The
song that I chose for today is “城市足印” by Paula Tsui. This was a theme
song of a TV drama back in 1986. The direct English translation of the title is
“city’s footprint”.
The
lyrics of the song are about the distance between people in a city. It said,
pay attention on the people on the street, they walk past each other quickly.
They all look serious. Their footprint overlap, and they step over other’s
footprint over a thousand times, but it seems that no one cares. Pay attention
to the people around us, their cold eyes; wonder why people are always in a
rush, would they ever know that whether you and I are close or far apart today.
Everyone in the city now acts like people can’t get close to them. Time pushes
them forward in life, we see each other every day, but we never looked at each other.
Pay attention to this person in the middle of the street, he has a pair of
honest and smiley eyes. He walked closer to you and smile at you; you felt the
love approaches you. Sun light is as warm as this person; he has a friendly
heart full of joy. In our life, we meet someone then immediately, we departed;
wonder whether their heart could be approaching each other again. Hope you will
like the song.

Wow thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Paula and previously never understood the meaning until you posted this...
I've never thought the lyrics have such deep meaning
