Lyrics Translation:

Why am I crying?

Why am I lost?

Why did I stop?

Please tell me

When will I grow up?

How long can I stay a child?

Where have I come running from?

Where am I running to?

I had no place to live. I couldn't find one.

I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.

They always said I was a strong child.

They praised me, saying "you must be strong to not cry."

I didn't want those words at all.

So I pretended not to understand.

Why are you laughing?

Why are you by my side?

Why are you leaving me?

Please tell me.

When did you become strong?

Since when have you felt weakness?

How long must you wait

for the day you understand to come?

The sun is rising. I must go soon.

I can't stay in the same place forever.

You will someday be betrayed by your trust in people.

I thought it was the same as being rejected.

At the time I didn't have that kind of strength.

I definitely knew too much.

They always said I was a strong child.

They praised me, saying "you must be strong not to cry."

The more people said things like that,

the more even laughing became agony.

I was born alone. I'll go on living alone.

I thought that surely that kind of life is appropriate.

I must be a very kid when I watched this 80s TV series...."The Life and Times Of Grizzly Adams" and that series must had ran for a few years.

I think the older members here may have some impression or memories of this series.

I think it was about a man who was called James Adams, who, in the 1880s, was wrongly accused of a murder he did not commit, thus he fled to the high mountains seeking fugitive among nature.

The drama was filmed in the Mountains in British Colombia in the Pine Forest of the Appalachian.

He adopted an orphaned grzzly bear cub, who grew up to be his only companion.

He had two more human friends...one Mad Jack and a Red Indian. I think Jack owned a donkey called Number 7.

They helped many lost visitors in the wilderness, and taught them to appreciate Nature.

In fact it was this series that taught me the beauty of nature and how to truly appreciate it.

I can never forget the series had this song, which sounded very closed like John Denver's Country Road.

It somehow invokes that Utopia, we all believe in ourselves to go return and live there forever.

Its like a place where peace, happiness love and harmony co-existed, where people no longer need to run or need to hide,of who they really are.

Its freedom but paradoxically, melancholic and nostalgic

OMG...........The Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga is sooooooooooo gooooood............can't stop listening to it :thumb:

[Guest Euouae90]

It's very normal for us to have one or two current songs stuck in our head and keep playing. But, to the best of my knowledge, we have to be aware that it may be a bad sign. You may have to worry if the song is playing uncontrollably, looping thousand of times, take over your thinking as this is may be a sign of auditory halucination. I myself used to have this, and once I have been told that I have a mild obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It's really painful not being able to control your thought at the time when you need to, for example when you need to study, focus on something, etc. But now Im pretty much better. It's much lesser. Just share a bit about my personal experience.

This song has being around more than 30 years, but it is still holds a strong evergreen tear jerking sentiments.

As I grew up, its meaning and sentiments are realized as you experience the love for a old friend whom you have not seen for a long time, or a love secretly haboured for someone you like, but dare not pick up the phone, just to dial to hear the person's voice.

Neil Diamond's Hello Again.

It holds a strong lonely sort of longing, a nostalgia, perhaps somethings can never be.

I am tearing when the familiar songs from the Little Tigers filled the air. The songs transported me back to my teenage days, 17 yo to be exact and still wearing the JC uniform. They have aged and so do I ......

Back in 1984 when there were no handphones or even pagers, no laptops let alone ipads .... we were so amazed by the movie and its theme song -- Electric Dreams. That was 27 years ago, time flies..... think about it, it's just like yesterday but it's actually so far away. Scary. I am old now. Where were my CJC JC2 classmates who had watched this movie in the old Cathay Cinema with me at the Bras Bersah Road? Whereever you're now, I wish all of you well ........... *sob*

Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to this Russian song:

[craze]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_SOOxwAonA

[Guest]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7syPsJNTco&feature=related

LYRICS IN ENGLISH

Tell me why you are crying

For happiness

And why are you drowning

Because of loneliness

Say why you are taking (grasping)

Strongly like that, my hands

And your thoughts

Are carrying you away

I love you so

And why do you think this is happening

Crazy stubborn

Stop having any more doubts about it

Even if in the future

There might be an enormous wall

I am not afraid

I want to fall in love

You don’t love me, because you think

That i seem different

Don’t you think that this is how it should be

To watch the time go by together

Don’t love me, because i understand

The lie it would be

If i don’t deserve your love

Don’t love me, just stay one more day

Don’t love me, because i am lost

Because i changed the world, because it is destiny

Because it can’t be, we are a mirror

And since it is so you would be what I reflect of me

Don’t love me, in order to die

In a battle full of regrets

Don’t love me, in order to be on the ground, I want to open my wings

With your great love of the blue of the sky

I don’t know what to tell you, this is the truth

If the people want, they know how to hurt

You and I will split up

They won’t move

But in this sky don’t leave me alone

Don’t leave me, don’t leave me

Don’t listen to me, if I say to you “don’t love me”

Don’t leave me, don’t disarm

My heart with this “don’t love me”

Don’t love me, I am begging you

Allow me to be bitter

You know well, that i can’t

That it is useless, that i will always love you

Don’t love me, as i will make you suffer

With this heart that is filled with a thousand winters

Don’t love me in order to forget your grey days

I want you to love me only for loving me

Don’t love me, you and i will fly

The one with the other and will continue together forever

This love is like the sun that comes out after the storm

Like two comets on the same pathway

Don’t love me

A one hit from Charlene - I have never been to me - I think the older members will remember it was a big evergreen hit in the early 80s.

From a ballad, how a prostitute narrates and confines to an ordinary woman, the price of freedom she has to pay for.

In short, freedom is a price one has to pay for, when one hedonstically indulges the pleasures of this secular world.

Its quite linked to older gays here I conversed recently.

They were once good looking, handsome, and with bodies that many will die to touch.

With all the assets they have, they took the world by storm, and painted the town and their lives so glaringly red, the life of so many casual free sex, parties , the booz, the drugs and the orgies.

Now when old, and when they look in retrospect of their lives, they now realized it was an illusion they lived in and lived through, created by the choices they made for themselves.

They expressed their loneliness, and the need for settling down now.

In fact because this song promoted subtle promiscuosity, I heard it was banned or was it restricetd in broadcasting.

One very interesting point about its lyrics was, people couldn't figure out was it fought, or fxxk.

Listen for yourself and you will know why.

Sakura by Naotarou Moriyama

A beautiful Japanese song that is often played in graduation ceremonies

in Japan as school year ends in March & cherry blossoms (Sakura) bloom.

LYRICS IN ENGLISH

I'm sure that we're waiting

For the days when we can see you again

We'll wave and shout

On a road lined with cherry blossom trees

No matter how hard it got

You always smiled

So even when doubt crept in

I felt like I could do my best

Within the fading scene

I can hear that day's song

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms

They bloom now

Knowing their destiny is to fall

Farewell, my friend

It's time to leave

Those feelings that never change

Now...

Maybe I could say

Words without lies now

You shine as I pray for your future

With words of truth

The city moves,

As if to hurry us on

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms

They just drift in the air

I believe in a moment of rebirth someday.

Don't cry, my friend

It's time for our painful goodbye

Put on that real smile

Come on

Cherry blossoms, cherry blossoms

Come now, ride the wind

Bask in the light that cries out forever

Farewell, my friend

Let's meet here again

On a road lined with cherry blossom trees

Linda Ronstadt performing a classic from Ira and George Gershwin's But Not for Me

A very straightforward song about unrequitted love.

You love him, but he loves you not....

Ah ... this song and Charlene are both very interesting!

Interesting history of the song

And she's trying to make a comeback ... @60

Thanks for the info.

Actually Charlene recorded two albumns, both are under the Motown label. I have them in my collection.

The " I have never been to Me " albumn actually contained a few good songs, well written with good melodies, of course, the credit goes to her crystal clear voice. But I was very surprised that they were not broadcasted to climb up the charts

Example

I think the duet she did with Stevie Wonder was in the second.

Lady GaGa - The Edge of Glory... BIG ANTHEM!

[Guest gay anthem]

For me is "Hair" by Lady Gaga, so much nicer than edge of glory.

By the way, why no ones listens to the oldies lol.

[Guest slinkYcaT]

E.T by Katy Perry for its infectious melody. And i know it's no longer current - but i heart Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway. Love the message behind the song.

xoxo.

Heard this song on Love 爱 - Episode 677

Love the lyrics and melody.

黃思婷 - 溫暖的雙手

記得大手牽小手 教我一步步慢慢的走

現在讓我牽你的手 請你放心的走

記得你慈祥的笑容 慢慢溫暖在我心中

感謝你養育我 讓我變得成熟

不怕黑夜等候

現在換菩薩牽你的手

請你放心的跟祂走

放下所有牽掛 帶著我的祝福

你永遠在我心中

現在換苦薩牽你的手

請你放心的跟祂走

放下所有牽掛 帶著我的祝福

我愛你 你永遠在我心中
