@zorcocuk: Yup. It's a meaningful song but not enough people voted for it. It's sad...

MV2 song was good =)

Singapore has selected an everlasting classic Chinese 1990's song which was based on the children story "The Little Match Girl" for the upcoming X'mas edition. It's a pretty sad and touching song. I hope you guys will look forward to it and enjoy it. :cheers:

Original Song (Taiwan) - Panda Xiong - Huo Cai Tian Tang aka Matchstick Heaven


Remake version by Kelvin Tan Wei Lian (Live) - He's a visually disabled singer but his voice is nice.


English translation:
Walking in the freezing snowy night, selling matches to quell my dream
Every step is freezing cold, every step is lonely, the coldness of humanity frozen my hand
A pack of matches burn my heart, freezing cold night will not hinder my advance
Wind pierces my face, snow cut my mouth, dragging my feet wondering how long can I walk
Who will buy my matches ? Who will ignite every hope of mine ?
Who will buy my loneliness ? who will answer my call of homesickness ?

(Chorus 1)
Every time the match get lit, there is light and brightness
Can see the hope, can see the dream, can imagine mother in paradise talking to me
She says “You must be brave. You must be strong. Don’t be afraid. Don’t panic”
“will never let you stray again”

(Chorus 2)
Every time the match get lit, there is light and brightness.
Can see the hope, can see the dream, can imagine mother in paradise talking to me
She says “You must be brave. You must be strong. Don’t be afraid. Don’t panic”
“will never let you stray again”
Mother holding your hand to return home, to sleep in the warm, flower-blooming paradise

Stefanie Sun - Shen Qi Official Music Video - Sorry for the not "in-sych" sound video. I cannot find others videos! I guess they removed it off youtube. I'll replace it once there is better quality of it... @_@"""

Live in Singapore's Vivo City (one of our famous shopping malls here) - She sounds really amazing here! :cheers:


Tanya Chua - Wu Di Dong (Bottomless pit)

Lyrics: Credits to lattae@jaychou(dot)net
Sometimes when we are troubled by loneliness
and there are only spectators about us
Your feelings are not understood
Few will take the initiative to understand you
but their concern warms the heart
and you'd fall in love with him


(Bridge)
Recalling our love's detail
all due to a moment of foolishness it's gone

(Chorus)
Transiting from one relationship to another
Why is love never fulfilling, yet never entirely empty
Soon there will be another storm
Our hearts are but a bottomless pit
We've tried to kiss, to hug, to communicate
Without chemistry, all out attempts are futile
Most of us are alike
we only love the new faces
There's not one to taunt us
but we still face the temptation to love the wrong person
Is it the fear of loneliness, hence we keep finding someone to fill the space

(Bridge)
(Chorus)

JJ Lin - Cao Cao - This song rocks the most! It's about China's history or legend of the Three Kingdoms.

How can you read Three Kingdoms and not become a hero?
if you're a hero, how can you not understand loneliness
[bridge]
walking alone down Chang Ban slope, the moonlight is so gentle
Caocao doesn't talk needlessly, with all his heart he wants the state of Jing
using conspiracy, overt plans, persuasion, hidden thievery, faintness

[chorus 1]
at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land[China] split into Three Kingdoms
endless raging flames of war
there is no way to hold on to the deep love, who will warm the wine
the Three Kingdoms is each trying to cheat and outwit the other, unable to tell right from wrong
thousands of years of chaos later, all begins anew
oh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[repeat bridge] [chorus 2]
at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land split into Three Kingdoms
endless raging flames of war
immersed in love, chaos all around, who will warm the wine
the Three Kingdoms is each trying to cheat and outwit the other, unable to tell right from wrong
thousands of years of chaos later, all begins anew
[repeat bridge and chorus 2]
