Amended lyrics to a song I like

Amended lyrics of Eason Chan song

This took several days, and I can’t say I am absolutely happy with the final result. Well, I would say it is a decent effort since it is my first “complete” attempt at writing in mandarin (others which were abandon halfway), which is not exactly my preferred language of writing.

Just wanted to do something different for a change in the holidays and I am glad I tried to do it. Why such a lyrics you might ask? Well the original lyrics strike a chord with me and I attempted to change it in order to affiliate more with the emotions portray by the song I guess.

The lyrics were amended from the Eason Chan song of “Ji Mo Rang Ni Geng Kuai Le” or“寂寞让你更快乐”. I guess I didn’t really change very much of the original, leaving half of it intact.

Some of the inspirations of the amendment were from my experiences, others from friends around me. I wanted to convey the feelings of a guy who cares for the female he likes even though she does not reciprocate the feelings in return. In order not to ruin the friendship between the two parties, he agrees to appear contented in the public eye and would only show his true emotions to himself. He plays the role of a friend, a brother, or simply a listening ear to suit the female who treasures the friendship too. However, he knows that being just a friend, he is unable to be there all the time for her, since his role does not allow the capacity for him to do so. He also feels the hurt whenever he recalls the happy memories spent together, and wonders if he will be better off without meeting her in the first place. (slightly bitter emotions)

Hope the above explanation clears up some of the doubts that were inadequately expressed from the lyrics. I enjoyed the process of writing the lyrics. I hope that you will like reading it too.
