ENGLISH TRANSLATION Forgotten Time by Tsai Chin Who is tapping my window Who is strumming1 the strings2? That forgotten time gradually makes my heart rise again The rain that lightly floats down continuously taps my window There's only the silence of my unspeaking self, who doesn't stop recalling the past Who is tapping my window? Who is strumming the strings? The memory of that happy scene gradually makes my mind rise again
Actually she has songs that are much more beautiful than this. Another singer who is fabulous is Fei Yu-Ching. He actually is even better than her but for top male & female, I'll pick the 2 of them. They've also sung duets together.
i just wish i had the same speakers in the record shop of infernal affairs so i can hear this song in an even better sound O_O ... is it even possible ... better sound?
Tsai Chin has one of the best voices of all time. To find a contemporary counterpart, you can name Canada's Celine Dion, or Italy's Lara Fabian. These divas reign the musical world, now and perhaps the future. Thank you Tsai Chin for this performance.
as in celine is nowhere near Tsai Chin ... no offence but celine dion is at best a pop singer .. nowhere has she the presence and control that Tsai Chin has ... perhaps it is better to discuss Tsai Chin and the great Ella ...

I'm not going to claim that Celine Dion is a better singer than Tsai Chin, but the comparison is at the very least an interesting one. You have to take one of Celine's better songs though. Even as someone who detests the vast majority of Celine's songs I can still appreciate her voice, which is quite remarkable. She has sadly wasted her talents on songs that do nothing to show off her voice. Someone, not me, could just as easily take one of Tsai's lesser songs and scoff at comparing her to Ella.
To the posters above, there are two Tsai Chin - the singer from Taiwan and the actress from Shanghai. This video is the former; the latter also goes by Irene Chow and is not the same individual.
Have been searching for this song right after watched IF. Finally, i found it. Beautiful!!!!

If anyone is interested, this is the song at the start of Infernal Affairs that Andy Lau and Tony Leung listen to in the stereo equipment shop.
Hey - another fact is that this lady, Tsai Chin, is playing cards at the big game in the new Bond movie 'Casino Royale'. Yay!

Well, actually she was the girl in bed with Sean Connery at the beginning of "You Only Live Twice", right before he gets short.
But I wish somebody would post some songs in English by her
