《我望着镜中的你》

《我望着镜中的你》is probably one of the lesser known songs written by Liang Wenfu 梁文福 in the 1980s. The lyrics are very meaningful and it is one of those songs that you will grow to like it after listening to it a few times. I loved the piano accompaniment especially at the beginning of the song. 

歌词:

我望着镜中的你
时间是一场游戏
许多的故事它不说谜底
原来都写在你眼里

从前曾经看着你
一副少年神气
多少的梦要告诉你
后来再次看到你
你的沉默不容易
看你将无奈抹去

今天仔细看着你
你我都要珍惜
我们依旧是自己

我望着镜中的你
望穿了我的过去
激动和温柔都经过我心底
却在你脸上留痕迹

从前曾经看着你
年轻就是道理
眉间有多少决定
后来再次看到你
喜和忧混在一起
说不出名字的表情

今天让我看着你
我们都已不介意
你相信我我相信你


Which can be translated as:


As I looked at you in the mirror 
Time is a game 
There are many stories that would not reveal the answers
Actually they were all written in your eyes

In the past when I looked at you
you were young and spirited
I had so many dreams to tell you
When I see you again 
Your silence is not easy
 I see that you have erased your helplessness

Today as I looked at you carefully
You and I should cherish 
We are still our own selves

As I looked at you in the mirror 
I looked through my past
Excitement and gentleness had been felt
But they left traces on your face

 In the past when I looked at you 
Being young was the justification
Many decisions were made then
When I see you again 
Joy and sorrow were mixed together 
The expression of not being able to call out the name

Today let me look at you 
We no longer mind
We believe in each other

《排排坐》("Sitting in Rows")

《排排坐》("Sitting in Rows") was one of the earlier works of 梁文福 (Liang Wenfu) in the 1980s. It was sung by 梁文福 and黃譓赬. This is a song with meaningful lyrics.



歌词:

从前我们喜欢排排坐
争着嚷着吃着糖果
分不清楚时就都爬树去
谁爬的高谁分的最多

如今我们不吃糖果
甜蜜的话是听的太多
大家笑着争个死活
谁爬的高谁掌声最多

从前我们喜欢团团坐
猜谁的枕头里梦儿最多
说不清楚时就都捉迷藏去
谁藏的好谁掌声最多

如今话儿是兜个圈子说
猜谁的口袋里名片最多
你我都爱把眼泪藏起
谁藏的好谁掌声最多

从前我们喜欢一块儿坐
听着奶奶把她的故事说
奶奶说完了都到院子里去
看天上星星不停闪烁

如今人人都亲热的多
转过头就把你来数落
谁的心没有默默地痛过
满天的星星也疲倦得多

如今人人都亲热的多
转过头就把你来数落
谁的心没有默默地痛过
满天的星星也疲倦得多

满天的星星也疲倦得多

从前我们喜欢排排坐............

Which can be translated as:

In the past we liked sitting in rows
fighting over, crying over, eating candies .
When we could not decide who won,
we would compete by climbing trees.
The person who climb the highest would get the most candies.

Now we no longer eat candies.
We heard too much sweet words.
We compete with a smile.
The person who climbed the highest gets the most applause.

In the past, we liked sitting in circles
guessing who had the most dreams in their pillows.
When the answer was not clear,
we would play hide and seek.
The person who hid the best would get the most applause.

Now we beat about the bush,
guessing who has the most name cards in their pocket.
We liked to hide our tears.
The person who hid the best would get the most applause.

In the past, we liked sitting together
listening to grandma telling us her story. When grandma had finished, we would go to the yard,
to see the twinkling stars in the sky.

Now everyone is more affectionate,
but criticize you behind your back.
Who has never been hurt before?
The stars in the sky are exhausted too.


Now everyone is more affectionate
but criticize you behind you back
Who has never been hurt before?
The stars in the sky are exhausted too.

The stars in the sky are exhausted too.

In the past we liked sitting in rows...
