"Men's Talk"

"Men's Talk" is one of my favourite songs from 张清芳 (Stella Chang). 张清芳 could sing high notes powerfully. Most of her songs have a high tune.

The tempo of "Men's Talk" is a bit fast. The lyrics were mainly talking about her boyfriend confiding in his male friend rather than her.

你说你有个朋友住在淡水河边

心里有事你就找他谈天
直到月出东山你才满脸抱歉

告诉我你怎么度过这一天
你说你有个朋友住在淡水河边

相识在你最沮丧的那一年
直到我的出现你才满心快乐
把我们的事对他说了又说

不像平常那样的沉默

爱人不能是朋友吗

你怎么都不回答

你的心事为什么只能告诉他
我其实也想知道

你有多么喜欢我

你怎么跟别人形容我

后来我才知道 有些话你只对朋友说
你们叫它做 淡水河边的 Men's Talk
后来我才明白 有些事你只对朋友说
我和你就像天和地 

你是云天上飞 

而我的泪水滴成了河

which can be translated as:

You said you have a friend staying beside the Tamsui River
You will confide in him whenever you are troubled
Until the moon rises from the east
You then appeared and apologised
And told me how you spent the day

You said you have a friend staying beside the Tamsui River

You got acquainted with him at the time when you were most depressed

Until I came into your life 

You were filled with joy

And told him all about us

Unlike your normal quiet self

Can't lovers be friends too

Why don't you reply

Why is it that you can only confide in him

I want to know

How much you like me

How do you describe me to other people

Only later do I know that there are some things that you will only tell your friend

You call it "Men's Talk" beside the Tamsui River

Only later do I understand that there are some things that you will only tell your friend
You and I are like the sky and earth

You are the cloud flying in the sky

My tears flow like the river.
