被爱的女人

I picked up my mp3 player on the way home and switched it on. At this moment, this song started to play:
《被爱的女人》——李玟
在镜子前面 我是个被爱的女人
他站在门外 这个周末我可以依赖在他的胸怀
在情人面前 我还是单身的女人
爱若缺了缘份
我想我只能用情至深但不能太认真

为什么被爱 有时却觉得悲哀
为什么我还是害怕一个人醒来
为什么相爱 日子却依然空白
为什么你 走不到我的未来

让爱固定下来 我不会永远青春可爱
我的美丽要你的温柔帮我保留下来
让爱固定下来 我和你 不要不要分开
我不要爱一再一再彩排
我不是每次失恋后都能从新再来

为什么被爱 有时却觉得悲哀
为什么我还是害怕一个人醒来
为什么相爱 日子却依然空白
为什么你 走不到我的未来

让爱固定下来 我不会永远青春可爱
我的美丽要你的温柔帮我保留下来
让爱固定下来 我和你 不要不要分开
我不要爱一再一再彩排
我不是每次失恋后都能从新再来

The rendition that I was listening to was sung not by CoCo Lee, but by Kelly Poon, the female champion of the first Project SuperStar. As usual, here's a clip of a segment of the show that I found on youtube:



It's such a emotive song. Of course, it is about love; seems that that emotion is something that is on my mind these days. So, a rough translation/summary of the song lyrics goes along the lines of a female lamenting about how her love is so rocky with this dude, and that even though they were in love, she still felt some kind of emptiness in her life, and that she hopes that their love will stabilise soon, because she knows that she cannot always bounce back from each failed relationship.

Hmm... the content sounds familiar. If only my singing were to be as emotive as the way that Kelly did... it would be really amazing. Currently, my singing doesn't have that much harmonics in it—I can reach some high notes, but they don't really have that attractive quality about them; I think that it is to do with the timbre or something. Well, it might be impossible for me to actually achieve a high-pitched voice that actually sounds really good, but there's no harm trying.

Who knows, I might just be able to do it one day.
