許冠傑 - Drifter's Song - 浪子心聲 (英語版本) - Sam Hui

[kaballis]

Wow, I had no idea Sam sung this in English. I am immensely impressed, I have so many good childhood memories because of this song. Mum played this a lot growing up.

[kuchingtan]

Simply beautiful. Thank you, Sam Hui.

Sam Hui is realy a talent in the music world not only in Hong Kong and spreaded

world-wide whereever there are Chinese. His songs inspire all generation from young to old. I grow up with his generation in Hong Kong and now I live in the Bay area since 1988 and I still enjoying listening to his oldies on you-tube to relax my soul. He really deserves to be called Song-God.

i love the  english words. ! recalling memories of my HK friends who intro this to me years ago while we were lonely young students living overseas. Where you are, God bless you all.

I think anyone who do not like "Drifter's song" is not a true music lover. I tried to played this song the best I can. ( I am not a guitarist, not a singer either but I tried.) Many musician friend of mine loved this song. Just think their reaction if they saw Sam Hui perform this song. Sadly, I do not understand Chinese and I do not know what the meaning of the Chinese version of this song meant. If anyone can get hold of Sam. Please have him email me at slaptree00@yahoo.com

thanks

those 3 people who dislike this song are justin bieber's fans.

[zz1988]

another taste!

[mrblurblur2003]

Why does Sam wear a cap all the time? can anybody be guess?

[SingaSong4416]

@mrblurblur2003 It's his style after he came back from retirement, most of his clothing are leopard made by designers.

GOOD JOB SAM... NO ONE ELSE I KNOW CAN SING HIS TRADE MARK SONG IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.....AND STILL DO IT SO WELL :):)

[tonyteh]

what's the meaning of the chinese version of the song? any translations?

[fghcdd]

wow never heard the english version until now!

[BabyOxide]

omg ... good one!!

I was finding chinese songs sung in cantonese and cantonese songs sung in chinese .... and then i end up here ... english version !! lol

very good one indeed !!

[lehappyheart]

AWESOMEEEEEEE SONG!! Thank YOU!! :D

[mlsi]

the lyrics are different w/ the english version (as one would expect) but the theme is the same....

" dreams i once shared are just memories, so are the ppl who shared them w/ me. " <3

[anko8aug]

this the first time i heard it english good song

[Channypogosticks]

LAWLZ THIS SONG IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE CANTO ONE.... the original is talking about the stupidity of one caused by his/her ignorance... atleast thats how i perceive it.

[mlsi]

@Channypogosticks, i think the themes are very similar if not teh same. the cantonese version is also about ppl being subject to their fate. both versions project this sense of helplessness in life.

the cantonese version i think is about a guy who had great plans for life but he later felt the limitations (or helplessness) in life. the latter half of the song is about not being obessed with the outcome and just be happy and do good deeds. that's how i perceive it.

[dan020350]

sam hui 's spirit does not mix in with the English vocal very well.

[Biffo]

The meaning of the chinese lyrics are completely different from the english translation that sam hui actually sings. He's actually written out lyrics for a completely different song not really related to the original

[Myeusebius]

Beautiful tune and lyrics...I've been looking for this song...

Any more nice old songs from Sam Hui?

[albertsamtam]

so touching...crying~!

[universeckk]

Wow I didn't know the english version is available. The drifter song is very meaningful. Love it

[keowtor]

Sounds better in Cantonese the original version. Anyway it's good to hear the translation.

[funnyjoke23]

i like the chinese version better

[whcsteven]

命裏有時終須有，

命裏無時莫強求！

我終於明啦！深刻感受到啦！

[HondaCar0109]

You cle ver guy. Nice translation, Really love it. Thanks

[cku2]

its my pleasure that have the chance to meet him at the place I work tonight...and this song' s chinese version...is one of my most favorite lyic songs...it ready teach me how life is .......

[Jasonlovemusic]

Well, I like it in Chinese, but it's quite amusing to hear it in English.

[lifeisgood181]

If you find Drifter's song amusing. Then view The Private Eyes sang in English (see about video response)... is hilarious

[fungbryan]

It is ao funny but I think the Chinese version is much better and meaningful!

[Tommy12435]
