#XXX - On The Lover Line (感情線上)

Oct 4
3 min read

Artist: Sammi Cheng


It’s been awhile since I last posted. Too many things have been happening in my life and a couple of life changing events too. Someone very dear in my life passed away and I didn’t think I was ready to grieve or perhaps just not wanting to think of it….


At least I know I’m not alone and that’s a blessing in itself. It’s like a mixture of real goods and some shit storms together and time just flies.


And today, out of the ordinary, playlist comes up this Cantonese song and somehow the meaning of the lyric came to me and finally made sense. As it is in Cantonese, I promised that important person in my life that I will translate it. In a journey that fills with real emotions, and then everything else is also in rapid motions, I wonder if those songs can assist as a remedy, it may not fix it for you but if it offers anything that in values, anyone can take whatever they think it’s right and go from there…. At the end of the day, at the very least it’s a nice song that can still make a bad day a bit better by lifting the mood perhaps or just recognising what a day could be and knowing you aren’t alone….


My life is full of mysteries that I can’t even explain at times. Is this fate? Is it destiny? Who knows?


Lyric:


One person is having fever alone

一個獨自在發燒


The other one has ice on his lips. Two negatives make a positive

另外那位唇上結冰 負負得正


They get what they need from each other. How mysterious

各取所需要 多玄妙


Maybe… what God didn't appear to give it to me

也許 上天不給我的


No matter how tightly my arms are closed

無論我兩臂怎麼緊扣


Still will be given to me in another way

仍然走漏給我的


No matter how I failed in the past, I will always have it

無論過去我怎失手都會擁有


One hates that romance is too little

一個恨浪漫太少


The other side has too many expectations and cannot be realised

另外那邊期望太多 實現不了


The result would be…. How delicate?

結果將會 多微妙


Maybe… God’s hands

也許 上天的一對手


Would move both you and me’s sense of proportion

移動你與我的分寸


Be at front or stay behind with those hands

行前或留後這對手


In fact, was about to giving to you, so don’t need to fight

其實正要送我給你不要鬥


The bifurcated love lines are waiting for me to spread for you

分叉的感情線 正等我為你蔓延


Each other's love lines intertwined and developed

彼此的感情線 交錯發展


Not having the heart to cut it?

怎麼捨得去剪


My heart is with you

心在你身邊


Even if it was invisible, one day it will be met

就算隱形亦有一天遇見


Those feelings are so accurate

那些感應 多靈驗


Perhaps a woman who is being liked

也許被喜歡的女人


light emanating from confidence

從自信散發的光線


Whether it’s Hazy or bright, wouldn’t be too hard to see

朦胧或明艷 不太難望見


The bifurcated love lines are waiting for me to spread for you

分叉的感情線 正等我為你蔓延


Each other's love lines intertwined and developed

彼此的感情線 交錯發展


Not having the heart to cut it

怎麼捨得去剪


My heart is with you

心在你身邊


Even if it was invisible, one day it will be met

就算隱形亦有一天遇見


Those feelings are so accurate

那些感應 多靈驗


Perhaps a woman who is being liked

也許 被喜歡的女人


light emanating from confidence

從自信散發的光線


Whether it’s Hazy or bright, wouldn’t be too hard to see

朦朧或明艷 不太難望見


The bifurcated love lines are waiting for me to spread for you

分叉的感情線 正等我為你蔓延


Each other's love lines have already covered each other's hands

彼此的感情線 早佈滿對方雙手


Your love line can reveal my next ten years

你的感情線 看出我下個十年


bifurcated love lines

分叉的感情線


There will always be a time when we can develop together

總會有某天一起發展


When the time is right, those singles and alone will be connected.

等適合時候孤男寡女會連線


Take a deep breath and wait for the right time to have a battle

深呼吸等適合時候一場交戰


Take a deep breath and wait for the right time for those singles & alone to connect

深呼吸等適合時候孤男寡女去連線


Take a deep breath and wait for the right time to have a battle

深呼吸等適合時候一場交戰

Today was way too heavy... Not mainly because of you, but I guess I am just drowning in this shit life, while observing more shit to come in... At times, I think it is the numbness / emptiness inside
