  • Some things cannot be translated...and making any attempt to translate it will it a fool of yourself...like you just demonstrated...LOL. Good try tho...LOL.

  • Very funny

  • good man n thank you

  • Apple and orange are fruit, but their seeds are totally different, cross planting without carefully study could only create a fruit that no one will want to have a bite. These ladies are great singer, I just hate to see this kind of songs. Just my 2 cents.

  • Darling ...OH!....listen to me....pllleeeeasssse! LOL but on a serious note, they sound great singing!

  • 听得菊花一紧

  • LOL HAHAHAHA!!!

  • so funny, love it!!! they sing really powerfully!!!

  • good

  • These 2 think they are hot shit because they think they speak good English. In fact, their accents are laughable.

  • @infinera06 it's not true! they just make their accent sound funny on purpose

  • Love the English version of 帝女花.! Lol

  • Brilliant! Thanks for upping this. :)

  • lol, the woman in white dress remind me to ellen deGeneres

  • Brilliant. Great vocals too.

    This is a gem..... lyrics for the illiterates like myself.

    More like this please

    Overall, this is Superb.......

  • very good lyrics

  • good

    不錯

    :)

  • 帝女花是一首悲情. 任白的名曲. 可是這兩位歌者. 喜皮笑臉. 以玩世不恭的態度去演繹. 完全失卻任白的神韻. 只在語文上唱腔. 相信有識之西人. 會恥笑我們粵劇不知所謂.........

  • @5170WU they used the music but not the same lyris...its the lyris that tells the story ...in this song, the lyris tells a happier story so i dont see why cant they enjoy and sing it in a different mood and tone.....also the way the music was played were also adjusted so make it sounded lighter and happier in order to create a happier tone. ..

  • THE BEGINING IS SO WEIRD AND FUNNY (THE PART WITHOUT MUSIC) BUT WHEN WE GET TO TEH END LYRICS " IF U PLAY MAHJONG I WILL NEVER CRITICIZE" AND " ITS THE TIME LETS GET HIGH WE CAN BOOGIE TILL THE END OF TIME" AND ALSO " LET US GO AND START TO PARTY, WHISKEY CHEESE AND WINE" IS SOOOO FUNNY AND SOO MODERN STICK TO CANTONSE PLEASE (BTW IM CANTONESE) STAY WITH TEH OLD WAYS JEEZ LOL AND TAHT WAS SO LEZBO LIKE LOL

  • OMG!!! :)

  • original version is much better than this.

  • so entertaning

  • they are really good! i have heard this song before but never thought there would be an english version of this song. are these words pretty close to the original?

  • Lui San is pretty

  • haha, very fun

  • pure amazing

  • Hey did anyone use traditional Chinese to perform Shakespeaken play?

  • Wow! Amazing. Haven't heard of this version before especially an old Chinese song as in opera song can have an English version.

  • 笑死我了~

  • This is simply ingenious; thank you for making my Saturday morning all the better!

  • Does anyone know the English name of this song?

  • can't have an angelic piece sung in barbarian language

  • This is a wonderful version of a classic, a super and creative effort. I agree with Fizztytech the original is hard to beat.

  • good singing.. i heard that song when i watch the perish in the name of love drama...even dont know the meaning but the melody is very nice.. ops.. im malay actly..huhu

  • This is a fun version, can see that the singers are having fun. Plus there is no way to translate the orginal chinese and subsitute it with english words into the song. I love the orginal song in cantonese.

  • Can Any Tell me where i can Get the lyrics from???

  • Comment removed

  • @spongygames

    their names are Suzan Guterres and Lui San

  • Guterres? wow! they both look asian.

  • @spongygames the woman singing the male part is rosanne lui. idk who the other person is

  • Haha....pretty weird!! However, they are good singers of course. This was very entertaining.

  • Music brings back memories.

    The original opera brings back sweet memory of my beloved grandmother who has passed on in 2003.

    No thanks to these ladies who butchered the classic.

  • Original was best. Shouldn't have messed with a good thing.

  • ???What???

  • 徹底無言

  • For the EMPORER!!!

    oops wrong vid

  • HILARIOUS. LOVE IT.

  • still original the best. it sounds so funny.

  • wow is this chinese opera or what is this???

  • I love this song!

  • laugh die me XDDD

  • It is funny but listening to it in English gave me that Goose pimple feeling.Should leave it in its original form.

  • oh man! funny song.

    like it so much

  • Great Lyrics!!

  • Copy me?

  • Modern classic at it's best!!Loving it !

  • Chinese opera has a lot of tradition in it. It should NEVER be translated.

  • Is it anywhere close to the original?

  • lol love it, great lyrics!

  • lololol

  • first time I hear Chinese opera sang in English, brilliant

  • This song is awesome!

  • hope all those white man will start to sing this song. its a very good chinese opera song.

  • *if you play mahjong, i'll never criticise*

    LOL!

  • They sang well, but the translation just doesn't match the Chinese version --- I mean if you want to sing a legendary Chinese song in English, at least pay some respect and translate it properly, please.

  • Wow. I never knew you could sing it in english like that. I've always loved this song, cause its so deep and sad, but this is WOW LOL THE OPPOSITE.

    I agree with joliewoo, the thing that made this song famous if cause of its deep meaning, at least pay some respect to it.

  • 恶搞果然无处不在

    如此名曲居然可以改成pop lesbian love song

    囧oz

  • pls post translation of original chinese version :) thanks

  • ps I don't understand Chinese so I can appreciate it in English. Thanks for bringing people like me into the experience!

  • Whoa! I was always completely lost when I watched Chinese Opera but when it's done in English it's actually very entertaining and I enjoyed the singing too!! It didn't just sound like a whole lot of shrills and gongs clanging about! Well done!

  • I hope this song will make more people like Cantonese opera . Because the original is really very very famous in Canton opera.

    Enjoy it.

  • @lililu8 it'd be hard 4 ppl 2 relate cause the lyrics werent translated corrected and the was sung in a completely different way with completely different emotions involved

  • Christ! WHY????

  • haha it proves how "easy" it is to stuff English lyrics (esp love lyrics) into a melody... it's alwasy the same themes and you use a total of about 100 words hahaha. This is much more creative than the average contemporary English garbage lyrics though!

  • I love it, good singing and cute lyrics !

  • What an abomination to the original. I almost cried as a result.

    (Well, at least my mom liked it.)

  • Very entertaining!

  • 哈哈 她们笑的好开心吖

  • This is hilarious, however, the lyrics in Chinese do not say the same thing. Good entertainment though.

  • ohh nooooo!!!! she must have visited vancouver

  • i like the wisky chesse and wine

  • i think it's kinda cute. enjoyable nonetheless

  • funny how old singers' English are a lot better than the younger ones nowaday... ;p

  • I've look at the video today. Both of them still put a smile on me.

  • They sing very weird.

  • love it..

  • Both of them sing well but they had changed the meaning of the actual lyrics too much to be acceptable. I wonder if any of them or lyric writer could sing/write more slightly following the actual meaning of the sotry.

  • Very Very Very entertaining.

    And both got great voice too.

    Wants more

  • it a great clip..luv it..

  • Wow, it must be the best English version ever.

    Though the original theme is drastically changed, the pair provided us a very entertaining performance. It can promote the original Cantonese Opera to an international level, I guess.
