    What my iPod is playing...林憶蓮 - 本色



    I'm huge fans of Sandy Lam, the true diva of Hong Kong Cantopop. I have the entire collection of her CDs since her debut in 1985. Her music reflects the delicacy, the longing, and the elegance of a city woman. I've been playing her latest album 《本色》(True Colors).《為何他會離開你》(Why he would go away) and《再見悲哀》(Goodbye Sadness) really hit home and pull my heartstring. Relationship should be a two-way street - it takes sacrifice from both partners. Relatiionship is about giving and taking, is about respecting personal boundary.

    情人 要被 輕放
    自然相處洽當 為何不聽我講

    為何他會離開你 誰叫你自己不會飛
    常纏在一起 會換來危機
    他找你 不找你 你不智地對他生氣
    問他等於問你 當我問候你

    雙眼像鑿滿傷悲 誰又敢深愛你但未怪你
    昨天那天真的你
    若是還有骨氣 拿回纏他的心機
    拿去愛惜你 怎可洩氣

    為何他會離開你 誰叫你沒火花點起
    仍纏在一起 誰亦會怕膩
    他找你 不找你 有他那苦衷兼道理
    男人總輕視你寸步難離
    原來擁吻 如不放 錯在你
