Hi everyone
Great topic Lishan627 some good replies.
I've enjoyed reading everyones comments, thanks for the translations and links all so interesting. You all worked so hard.
Tonys singing voice is amazing, soulful, I could listen all day. He even sings so well in English, this artist will never cease to amaze.
My absolute favourite is the Hua Yang Nian Hua (MV) the first in Helgas selection of links. Tony and Maggie Cheung did a live version of the song which was posted in clips of Tonys audio files and music in the forum. I love the melody of this tune Tonys voice is pure magic.
I like all the songs posted and will listen to them now and again, unfortunately in my country I can't get cds of Tonys music but at least I have the internet.
Like most people I first knew of Tony through his films, when I heard him singing I thought is there no end to this mans talents.
Best wishes to everyone, happy music listening...mary. |

Hi Mary~
Yup, Tony looks so dreamy in the MV of Hua Yang Nian Hua.. absolutely love it! I remember that I had watched the "live" version of the song before this... that was the first time i heard maggie cheung singing
Perhaps you can try to acquire his albums online
Cheers~

Hi Li shan
Thanks for the advice, I will start looking.
I own a few of his movies on dvd, so a few music cds would be nice to add to my small collection.
Happy music listening, best wishes...mary. |

Hello everyone
I found the translation of my favorite song from this clip.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0xD3yBTOms
Unforgotten ( You're so hard to forget 妳是如此難以忘記 )
It's long been known that
Love is difficult to forsake
It's long been known that
Lovivg someone heartily is wrong
It's been a long time since I stopped
believing in an everlasting love
So I'm used to being all alone
So I'm used to keeping my head
together in my social life
So I'm used to putting the mask on
and never falling for anyone
But why am I still keeping you
deep down in my heart
Why am I awaiting the tidingsof yours all the same
How I convince myself that
I really don't care at all
You're so hard to forget
Your image lingers in my mind every now and then
Your smile and every move you make
Are all that I remember about
You're so hard to forget
Your image lingers in my mind every now and then
How much courage does it take
just to transform myself
And how can I do to soothe
this restless heart of mine |

Thank you sooooo much Ham for the translation of this beautiful,
sad love song ! (but I guess the line : "loving someone heartily is wrong" - is probably misinterpreted ???)
This is the best clip from this song Iīve ever seen (well designed, good sound quality) - AND Tony in high spirits !!!
Friendly Greetings
Helga

Hi Ham,
Wow you've done a marvelous job in translating the song =)
I guess the line "loving someone heartily is wrong" is the translation for 早已知道爱一个人不该死心塌地...(I can memorize the whole song LOL) but unfortunately I couldn't get a good translation for that...
It means something like he(the singer) should have known that he shouldn't fall so deeply in love with somebody (and willing to do anything for her... something like that)
I'm sure someone else can get a better translation for it
Cheers~

Hello Helga and Li Shan
You're welcome, Helga
I hope so, Li Shan.
I found the translation of this song,too.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBYtxHO-m_U
" The Name" ( Ming Zi )
Supposing we hadn't separated, I wouldn't know I loved you like this
All people I've loved since then are very much like you
Looking at other people's bodies, I see your shadow again
When embracing, I always mistakingly call out your name
Longing is a cruel game, I've forgotten how to forget
Your name is still left in my breath, I had thought I didn't care
A cruel memory, I've forgotten how to forget
Has my name already disappeared from your heart?
(The name stabbed into my heart)
I am searching for someone who has the same name as you
I want to see their faces, compare them to yours
Looking at other people's bodies, I see your shadow again
Happiness doesn't come in time, my tears have already disappeared
Without your news, I ought to disappear from the scene
Asking myself, blaming myself, why can't I let go
Of the secret name stabbed into my heart
(Forgotten the forgotten, remembered the memories, the intimate name)
It's still in my breath, I had thought I didn't care
A cruel memory, I've forgotten how to forget
Has my name already disappeared from your heart? |

Thank YOU - helpful Ham !
With the translated lines of "The Name"- itīs much more informative to watch the same-named video-clip !
(BTW: Unfortunately I cannot watch your new posted clips "Tony on the Stage" - or any other video, cause at the moment I have a totally "chaos" on my notebook ) |
