眼泪成诗

Been to KTV last night, with a hongkong girl who hasn’t been for the past 7 mths (Shocking indeed for a hongkongie :P).

Again, I am reminded on how beautiful, subtle messages that Chinese songs have. (heard that Hindi songs are the same). Instead of the usual english songs that say I love you, I miss you and you are hot! :P

We talk about
“Turning tears into poetry”, “Wounds into roses”, “I have turned my silence into deep remorse, with no way out; I can only say that I have nothing to say” ““My tears have turned into poetry for you to reminisce, words do not intoxicate human, but humans are mesmerized by them.” Probably I do little justice in its English translation, guess you really need to learn a language and how’s it is used to understand a teeny weenie bit of the culture then. Chinese culture definitely dwells on subtlety. Also have this thinking that song writers nowadays are our equivalent of modern day poets.

This latest song from Stephanie Sun, has the traditional er-hu instrument (think violin equivalent except it has only 2 strings) as the background music which adds to the Chinese traditional appeal. Flavour of the month after the karaoke attempt :)


孙燕姿 - 眼泪成诗
作曲: 刘宝龙, 编曲: Terence Teo
监制: , 填词: 林夕
我已经
已经把我伤口化作玫瑰
我的泪水
已经变成雨水早已轮回
我已经
已经把对白流成了永远
忘了天色
究竟是黑是灰
分手伤了谁
谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你再回味
字不醉人人自醉罪
因为回忆总是美
我已经
已经把绝情变成了恭维
品位不配
一种不能自卑说声失陪
我已经
已经把沉默变成了忏悔
无路可退
只能无言已对
分手伤了谁
谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你在回味
字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美
分手伤了谁
谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已是无所谓
让你再回味
字不醉人人自醉
你的品位总是美
