15th May 2014 (生日快樂 – Grace Ip/生日快樂 – Eric Kwok)

The song for today is “生日快樂” by Grace Ip. This song is also sing by Eric Kwok, the song writer and Grace’s husband. I think Grace is the original singer, but I guess most people are more familiar with Eric’s version. Both versions are quite different in feeling, while Grace’s version sounds more sad, Eric’s version sounds more happy (but note that the lyrics are different).  The direct English translation of the title is “Happy birthday”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that at dawn, the glass broke and the candle is blow offed like the air has all burned out. The perfume that she put on, is now all turned into steam. Even if it was very strong, she didn’t remember that he smelled it. Happy birthday, she let that exciting her in the mirror to think about the protagonist of today. She wishes that he is with his love. She also wishes that she could memorise this moment. Happy birthday, she just wanted her empty body to be filled by happiness again. She wishes that this signal could be fallen into his pocket and helps her to kiss him on his shoulder. At dawn, the glass broke and the candle is blow offed like the air has all burned out. The perfume that she put on, is now all turned into steam.

She wishes that after their happy time, she could be fallen in love with him, but now she is too tired and stayed in bed. . Happy birthday, she just wanted her empty body to be filled by happiness again. She wishes that this signal could be fallen into his pocket and helps her to kiss him on his shoulder. Hope you will like the song. I have also linked Eric’s version, so that you can have a better idea of how different the two song are.
