My Little Airport - 悲傷的採購

[Yukmi777]

最愛作的不可發揮我的感覺逐漸流逝

或者我應該死去吧～總好過變得更差．．．

[Trace2731]

SIMPLEMENTE AMO A ESTA BANDA!!!!!! THANKS =)

[hkmch]

my favorite of My Little Airport!

and the most meaningful, sad but true one!

[MochaHSWong]

they speak in Cantonese

[OnlyMusic16]

This song is amazing in so many ways.

[paraplegicgiraffe]

do they speak mandarin?

[zwxfish]

Damn.. the song reminds me of a girl who used to be my best friend.

Every time I listened to it I felt terribly blue. However, yesterday never come back.

[winge918]

未成為工作的奴隸前，成為了功課的奴隸

[amusementbenson]

love it~ 正准备考试，轻松d

[zz1988]

＊如果繼續這樣　我還是我嗎？

我還喜歡我嗎？

或者我應該死去吧

總好過變得更差

如果繼續這樣　你還願意嗎？

和我奏著結他？

日子不應該這樣吧

而現實就是這樣可怕

訂了一季，又到下季．為何人大了就要成為工作的奴隸？

one season passed, another season arrives, why we have to be the slaves of our jobs?

如果繼續這樣，我還是我嗎？我還喜歡我嗎？

if I keep on doing this? am i what i am ?will I still like myself?

或者我應該死去吧～總好過變得更差．．．

maybe I should die, better to being even worse

日子不應該這樣吧~ 而現實就是這樣可怕．．

life should not like this, but the reality is just that scary

I just stranslated some of this hopefully can help you to get the general idea.

@zyhsimon

I tried to dictate and translate this a year ago but yours is more colloqial, 比較傳神, 生動. Why don't you take a look of my complete version and improve the rest of the lyrics?

Sincerely,

Roni

[Edy502]

Is this Cantonese or Mandarin? I know they're from Hong Kong, so it might be Cantonese, but you never know...

[fungyee11928]

@Edy502 It is Catonese

[xXiRenersXx]

@Edy502 It's cantonese. Haha, in case you haven't figured out yet.

[yannhk]

呢首好正

[NZ993]

如果繼續這樣，我還是我嗎？我還喜歡我嗎？

[caryball]

很有共嗚~

從前曾話過要如何欣賞世界的美麗，現在只懂得放假去消費

[lingering903]

luv ur video...can i request 春天在車廂裡? hehe thanks...

[scmchan021948]

Can the singers go one octave higher?

The recording is a bit dull and flat as it is, the vocal part does not stand out, thus a very low sense of presence of the singers.

I suspect that microphones with better "presence" may help a lot. If budget allows, try condenser mikes, otherwise, you may consider AKG 7D for crisp & clear vocals or Sennheiser 845 to enhance the lovely deep tone.

I am sure that you guys can do a lot better.

[ekypianoplayer]

actually, thats the efect they want p

thats their characteristic...

kid songs-like melodies,

with very meaningful lyrics.

[todesesser]

That is not the style of their music. If they did that I would not enjoy their sound.

[447GHT]

@scmchan021948 it's twee pop, it's supposed to be low fi and sound DIY.

[vaf88]

wow, i wonder what china is like

[shirley28997]

真係需要放一個長假休息吓

[taeki1219]

so touching...

[kaychan0123]

悲傷的採購 呢首歌簡直唱出我心聲/_\!

為何人大了就要成為工作的奴隸?

[oo79o]

放一個長假。。。。。。。。。。

[iamzerofilm]

我認為呢一首係my little airport最好聽的歌!

如果繼續這樣, 我還是我嗎, 我還喜歡我嗎?

[nicolaaaaaaaas]

CASIOTONE!!!

[Se7ennn]

Have you guys heard Chet's version? it has a slower tempo and more mellow, it's great also.

[drogadlama]

what's the songs name in english?

[RoniDream]

pathetic consumerism

(even though 採購 can also be translated as a verb, but buying sound too simplistic for the idea of this song)

[RoniDream]

sukianata (1 year ago) translated this as "A Sad Merchandiser" instead.

just for your reference. =]

[rickyling]

徹徹底底的道出了香港人的悲哀(公務員除外)

[charonchen]

interesting song~

anybody has the lyrics?

[RoniDream]

[hongkongnorton]

this is a song.

[comeonlisten]

香港最強indie pop組合

[agnesswl]

可爱的曲风,可是歌词也很写实...人大了就是这样,还真有点悲­哀的哩.

[lok6662002]

oh my god, this is marvelous! can't believe it's from HK

[chengshawan]

好快成為香港主流 ！！！！！ 支持

[yhakusho]

好

[Dai136]

what cd is this from?

I'm going to china soon and i want to buy it [=

[sukianata]

the song's sang by a group called "My Little Airport", the name means "A Sad Merchandiser", in which tells that a person thinks that he became slave of the work, and he thinks the life sucks, blah-blah-blah

An interesting group i presented to you all~

[rrddhh]

Best Asian band ever.

[sheenhunter]

how nice, reminds me of Katamari game music

[o0oSuperNovao0o]

I loves this song.

Can anyone tell me what language it's in?

I can't quite tell.

^_^

[lilacneko]

It's in Cantonese :)

[o0oSuperNovao0o]

Cool.

So what's the song about, then?

[hkeduvictim]

shopping & the boredom of working?

[RoniDream]

Pathetic consumerism ---my little airport

sicked for a season, now it's next. How come grow-ups have to become slaves of work?

(most beloved activities)Interests cannot be deveopledMy feelings are dying gradually

At a point of time, (it) has been said(considered) how to appreciate the beauty of the world

Now (we) just take holidays to consume

[RoniDream]

*

If this goes on, am I still myself? Will I like myself?

Perhaps I should die~ Better than hurting even more...

If this goes on, will you still be willing? To continue playing guitar with me

days(life) should not be like this~ and reality is that terrifying...

P.S. improve this if you can, I am no professional in translation.

[koieyoyo]

好好聽~~~

[GoodnightElectric]

I love My Little Airport so much!!!

[3boy2girlfucker]

愈聽愈正!

[happiness1987]

FUCKING COOL~

LOVE YOU~
