《城里的月光”》("Moonlight in the City")

《城里的月光》 ("Moonlight in the City") was the theme song of the TV drama 《豆腐街》 (“Tofu Street”) which was telecast in Singapore in 1996. This song was sung by Mavis Hee (许美静). When I first heard Mavis Hee's singing, I thought she sounded a bit like Faye Wong. 《城里的月光》 is such a beautiful song that it still sounds so good to me after so many years. This song has a tinge of romance, a tinge of warmth, a tinge of loneliness and a tinge of sadness.

 


歌词：

每颗心上某一个地方 总有个记忆挥不散

每个深夜某一个地方 总有着最深的思量

世间万千的变幻 爱把有情的人分两端

心若知道灵犀的方向 哪怕不能够朝夕相伴

城里的月光把梦照亮 请温暖他心房

看透了人间聚散 能不能多点快乐片段

城里的月光把梦照亮 请守候他身旁

若有一天能重逢 让幸福撒满整个夜晚

若有一天能重逢 让幸福撒满整个夜晚

which can be roughly translated as:

Somewhere in every heart, there is always a memory that lingers on.
Somewhere on every night, there is always something that is of deepest concern.
The world changes rapidly, love causes two persons in love to be apart.
If you know where your loved ones are,
you would not be afraid even if you are not together.

Moonlight in the city light up our dreams, please warm up his heart.
Having seen through everything in life, can we have more happy moments?
Moonlight in the city light up our dreams, please stay by his side.
If we can meet again one day, let the night be filled with bliss.
If we can meet again one day, let the night be filled with bliss.
