6th Apr 2013 (我教你分手 – Eric Suen)

The song that I chose for today is “我教你分手” by Eric Suen. Eric was quite popular in the early 90’s but these days he doesn’t seem to produce albums on regular bases. This song was from a few years ago, it was the song that they sent to radio station for the promotion of the album. The direct English translation is “I will teach you how to break up”.

The lyrics of the song are not about the protagonist, but about his friend. It start with the protagonist’s friend (let call him Mr. A to make it easier to refer to him) saying that she doesn’t like Mr. A anymore, the protagonist understand and let him cry. Then Mr. A told him that recently she seems to love jewellery, and the protagonist understands that his friend just can’t afford it. He felt sorry for his friend, as his friend give so much to this girl and he got nothing in return. He feels that his friend is wasting Mr. A youth. He believes that the girl has already betrayed Mr. A, and if he is Mr. A he would have dumped her already. He reckoned no one in the world would be as stupid as his friend, giving her everything for nothing. He said even if his friend die, she wouldn’t care, in fact she might feel good about it as she probably feel lucky as Mr. A no longer border her.  So he said if he is Mr. A, he would just treat this as a game. He would remember all the bitterness and learn how to protect himself. Hope you will like the song.
