留不住你的心 ~ 鄧麗君 (Teresa Teng)

留不住你的心 ~ 鄧麗君 (Teresa Teng)


作詞：張錦華　作曲：張錦華


你曾經對我一往深情　我也曾經對你一片癡心

You have once been affectionate with me;
I have also been that way with you.


奈何情天掀起了風雨陣陣　使我倆離分
It is a pity that our sweet time has been
interrupted by rainstorms often, separating us.


你卻丟下了我　不管也不問
Then you leave me behind, ignoring me and do not
even ask about me.


縱然遇見了　也變成陌生的人
Even while chancing upon me,
you have become a stranger.


我已付出真情　也愛你這麼深　卻留不住你的心
I have already offered my true affection,
and loved you this deeply. But I cannot keep your heart.


你曾經對我一往深情　我也曾經對你一片癡心
You have once been affectionate with me;
I have also been that way with you.


奈何情天掀起了風雨陣陣　使我倆離分
It is a pity that our sweet time has been
interrupted by rainstorms often, separating us.


你卻丟下了我　不管也不問
Then you leave me behind,
ignoring me and do not even ask about me.


縱然遇見了　也變成陌生的人
Even while chancing upon me,
you have become a stranger.


我已付出真情　也愛你這麼深　卻留不住你的心
I have already offered my true affection,
and loved you this deeply. But I cannot keep your heart.

Remembering Teresa Teng ~ 鄧麗君離開15年 歌迷淚不止

Teresa Teng passed away 15 years ago today. I would never forget the very first moment of listening her songs, and the moment of hearing the sad news of her untimely passing on May 8th 1995 in Thailand.
Today, her fans around the world commemorate in their own ways to remember her. Her music has still given (especially) Overseas Chinese a sense of belonging, and pride in their heritage. They have surely given me joy and happy memories.
Her songs and music are still part of my life, and most of our lives.

Forever Teresa Teng

The idol of Chinese and Asian on Earth Planet,
Especially for me, in my heart, she had planted.
Resonating sweet and soulful music and songs,
Every night and day, listen and sing along.
Singing and listening even when sick in bed.
A bright and beloved star passed away in a flick.

Teresa, Always will cherish the sweet dream.
Every passing days, months, years and fifteen years now,
Nightingale, please tell me how,
Gone years be filled and the love for you will never dim.

六月茉莉~鄧麗君[June's Jasmine~Teresa Teng] And 六月茉莉（回到塵世）蔡琴

六月茉莉
作詞：許丙丁　作曲：許丙丁

六月茉莉真正美 郎君仔生做吗真古锥
The June Jasmine is really beautiful.
The loving young man looks really cute.
好花难得成双对 身边无娘仔伊都上克亏
Pretty flowers rarely come two by two. Without girl companionship,
the young man is rather unfortunate.

六月茉莉真正香 单身娘仔守空房
The June Jasmine is really fragrant.
The single girl stays in her room without company.
好花也着有人挽 没人知影伊都气死人
Flowers are pretty that is also if there is someone interested in picking.
If no one knows her existence, that is indeed upsetting.

六月茉莉香透天 单身娘仔无了时
The June Jasmine's aroma permeates in the air.
The single girl feels endlessly lonely.
好花也着合人意 何时郎君仔伊都在身边
Flower is pretty that is if someone appreciates.
When will the loving young man be around?

六月茉莉透暝香 单身娘仔做眠梦
The June Jasmine smells pretty throughout the night.
The single girl can only dream on it.
好花开了等下冬 娘仔亲戚伊都何时放
Nice flowers bloom till the end of Winter.
When will the single girl announce to marry?

六月茉莉满山香 挽花也得惜花欉
The June Jasmine is fragrant all over the mountains.
When picking the flowers, be careful with the bushes,
亲像蝴蝶乱乱弄 採过一欉仔伊都又一欉
Just like the butterflies messing up everything,
picking one bush then to another bush.

六月茉莉分六路 一欉较美搬落壼
The June Jasmine goes six different ways.
The prettier one ends up brought to the vase.
日时要挽有人顾 暝时要挽伊都人看无
During daytime there are people caring for the picked flowers.
It is hard to see at night.

Ode For Republic Of China

Remembering and Honouring Teresa Teng 鄧麗君

Again arises the chimney smoke
The evening light covers the earth.
I wish to ask the smoke wave after wave.
Where are you going?

The Sunset is a poem.
The dusk is a painting.
Though poem and painting are delight,
In my heart is only you.

Again arises the chimney smoke
To bring back my memories.
I wish you to become a colorful cloud,
And fly into my dreams.

又見炊煙升起　暮色罩大地
想問陣陣炊煙　你要去那裡

＊夕陽有詩情　黃昏有畫意
詩情畫意雖然美麗　我心中祇有你

又見炊煙升起　勾起我回憶
願你變作彩霞　飛到我夢裡

歎十聲 鄧麗君 and 童麗

歎十聲 鄧麗君

歎十聲 童麗　
烟花那女子
　叹罢那第一声
　思想起奴终身
　靠呀靠何人
　爹娘生下了奴
　就没有照管
　为只为 家贫寒
　才卖那小奴身
　
　伊呀呀得儿喂
　说给谁来听
　为只为 家贫寒
　才卖那小奴身
　烟花那女子
　叹罢那第二声
　思想起当年的
　坏呀坏心的人
　花言巧语 他把奴来骗
　到头来 丢下奴
　只成了一片恨
　
　伊呀呀得儿喂
　说给谁来听
　到头来 丢下奴
　只成了一片恨
　----
　烟花那女子
　叹罢那第三声
　思想起何处有
　知呀知心人
　天涯漂泊 受尽了欺凌
　有谁知 逢人笑
　暗地里抹泪痕
　
　伊呀呀得儿喂
　说给谁来听
　有谁知 逢人笑
　暗地里抹泪痕

但願人長久Wishing We Last Forever-Poem by Su Tongpo(苏轼)

Shui diao ge tou (水調歌頭; 水调歌头) is the name of a tune which is used to rhyme this famous poem, 水調歌頭·丙辰中秋, by the Song dynasty poet Su Shi, commonly known as Su Tongpo. Poets wrote different lyrics which usually have the same title "水調歌頭." "水調歌頭" made by Su, Shi (also known as 蘇東坡 Su, Tongpo) is the most famous one. 詞(ci) is one of the literary genre that is unique to Song dynasty in Chinese Literature and can be sung with melody. But many ancient melodies are lost throughout history. However, the fame of this lyric draws a modern popular composer to compose a new melody for it and is sung by very famous Chinese female singer,Teresa Teng. (From-http://en.wikipedia.org/)

The following is the original Chinese poem by Su Shi (Su Tung Po).
水調歌頭

丙辰中秋，歡飲達旦，
大醉，
作此篇，
兼懷子由。

明月幾時有？
把酒問青天。
不知天上宮闕，
今夕是何年？

我欲乘風歸去，
唯恐瓊樓玉宇，
高處不勝寒。
起舞弄清影，
何似在人間！

轉朱閣，
低綺戶，
照無眠。
不應有恨，
何事長向別時圓？

人有悲歡離合，
月有陰晴圓缺，
此事古難全。
但願人長久，
千里共嬋娟



水调歌头
苏轼
明月几时有，
把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，
今夕是何年。
我欲乘风归去,
又恐琼楼玉宇，
高处不胜寒，
起舞弄清影，
何似在人间。
转朱阁，
低绮户，
照无眠。
不应有恨，
何事长向别时圆。
人有悲欢离合，
月有阴晴圆缺，
此事古难全。
但愿人长久，
千里共婵娟。
Bright moon, when did you appear?
Lifting my wine, I question the dark night sky.
Tonight in the palaces and halls of heaven
what year is it, I wonder?

I would like to ride the wind, make my home there,
Only I hide in a jade room of a beautiful mansion,
As I could not bear the cold of high altitudes.
So I rise and dance and play in your pure beams,
this human world — how can it compare with yours?

Circling red chambers,
low in the curtained door,
you shine on the sleepless.
Surely you bear us no ill will —
why then must you be so round at times when we humans are parted!

People have their grieves and joys, their togetherness and separation,
The moon has its dark and clear times, its waxings and wanings.
Situations are never ideal since long ago.
I only hope we two may have long long lives,
So that we may share the moon's beauty even though we are a thousand miles apart.
Poem written during the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival of 1076 by Su TongPo

邓 丽 君 - 雨 中 追 忆

邓 丽 君 - 雨 中 追 忆

谁人雨下举伞
走过一片泥泞
为我传来远处讯息
书中尽诉别离情
写出你现在在雨中追忆
叙述你心凄怨
泪儿半凝
想到秋风
那天仿如怒鸣
怨君你赴前程

平原点点飘雪
可有阻你回程
若有热诚暖了你心
披星戴月也莫停
可知我日望夜盼等今天
日夕等你回来
共寻往日情
只怕当初
你所许那诺言
已飞逝无形

Heaven, Help My Heart (Teresa Teng)-鄧麗君歌友會 視像 鄧麗君1989 愛的15周年

Heaven,Help My Heart
If it were love I would give that love every second I had
And I do
Did I know where he'd lead me to?
Did I plan
Doing all of this for the love of a man?
Well I let it happen anyhow
And what I'm feeling now
Has no easy explanation
Reason plays no part
Heaven help my heart
I love him too much
What if he saw my whole existence
Turning around a word, a smile, a touch?

One of these days, and it won't be long,
he'll know more about me
Than he should
All my dreams will be understood
No surprise
Nothing more to learn from the look in my eyes
Don't you know that time is not my friend
I'll fight it to the end
Hoping to keep that best of moments
When the passions start
Heaven help my heart
The day that I find
Suddenly I've fun out of secrets
Suddenly I'm not always on his mind

Maybe it's best to love a stranger
Well that's what I've done -- heaven help my heart
Heaven help my heart

娘心 - 鄧麗君
曲︰大島ASAE
詞︰林煌坤
編︰渡邊茂樹

＊迎著風霜　腳步淒涼　浪子在異鄉
受盡創傷　歷盡滄桑　想起我的娘
娘心如綿　體貼我身　帶給我溫暖
我要回到你身旁

＃不再放蕩　不再流浪　我要回家鄉
重新做人　重新做事　安慰我的娘
娘心如月　照亮我身　使我不徬徨
也會使我更堅強
重唱　＊,＃

Braving the wind and frost, forlornness,
Miserable prodigal son in the foreign land,
Having been suffered in the extreme of adversities,
I remember my mother.
Mom’s heart is soft, caring, and warm.
I have returned to your side.

No longer will I roam or wander about,
I have to return home,
To turn over a new leaf, to start all over again,
To comfort my mother.
Mom’s heart is bright like the Moon.
It illuminates my entire life, steadies my way.
She makes me stronger.

One Of My Favorite Songs of Teresa Tseng ~ 鄧麗君~~無奈

鄧麗君~~無奈

One of my cousins gave me a Teresa Teng's CD when I visited Taiwan in 2005. One of the songs is this beautiful song, 無奈. Teresa recorded this song in 1985. It got lost at that time, only to be discovered 20 years later by chance (As per stunningnuts on youtube.com ). I have never heard of this song before then. I like it very much, and hope you like it too.

我本來打算離你遠去　從此不再提起你

看著你一臉茫然　眼眶是淚滴

我無能為力

心中的無奈　像一根線

牽絆著我還有你

我實在實在　沒有勇氣

來拋下這情意

這一刻雖然默默無語　但是我心在哭泣

求求你不要問我　為什麼淒淒

我無法回答你

也許有一天　我離開你

請相信是不得已

我心中心中　有個秘密

卻無法告訴你

我青梅竹馬童年伴侶　如今又與我相聚

我們倆從前有過　愛情的默契

今生要在一起

這一份無奈　隱藏心底

該選擇他還是你你

教我教我　怎麼處理

這三角的難題

你教我教我　怎麼處理

這三角的難題

I only understood some parts of the song. I got the full meaning from my betterhalf.

Teresa Teng's Birthday January 29, 1953

Teresa Teng, January 29, 1953 - May 8, 1995

I heard her beautiful voice for the very first time on my uncle's wedding ceremony in 1979. Her songs were played on the boombox in the wedding hall. I was mesmerized by her clear and sweet vocal. I did not understand songs' lyrics. I did not know who the singer was. I found out later that she was from Taiwan, a daughter of a KMT soldier and her parents were from China. I got two tapes from my uncle before I went back to my town. I always played two tapes of Teresa Teng. I still remembered asking my mother to play her tapes when I was sick and laid on the bed.

She still is irreplaceable Teresa Teng. Her songs and her graceful image live on forever in my heart.

Forever Teresa Teng

Forever Teresa Teng

(Her tenth anniversary of passing on May 8th 1995)

The idol of Chinese and Asian on this Mother Planet,
Especially for me, in my heart, she had planted.
Resonating beautiful, soulful and sweet music and songs,
Every day and night, we listen and sing along.
Singing and listening even when I was feeling very sick.
A bright and beloved star passed away in a flick.
Teresa, I will always cherish the sweet dream.
Every passing day, month, year and ten years now,
Nightingale, please tell me how,
Gone years be filled and the love for you will never dim.
