song: 漫漫前路

channel: Paula Tsui - Topic

(I miss the random 80s Hong Kong pop songs our elders would play on their Cantonese radio channel 📻💔)

[teafiend]

Was going through some shipping FMVs on YouTube and this video popped up, and just had to rewatch this iconic performance by two irreplaceable, legendary stars of their generation. Made me miss Anita Mui and her talents, her larger-than-life and generous personality and evergreen songs. It is saddening to think that I am now older than her when she passed away all those years ago. She should have had many more joyful and peaceful years ahead of her.

Her memory and songs still live in those of us who remember her, I suppose. I do hope she is resting in peace and love.

順流逆流 (downstream, upstream) - english translation

Written and composed by Terence Choi (蔡国权) and originally performed by Paula Tsui (蔡国权) in 1985. The music begins around 0:22 in the above video.

This song is in Cantonese, which I have VERY little knowledge in, so corrections are welcomed.

Below the cut and under the lyrics are two more video embeds of covers of this song that I personally like, by Faye Wong (王菲) and Jamyang Dolma (འཇམ་དབྱངས་སྒྲོལ་མ), who sings it in Mandarin.

不知道在那天边可会有尽头 只知道逝去光阴不会再回头 每一串泪水 伴每一个梦想 不知不觉全溜走

不经意在这圈中转到这年头 只感到在这圈中经过顺逆流 每颗冷酷眼光 共每声友善笑声 默然一一尝透

几多艰苦当天我默默接受 几多辛酸也未放手 故意挑剔今天我不在乎 只跟心中意愿去走

不相信未作牺牲竟先可拥有 只相信是靠双手找到我欲求 每一串汗水 换每一个成就 从来得失我睇透

不经意在这圈中转到这年头 只感到在这圈中经过顺逆流 每颗冷酷眼光 共每声友善笑声 默然一一尝透

几多艰苦当天我默默接受 几多辛酸也未放手 故意挑剔今天我不在乎 只跟心中意愿去走

不相信未作牺牲竟先可拥有 只相信是靠双手找到我欲求 每一串汗水 换每一个成就 从来得失我睇透

I don't know if there's an end to the horizon I only know the time that's lost will not return Every string of tears accompanies every dream Unwittingly, it's all slipped away

I didn't realize I'd been in this circle for this long I only feel I've been flowing downstream and upstream Every cold-eyed look and every friendly laugh I've tasted each one in silence

How many hard days have I silently endured? How much bitterness? And yet I haven't given up From now on I'll pay no heed to deliberate fussiness I'll only follow the will of my heart

I don't believe in gain without sacrifice I only believe in finding my desire with my own hands Every string of sweat is exchanged for every achievement Successes and failures, I'll see them all through

I didn't realize I'd been in this circle for this long I only feel I've been flowing downstream and upstream Every cold-eyed look and every friendly laugh I've tasted each one in silence

How many hard days have I silently endured? How much bitterness? And yet I haven't given up From now on I'll pay no heed to deliberate fussiness I'll only follow the will of my heart

I don't believe in gain without sacrifice I only believe in finding my desire with my own hands Every string of sweat is exchanged for every achievement Successes and failures, I'll see them all through
