Song Appreciation

Farewell My Concubine (Lyrics) My strength could uproot mountains,my spirit could cover the world; but the times are against me,and I cannot go forth. I cannot go forth,what can I do. Yu,Yu,what can I do. Success or failure is but a moment,my will cannot be broken. I must also know victory and defeat. The road ahead is bleak,the storm rages,I bow my head and sigh,what can I do.

Farewell My Concubine (Lyrics)

My strength uprooted mountains,my spirit defied the world,
But the times are against me,and my steed will not move.
If my steed will not move,what can I do.
Yu,oh Yu,what can I do for you.
Success or failure is temporary,my ambition will not be erased.
One must know that victory and defeat are common,
The road ahead is dim,a stormy sky,
I bow my head and sigh helplessly.
Love is in the heart,never to be forgotten,
Regardless of impending misfortune.
Love is not cold,yet it must be severed,
At this moment,words fail me.
The Han army has overrun the land,
Songs of Chu surround me on all sides.
My king's spirit is broken,
How can I,your concubine,go on living.

Song of Chu - Interlude from the TV series "Chu River and Han Boundary"
Lyrics: Tang Kwok-Hung Composer: Joseph Koo

Faint fragrance of wildflowers,misty like a dreamland,
After leaving,my hometown is a thousand miles away,the world has changed.

There are mandarin ducks in the pond,hearts intoxicated with long-lasting love,
The moon is the light and brightness of my hometown,already shining on the river of love.
But I am in a foreign land.

A thousand miles of mountains and passes,stormy foreign lands,
My native accent,I wish to hear it,
My home's wine,I wish to taste it.

Do not say we are separated by a thousand mountains,day and night I dream,
I only wish that one day I could transform into a butterfly,to fight against wind and frost,
And step foot on my hometown again.

There are mandarin ducks in the pond,hearts intoxicated with long-lasting love,
The moon is the light and brightness of my hometown,already shining on the river of love.
But I am in a foreign land.

A thousand miles of mountains and passes,stormy foreign lands,
My native accent,I wish to hear it,
My home's wine,I wish to taste it.

Do not say we are separated by a thousand mountains,day and night I dream,
I only wish that one day I could transform into a butterfly,to fight against wind and frost,
And step foot on my hometown again.

(I only wish that one day I could transform into a butterfly,to fight against wind and frost)
And step foot on my hometown again (Ah...)
