hard to find a substitute for it
In every quiet existence
To perform such a ???? song would be even more delightful

Toi [Mandarin]: An exciting drama
A brilliant performance
I always say that life is like a dream, like a play
Filled with radiance and colour
I say that anything is possible in life
I won't give up even after happiness, anger, despair, and joy
We only live once

Wong [Mandarin]: We can't start over; it's a good story
We should decide for ourselves the purpose of our existence
Whether there will be happiness or sadness tomorrow
However many obstacles, we must continue on without regret

# Toi [Cantonese]: If the world is still spinning on its own
If the weather is still warm
The order of the universe is unchanged

Wong [Cantonese]: In my heart, I can also predict
[That] the place where the radiance has been unraveled
Will have a sunny sky

Toi [Mandarin]: Life ???? today
The rainbow is already at the cloud's edge
The sun will appear after the dark night

Wong [Mandarin]: I won't stand on that side of the world
Is there another person
Who, like me, will fulfill his love? #

Toi [Mandarin]: An exciting drama
A brilliant performance
I always say that life is like a dream, like a play
Filled with radiance and colour
I say that anything is possible in life
I won't give up even after happiness, anger, despair, and joy
We only live once

Wong [Mandarin]: We can't start over; it's a good story
We should decide for ourselves the purpose of our existence
[Cantonese] The short rain shower in my memory
If the rain and wind can stop, light will soon appear
[repeat # # ]

Don't Be Shy

[duet with Softhard (Eric Kot & Jan Lamb); from Softhard's
1993 "Softhard Murder on Broadcast Road" album]

song: F. Sanders, R. Gallagher, C. Robinson, N.C. Weir, L. Thomas/lyrics: Richard Lam (Lin Zhen Qiang)

Wong: High voice, low voice, hoarse voice, cute voice, just say something
[repeat 4x]

Softhard [half-rap]: Don't know why, ever since we were children
Very few people encouraged us to express ourselves
We are used to that kind of obscure beauty, mysterious beauty
We are used to hiding ourselves
We often play hide and seek with ourselves
Even when we like someone
We still have trouble expressing it
We open our mouths and our tongues get in the way
Even when we close our mouths our tongues get in the way

Wong: Don't be shy, can you not be shy?
Reveal your secret to the one you love
Say "I love you so much"
If you love her
There's no need to be secretive
Announce it loudly
Say "I love you so much" yeah...

Softhard [half-rap]: Let her know by telling her
How much you like her
There's no need to let her guess and guess
She wouldn't know first
Hurry, be more romantic
Hey, be more forthright
If you have something to say and you don't say it
You'll get blemishes in your mouth
You're not an evil spy
So why would you need to keep it a secret?
It's not a zipper
So why would you need to zip it shut?
If you continue to be so hesitant
You'd be as depressed as the cloth
Used to tie up people's feet in old Cantonese movies
I'd rather wear shoes without socks on

Softhard [half-rap]: And so I say, starting from tomorrow
Start telling people you like
That you love them
Including your mother, good friends or colleagues
You could also include your father or lover and wife
There's no need to be afraid and say you're sorry
Only wooden dolls don't know how to express their feelings
Hurry up and open your mouth
Don't say it's too much trouble
You're facing the one you love, not your dentist

Wong [ad lib]: Woh...say say say
Say "I love you"
Please don't be shy
Make your loved one happy yeah..
Say say say
Loudly take up your love again
Please don't be shy
If you really love her

Wong: High voice, low voice, hoarse voice, cute voice, just say something
[repeat 6x]

Very Summer

[duet with Jacky Cheung; from Cheung's 1994 "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" album]

song: Chen Di Kuang, Tang Jia ???/lyrics: Keith Chan (Chen Shao Qi)

Together: Oh ah ye yeah..

Cheung: I gaze at the movement of the sun
The umbrella of fire [?] calls out impatiently
Lighting up the city
You, full of dreams
Put on the impression of summer
Jumpy and outrageous

Cheung: You abandon your original stand
Making every cold countenance
Full of warmth and imagination
The street overflows with liveliness
Glistening beads of sweat radiate light
It's a moving piece of music

Wong: The beautiful sun, blazing with fire
The drama of love
Everything is sizzling and enduring
Makes one return to an extremely ancient impression [?]
No longer a frosty countenance, let's dance together in the long summer day

Cheung: I gaze at the movement of the sun
Purposefully give the world
One thousand times the energy
Please fall happily in love
Take that tearful impression
And throw it into the freezer

Awakened from a Dream

[main vocals by Na Ying (Faye sings backup); can be found in Na Ying's "Conquer" album]

song/lyrics: Yuan Wei Ren

I think of the way you looked as you described the heaven of your dreams
Pointing towards the distance, you sketched out houses one by one
Your foolish smile was so sincere
All my trust [in you] originated from that moment

You gave me an address to that part of the sky
It was only because of the great height that I fell and bled ceaselessly
Wounded, I returned to the city which I once betrayed
Yet the only one who accepted me was my own shadow

I want to follow you for the rest of my life
At least this world does not have reality
I want to depend on you for the rest of my life
And be the last angel of your love

If we're still together after we awake from the dream
Please let us rely on each other
Perhaps it was glamorous for a while
Let us go through life in an ordinary manner
It is I who chose a man like you

I fear that we will be separated when we awake from the dream
No one will be able to retract this separation
Love and hate do not have to be distinct
Responsibility does not have to be questioned
The sky has brightened; am I still your woman?

Meet in 1998

[duet with Na Ying; first performed at the Chinese New Year's Gala in Beijing.
Can be found in a re-released version of Na Ying's "Conquer" album]

song/lyrics: ???

Open your heart; peel away spring's awkwardness
Break away from the solemnity of winter with flying steps
The warmth brings with it heartfelt greetings
The light rain bathes the past, the past
Yesterday's moment of passion
You welcomed me, welcomed me with your warm gaze
Happiness, happiness brought on from the past

Come, come; let us meet in '98
Come, come; let us meet in '98
Meet under the silver moonlight
Meet among the warm sentiments

Come, come; let us meet in '98
Come, come; let us meet in 1998
Meet in the sweet spring breeze
Meet with the times of eternal youth

Let our hearts meet, our hearts meet
Let us meet year after year
Despite the distance of our separation

The sound of eternal singing
Passes through the viridity of spring
Don the new clothes
Wait for the arrival of tomorrow
Listen silently to the soft breathing
It should let us embrace, embrace
Embrace our dream
