The morning's playlist

I forgot from when my dad will play a CD every morning.

His preference for music is different from mine for he will never be interested in my Japanese rock or English favorite songs. Few months ago, he told that he started to like classical music. I should not laugh at him but can only laugh at myself. Well, yes I am the vulgar one. It is only until a Japanese TV drama about classical music was in show few years ago, I started to get know of it. May be I can write somethings funny on that later.

It is the Chinese old songs which attract both my dad and me. The golden 80’s and 90’s when stars were stars, singers were singers, and lyrics were lyrics.

Every weekday I woke up by the today’s special, the song playlist in that morning. The random songs sometimes make me ponder on that day, for the lyrics are often meaningful and inspirational.

Yesterday, when he was about to set off to work, he pressed the stop button. I begged him to play the last song. He refused and told me to listen to it tomorrow.

So this is the last song, Leslie Cheung’s old song,追(chase).





I google and found that there is no English translation of the lyrics.
I think it deserves one so I wrote it.
If anyone will read this by chance and think you can perfect the translation, please do let me know. Thanks.


Make things happen in this life
But who is on mind in this moment?
I would say you are the only one I cannot lose
Good times are illusory
Who understands the pleasures of life?
I would say it is still right for love

Who is more important than you?
It does not matter to succeed or to fail
Who is more important than you?
Fire up tempest because of you

Catching again and again just want to catch a minute of life
How ridiculous it is
You are truly the target
Catching again and again
Follow some basic needs in life
No longer in shortage a long time ago

Be with you
Even ordinary but the most important

Though not much good times
So what a minute
Worthwhile to be with you together through
The more crazy love the more errors
What if redo
I would say I will advance misdoing for you

Only you make me as if the most important in the crowd
Be with you
Even asleep with a smile
