Flow Not Fly (track 1)

song: C.Y. Kong/lyrics: Mo Ke Xin,Guo Ke Ying

[note: I apologize for the poor translation; some
parts of the lyrics don't really make sense, in the
original and in translation.]

Faye Faye asks me incessantly 
Did I do wrong?
To say too much is wrong

Faye Faye tells me incessantly
Don't do this, don't do that
I'm still the one she likes

I once asked myself
Why I answered so foolishly
Please don't offhandedly criticize me

Fly freely, fly freely
Completely unfree
Completely unfree

I may be unstable
Caused you to catch on fire
Still don't understand me

Perhaps I had the wrong facial expression
My looks were evil
No one will forgive me

If words are so strange
The story is too unclear
Don't bother with others' business
Act out a drama in confusion

Faye Faye - watch happy words fly about the sky
Faye Faye - please let me go
Faye Faye - too self-centred, too unfaithful
Faye Faye - doesn't care, has no patience

Faye Faye isn't wearing a tie today
Her movements are so strange
The truth is, she doesn't want to be too obedient

Every day, the east refreshes
The population's emotions for the week
The truth is, our thoughts have gone awry

Faye Faye walks about the street, ignoring everyone
An aloof posture
The truth is, she's not too happy

Pretending every day
New images must be presented
The group that's wise
Hopes to ask her if she understands

You're still the one I like
Seems like there's no outcome
Beijing is still beautiful
Faye Faye's still nostalgic
Seems like there's no outcome
It's definitely not freedom

Summer of Love (track 2)

song: S. Burton,H. Hoffner/lyrics: Thomas Chow (Zhou Li Mao)

I cannot withstand this shock
Loving at a high temperature exhausts me
Deep inside my heart flow beads of sweat
Because around me
I find my loved one confused
Peeking stealthily

I don't know how to explain it
When I'm with you I radiate energy

Sweet heat waves I can't conquer
Do you know, my love?

I'm dazed
Love is piping-hot

Igniting intimacy
Igniting the shock
Inextinguishable once ignited
Summer's flame of love
The sand is a stretch of gold
Together let's make footprints
A drunken heart
Love is swaying

This summer of love
Is piping-hot
I feel that perhaps at this moment
At the heart of the flame of love
You and I both radiate light
One hot wave after another
Making a visit into your heart, into my heart
Together we enter
The blazing net of love

At this moment, I once again reminisce how I got to know you
We open up to each other on first meeting, it's part of your charm
Once I searched in my dreams
Knowing you makes me happy
I'm dazed
As if I'm moving up and down
Only want you to treasure
My heart's imprint
To whom did I give my love?
Every day I follow your footsteps
Love's power cannot be blocked

I'm dazed
Love is piping-hot

Like Wind (track 3)

song: Zhang Yu/lyrics: Richard Lam (Lin Zhen Qiang)

There was one person
Who once made me realize
That living in this world
Is such a pleasure

His arms
Made me free of worries
He made me proud of myself

With that person
I once intimately conferred
Together with him
I also smilingly watched
The long night turn into dawn
Unfortunately he had to go
Leaving me to embrace my shadow in the long night

To come like wind, and go like wind
Perhaps the world's happenings are only a dream
To be on one's way, to be in the framework of time
Knowing each other is perhaps only brushing past that dream

To come like wind, and go like wind
Perhaps I shouldn't be so hurt
But I'm only human, not a dream
I'll always have some real laughter, and real pain

There was one person
Who once made me realize
That living in this world
Is such a pleasure
Unfortunately he had to go
Leaving me to embrace my shadow in the long night

Let me painfully confront emptiness alone
The warm breeze blowing past today
Is also a little cold

Tempted Heart (track 7)

song/lyrics: Faye Wong

Spring departs; flowers fall and drift away, leaving no mark
How can I spend my life in entanglement?
How many times, how many lives, how many people
Are still trapped by love?
At first I had not any doubts
My unchanging soul
At first, my falling in love with you was unintentional
Unintentional yet with earnestness

It's been a long time since my heart has been tempted
My heart was tempted because of you
I fear that coming and going will leave me by myself [?]
It's been a long time since my heart has been tempted
My heart was tempted because of you
How can I refuse your crazed love and my true desire?

Tell me, tell me, tell me whether I should wait
Tell me, tell me, tell me whether I would hate

Do We Really Care? (track 11)

song: Joey Tang/lyrics: Alvin Leong

I saw a picture of a small girl
Crying and living in a lost world
The men fight for dear God
She don't care 'cause there ain't nothing left to share
I'd watched T.V. about a sick girl
When and where she's going, God will know
She doesn't want the sun to go

Don't you know that we care
Keep the faith and hope is here
Deep in my heart I ask myself
Do we really care?

I read the paper of a coloured boy
He was starving so we're the lone vultures
Why so full of sorrow no tomorrow
There's no rainbow
Will he ever know?

Don't you know that we pray
For you to see the light of day
For you to bring back the look of love
Words of wisdom
Is it enough?
