维纳斯 (Venus) by 黄耀明 (Anthony Wong)

(scroll down to see my translation of the lyrics)
This fantastic version of the song "Venus" is from Anthony's 2006 concert "HKPO vs. Anthony Wong Live - Bauhinian Rhapsody". This is truly Anthony at his best!

选自"电幻狂想曲"。没有别人可以将这首歌演绎的如此完美，真是此曲只合天上有!

Here is a word-by-word translation:

当樱花不再洁净
When the cherry blossoms are no longer pure
当烟花散在泥泞
When the sparkles of firework scatter into mud
哀怨得有些动听
So sad, it almost sounds a bit pleasant
凄美得有些痛惜
So desolate yet beautiful, it is a bit deploring
都市中太多记忆
There are too many memories in this metropolis
会镀成神话证明
Will be gilded into myth, to prove that
爱仍然可晶莹
love still could be translucent

(顺着我天性)
Follow my nature
(完成我生命)
Complete my life
(华丽地丰盛)
So sumptuous and magnificent
维纳斯的呼应
It's the echoing of Venus
上世纪的约定
It's the agreement made in the last century
因此信爱情
So now we can believe in love

当秋色不再恬静
When the autumn scenery is no longer tranquil
当春色染上罪名
When the spring colors are polluted by accusations
不要医我的病症
Don't cure my illness
只要追你的远景
Only want to chase your distant view
都市中太多记忆
There are too many memories in this metropolis
会镀成神话证明
Will be gilded into myth, to prove that
爱仍然可忠诚
love still could be faithful

(顺着我天性)
Follow my nature
(完成我生命)
Complete my life
(华丽地丰盛)
So sumptuous and magnificent
维纳斯的呼应
It's the echoing of Venus
上世纪的约定
It's the agreement made in the last century
因此信爱情
So now we can believe in love

跟孔雀飞到折翼
Fly with peacocks until wings are broken
跟风霜跌下地平
Dance with wind and frost until fallen down to earth
一切都变得动听
Everything sounds pleasant
一切都觉得痛惜
Everything is deploring
都市中太多记忆
There are too many memories in this metropolis
会镀成神话证明
Will be gilded into myth, to prove that
爱仍然可倾城
love still could be overwhelming

anyone heard of Sarah Brightman's "Anytime anywhere"? released much earlier than this version. Seems that Anthony has at least consulted her version.

Regardless, Anthony did a very nice job. The lyrics are very moving

@amnesiacadvocate

Just found it on Youtube. Very good. Divine.

Hello favutube, 凄美 = desolate and beautiful. What do you think? I have posted a translation in the "description"

[favutube]

Another song, 四大皆空 (黄耀明) is very nice too. I like the lyrics, it's very cool. It's from a tv drama, the editing (canton theme song version) is very match with the canton theme song.

[AerithStrife9]

Yep. I love that song too.

I like his make up~~~ it's so impressing!!!

REAL HK MUSIC

[fishermanfish]

Oh wow! Ming gor just raised from E flat minor to G# minor at the last chorus. Very impressive!! Again, this gave a powerful ending for the song.

[jctube11]

Brilliant....Always original and creative...

[AerithStrife9]

I don't know music theory either. Since you mentioned Albinoni, I looked up in Wikipedia. There is a pretty good version of this music on Youtube, just search for "Adagio in G minor by Albinoni". But I like Ming-Gor's version better.

[favutube]

o_o ?

oh, the "compose" part, they wrote 'Albinoni' on it.

anyways...i dont know music theory, etc. So i don't really understand what you are talking about, lol

[AerithStrife9]

The music is based on Adagio in G minor by Albinoni. However, it's not composed by Tomaso Albinoni, but Remo Giazotto.
