Here is a very cute new singer from Hong Kong. His name is Pakho (funny name…) or Chinese 周柏豪. His very first album “beginning” just contains very few songs. This is my favorite out of it. It’s called 同天空 which means “the same sky”. It’s in Cantonese, so I’ll just put the Chinese lyrics and and English translation here:

Another Cantonese song by Cheng Ekin (郑伊健). The song is called 心照 and will certainly put you in a good mood. It talks about having happy moments and sad moments, optimism and just life in general. In Cantonese they tend to use the character 亦 (yì) instead of 也 (yě), but both mean “also, too”. Here are the lyrics:

Here is a very catchy song by Eason Chan (陈奕迅). It’s called Bike (单车) and talks about a couple on a bike or the memories of it. If you’ve ever been to China, you probably know how many people are riding bikes, and often it’s in couples…
And by the way, did you ever notice how visual the traditional characters for bike look: 單車
This is a Cantonese song again, so I only have the Chinese lyrics without pronunciation:

A song called 一千个伤心的理由 (a thousand reasons to be sad) by 张学友 (Jacky Cheung). He has a very good voice and is one of the best singers in Hong Kong. Omg, and I seriously thought 张学友 was a female artist, before I heard his music xD.
Here are the lyrics:

It’s been almost three weeks since my last post. Hope everyone had a pleasant new year. I got many new song inspirations that I’ll be sharing the coming days ;)
Here is the second Cantonese song from “BOY’Z” called 男生围. Talks about students from a boys school graduating. It’s a very catchy song and I had an “Ohrwurm” of it for several days.
Here are the lyrics:

Second song from Eason Chan (陈奕迅) called 一切还好 (Everything is fine). This song is perfect for getting up in the morning, if you’re having the same struggles like me ^^. Anyway, here are the Chinese lyrics:

Today I have some Cantonese songs to offer. This one is from 陈奕迅 (Eason Chan) and is named 明年今日 (The same day next year). Unfortunately I don’t have a romanized version for Cantonese lyrics, yet. But for me it helps to listen to the song and read the lyrics along and thus get familiar with Cantonese. Here are the Chinese lyrics:

Ok, enough of 阿杜 emotional music now. Let’s listen to something brighter and more fun. And practice some Cantonese at the same time. The song is called 德州的故事 (dé zhōu de gù shì, a story from Texas) from Twins. It’s really upbeat and a “Gute-Laune-Mukke” as we would say. Just try to sing along with the Cantonese with these lyrics:
