[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
[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

[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]
[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
[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?
[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
