translating chinese lyrics into english is hard... sometimes impossible. (my two cents.) also (minor plug), there are some brief bios of the most well-known wuxia themesong lyricists in the Music subforum. |

siuyiu. I have many favourites too. So, I'm going to post one at a time. You can do so too. choose one and post first. My first one. The melody is so so, but, I like the lyrics very much. Lam Jik chose to use Buddhist philosophy in the lyrics to match the theme of the series, and I appreciate that. I'm trying to memorise this song now. The lyrics is very hard to remember because there are song many words in one line (and not simple words) and the tempo is very fast. One of the hardest song I've tried to memorise so far due to the difficult lyrics. Demi God Semi Devil 97 themesong難唸的經 "The Scripture that is Hard to Recite" 作詞：林夕 Lyricist: Albert Leung (Lam Jik) 作曲：周華健 Composer: Emil Chau 編曲：李庭匡 Arranger: Lee Ting Hong 主唱：周華健 Singer: Emil Chau 笑你我枉花光心計 愛競逐鏡花那美麗 怕幸運會轉眼遠逝 為貪嗔喜惡怒著迷 責你我太貪功戀勢 怪大地眾生太美麗 悔舊日太執信約誓 為悲歡哀怨妒著迷 啊 捨不得璀璨俗世 啊 躲不開癡戀的欣慰 啊 找不到色相代替 啊 參一生參不透這條難題 吞風吻雨葬落日未曾徬徨 欺山趕海踐雪徑也未絕望 拈花把酒偏折煞世人情狂 憑這兩眼與百臂或千手不能防 天闊闊雪漫漫共誰同航 這沙滾滾水皺皺笑著浪蕩 貪歡一餉偏教那女兒情長埋葬

@caiyi o.O that's a very dense song! and agreed that the melody is so-so--i find that about emil's songs in general. his themesong for ROCH95 is equally bleah. ok, well, i'll post my faves one at a time as suggested! they're pretty obvious choices. 愛的懲罰 "Love's Punishment" 曲: 鍾肇峰 composer: Chung Kai Fung 詞: 盧國沾 lyricist: Lo Kwok Tsim 唱: 羅家良 sung by: Galen Law 懲罰我諸多思慮 錯不在愛得太醉 不錯是情濃 錯於太被動 惹來痛苦不可以減除 無論我心想怎樣 更多夢再三破碎 怎說是無緣 卻因愛受罪 有時我想急罵天一句 我伸手狂呼向天指 悲憤後教人兩眼垂 難道必須因此流眼淚 提示我咎由自取 其實我身心早已累 我心願卻不散去 雙眼在遙遙 向她再望望 這時我心竟又再痴痴醉 |

誓要入刀山 "Entering Peril"
作曲：顧嘉煇 composer: Joseph Koo
填詞：古龍 lyrics: Gu Long
主唱：鄭少秋 sung by: Adam Cheng
誓要去入刀山
浩氣壯過千關
豪情無限男兒傲氣
地獄也獨來獨往返
存心一闖虎豹穴
今朝去幾時還
奈何難盡歡千日醉
此刻相對恨晚
願與你盡一杯
聚與散記心間
毋忘情意長存浩氣
日後再相知未晚

final one for now:
春雨彎刀 themesong "Spring Rain, Curved Sabre"
曲: 顧嘉煇 Joseph Koo Ka Fai
詞: 鄧偉雄 Tang Wai Hung
唱：甄妮 Jenny Tseng
情情怨怨在春雨裡
仇仇恨恨在彎刀邊
耀目刀鋒光似冰霜
難斷春雨密綿綿
顰顰笑笑在春雨裡
名名利利在彎刀邊
斷石分金剛勝青霜
難斷心裡恨綿綿
*心似絮還亂 恩似滅還現
萬般得失 萬般愛惡
盡在江湖了斷
＃情情怨怨消失春雨裡
名名利利滅卻彎刀邊
獨剩凄風吹冷肝膽
陪伴那春雨密綿綿

Reincarnated I & II themesong
天蠶變 "Silkworm Change"
作詞：盧國沾 Lyricist: Lo Kwok Tsim
作曲：黎小田 Composer: Lai Siu Tin
主唱：關正傑, 葉振棠
獨自在山坡 高處未處高 命運在冷笑
暗示前無路 浮雲遊身邊 發出警告
我高視闊步 雖知此山頭 猛虎滿佈
膽小非英雄 決不願停步 冷眼對血路
寂寞是命途 明月映山崗 倍覺孤高
拋開愛慕 飽遭煎熬 早知代價高 絲方吐盡
繭中天蠶必須破籠牢 一生稱英雄 永不信命數
經得起波濤 更感自傲 抹去了眼淚
背上了憤怒 讓我攀險峰 再與天比高

The rap made the melody very unwuxia, but, the lyrics is very wuxia feel. It talks about brotherhood and the friendship between 2 xias.
The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng themesong
雙俠 "Twin Xia"
作詞：崔想 Lyricist: Cui Xiang
作曲：無極生 Composer: MAXAM
主唱：無極生 Singer: MAXAM
鳥一對天空海闊分飛
酒一杯各自天南地北
兩雙腿踏著時間去追一個完美
不後悔我們一去不回
你是誰沾染日月清輝
我是誰喝過銀河之水
趁酒醉雙雙到人間度一場是非
下一回七度空間相會
我跟你相遇中國遙遙十萬八千里
我跟你相遇在不屬於自己的土地
是緣分是巧合 讓你我成為兄弟
是可遇不可求 那種無形的默契
鳥一對在天空中相會
酒一杯衝淡是是非非
兩雙腿踏過千山萬水從來不累
縱不回也在他鄉交匯
你是誰為我插刀兩肋
我是誰對你掏心掏肺
風一吹世間的傳說轉眼就破碎
不後退我們盡力而為
手一揮掌一推
浩瀚宇宙沒有極限的範圍
小天地大智能
無極世界其實在你我心扉
手一揮掌一推
清靜心靈沒有極限的範圍
小天地大智能
無極世界其實沒什麼絕對
已經忘記與你一齊經歷過了多少的血和淚
這種感情已經超越過了時間超越了年和歲
面對任何眼淚 受過多少的罪 我們也不撤
退一齊來吧喝醉裝滿烈酒的杯怎麼碰不會碎
鳥一對在天空中相會
酒一杯衝淡是是非非
兩雙腿踏過千山萬水從來不累
縱不回也在他鄉交匯
你是誰為我插刀兩肋
我是誰對你掏心掏肺
風一吹世間的傳說轉眼就破碎
不後退我們盡力而為
手一揮 掌一推
浩瀚宇宙沒有極限的範圍
小天地 大智能
無極世界其實在你我心扉
手一揮 掌一推
清靜心靈沒有極限的範圍
小天地 大智能
無極世界其實沒什麼絕對
經得起風得起浪才知道什麼叫珍貴
同嘗過甘吃過苦才明白什麼叫無悔
天地之大融會無極兩端相遇一對
轉眼間就會出現人間光芒之最

@caiyi the lyrics really do touch nicely on the spirit of wuxia, especially with regards to the brotherhood. the rap style is a bit weird when applied to the wuxia genre, but hey, must go with the times (i guess).
i was going through some of my other faves--will post later--and discovered that, unlike you, my love of a set of lyrics is quite dependent on the melody of the song! so, there could very well be a fantastic set of lyrics out there, but if the melody line is bad, i won't pay as close attention to the words.

ok, here is lo kwok tsim at his most story-specific (well, one very well known example):
themesong and subtheme to dagger li 1978 (same melody--and look how the lyrics complement each other to tell li xunhuan's story!):
小李飛刀 - 羅文 Dagger Li, sung by Roman Tam
曲︰顧嘉輝 composed by Joseph Koo
詞︰盧國沾 lyrics by Lo Kwok Tsim
難得一身好本領 情關始終闖不過
闖不過柔情蜜意 亂揮刀劍無結果
流水滔滔斬不斷 情絲百結衝不破
刀鋒冷 熱情未冷 心底更是難過
無情刀 永不知錯
無緣份 祇嘆奈何
面對死不會驚怕 離別心悽楚
人生幾許失意 何必偏偏選中我
揮刀劍 斷盟約 相識註定成大錯
揮刀劍 斷盟約 相識註定成大錯
刀光淚影 - 羅文 blade's light, tear's reflection; sung by Roman Tam
曲︰顧嘉輝 composer: Joseph Koo
詞︰盧國沾 lyricist: Lo Kwok Tsim
人生處處留情
留得點點薄倖名
未留名 未留姓
認得刀背淚影
人生處處留情
贏得點點淚未停
揮刀劍 斷盟約
刀鋒最是無情
無情刀 以死一拼
無緣份 悲痛莫名
情義是無形
為報恩只有負情
從今化做浮萍
寒星淒清傷孤影
分飛燕 恨流浪漢
焉知我是情聖

more lo kwok tsim:
流星蝴蝶劍 Meteor, Butterfly, Sword
詞：盧國沾 lyrics: lo kwok tsim
曲：張志雲 composed by: cheung chi wan
唱：鄭寶雯 sung by: cheng bo man
流星閃過後永逝去，讓黑暗重回頭，
光輝一剎不須永久，只爭鋒頭。
人生當美夢破碎，就知道心苦透，
得到一次更值回味，已經足夠。
如流星遠近見到，遲早亦能做到，
誰能夠一劍得手，不再依戀，轉身退後。
明知歡笑面常懷愁，莫傷嘆寶劍生綉，
一生一次光輝時候，已經罕有。

switch over to james wong. this is the themesong of the radioplay of 沈勝衣.
舊侶難忘 - 羅文 Unforgettable Companion of Old, sung by Roman Tam
作詞：黃沾 lyrics: james wong
作曲：顧嘉輝 composer: joseph koo
情是網 恨似劍 護我心也傷我心
忘情心不忍難免有限
為變劍網下人
情是魔力有魔劍 熱你心也苦你心
任你一生英雄真好漢
亦難衝開心裡困
情厚義重 卻是有心偏不可報答
情癡心癡 卻是緣盡我今生 呀
長記舊情新怨 未捨朋情仇恨
長存傷心史 長懷癡心意
永留心中千百印

a subtheme of ROCH
留住今日情 - 張德蘭 Savour This Romance, sung by Teresa Cheung
作詞：鄧偉雄 lyrics: tang wai hung
作曲：顧嘉煇 composer: joseph koo
人間一切換了真愛，也莫去管人說是傻.
任他世事全是障礙，此世此生也知非白過。
曾經相見，別去轉眼，也未痛惜，無嘆奈何。
獨知那日曾沐愛河，無謂悔恨，未會感慨。
那怕是苦纏綿，只是願當日曾相愛，
不必理今日夢不重來，心內情義誓不改。
人間一切換了真愛，也未痛惜，無嘆奈何,
雁分兩地，情義永在，誰懼以後夢也不可再。

I've never heard of the subtheme version of the lyrics. Need to study the lyrics more to see how it complements the themesong. I felt that the lyrics of the themesong already encompass all. The subtheme get into the details with the line 為報恩只有負情. But, overall I felt that the lyrics of the themesong is more well written. |
