16th Sep 2014 (司機 – Shawn Yu)

The song that I chose for today is “司機” by Shawn Yu. Shawn hardly sings these days as he is more focuses on movies and his own fashion brand. This song was a theme song for a movie and it was quite popular. The direct English translation of the title is “Driver”.

The lyrics of the song are about a love story between a driver and a passenger. The protagonist said: “ Told to go forward and will go forward without turning as my identity is restricted. I am stupid and slow, but I am willing to accompanying you to the last stop. It is like my fate that I can only drive other people partner to their destination, so on the way, I never had the chance to stop and watch the street with you. Before entering the tunnel, next to the main road of the busy city, the fireworks were too short. While you date, eat or shopping, I can only stay on the side. When you put your hand out, I will always be there, so simple to make me come and go. Not up to me to choose, my true love, when will I be able to drive you to and from work? Why I still haven’t let this feeling go, as a driver how could I say no when you needed a lift? The heart of the passenger is not here, and I never carried this love. There is no need to say thanks. Why I still haven’t let these feelings go? I don’t like to feel sad behind other people back. I can choose not to love, no need to love. Let just pretend that I enjoy being commanded by you, perhaps this is better than being loved. When we are together, it was silence and the car speed felt slow. Then I realised that my looks in the rear mirror looks very sad. When you put your hand out, I will always be there, so simple to make me come and go. Not up to me to choose, my true love, when will I be able to drive you to and from work? Why I still haven’t let this feeling go, as a driver how could I say no when you needed a lift? The heart of the passenger is not here, and I never carried this love. There is no need to say thanks. Why I still haven’t let these feelings go? I don’t like to feel sad behind other people back. I can choose not to love, no need to love. Let just pretend that I enjoy being commanded by you, perhaps this is better than being loved. A light, a light, passed in front of you. Are you clear on how many years it had been that you are with this driver? No matter what happened, I will come for you. This love, who is willing to carry?” Hope you will like the song.
