[Lyric Appreciation] Fang Datong·Red Bean/Faye Wong·Repayment-Lin Xi

When I was taking a shower that day, I suddenly missed Fang Datong's version of red beans.

The music leaked with the sound of the water, and I also hummed and sang in my heart: "I haven't had a good feeling yet, the climate with snowflakes blooming."
When we tremble together, we will understand better what tenderness is.

Singing and singing, I suddenly remembered, in fact, this is not what I heard, the first version of red beans.
The first time I heard this song was actually about seven or eight years old, Faye Wong sang it.
Hearing her sing: "But I, sometimes, would rather choose to be nostalgic and not let go" that sticky and soft crying voice, my heart would always tug.
Such a young age.
I don't know the wind and moon, and even love and hate are just a vague concept of age.

Later, when I was seventeen or eighteen years old, I heard "Repayment" with the same melody as Red Bean.

Although it shares the same melody and lyrics as Red Bean, both written by Lin Xi, I still refuse to admit that "Repayment" is the Cantonese version of "Red Bean", and regard them as different songs.

Red Bean's lyrics are as follows:

I haven't felt the snowflakes blooming climate well. We will tremble together and we will understand more about tenderness. I haven't walked through the barren sand dunes holding hands with you. Maybe from now on, I will learn to cherish the longevity of the earth.

Sometimes sometimes I believe that everything has an end, when we get together and leave, sometimes nothing will last forever, but sometimes I would rather choose to be nostalgic and not let go until the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to watch the water flow

I haven't boiled the red beans into lingering wounds for you, and then share them together, I will understand the sorrow of lovesickness. I haven't fully felt the tenderness of the awake kiss. Maybe you are around me before you pursue the freedom of loneliness.

Sometimes sometimes I believe that everything has an end, when we get together and leave, sometimes nothing will last forever, but sometimes I would rather choose to be nostalgic and not let go until the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to watch the water flow

And the lyrics to pay back are as follows:

Never turned your pics from right to left and admired Never lied down and tickled your hair How could it be normal Never heard the sound of your thumb flapping the petals Never really let go So I thought the hug would be long

If it is not paid, the wish will come true If the wish is not paid, the star will not turn a lie and will not wear it, so it is too rare to continue falling in love. After paying it back, I would rather close my eyes and admit that it is nothing after reading the story.

Never waited for your eyes to wake up from a dream Never swam with you How do you know that you will get carried away with joy Never drank ice with you to see the scenery at zero degrees Never climbed a snowy mountain So I thought it would continue to be sunny

If it is not paid, the wish will come true If the wish is not paid, the star will not turn a lie and will not wear it, so it is too rare to continue falling in love. After paying it back, I would rather close my eyes and admit that it is nothing after reading the story.

Lin Xi is good at depicting tragic unrequited love. In these two songs, everything is just an imagination that can't be obtained.
We haven't read albums together, dreamed together, and opened our eyes together.
We have gone through four o'clock together, trembling together in the cold wind, in the spring day I feel your fingers lightly skimming over the flowers.

Some people say that repayment is a private memory, while Hongdou speaks of public lovesickness. "Repayment" has some small stubbornness, while "Red Bean" is full of the humbleness of deep love.

Some people say that if you want to see through it all, and you are willing, why should you still look forward to the desert that you have never traveled and the snowflakes you have never seen?
It is clearly a hope that is still on the list, how can it be repaid?

I feel that what Hongdou wants to express is that I love you, and I know that no matter how hard this love is, I will never give up.
Maybe when I hold on until you run out of sails, then I will win.
You are mine.

What I want to say in repayment is that I love you, and just the fact that I love you is enough to repay your love for me.
The daily life with you that I think about in my heart is enough to fill the regretful vacancy that you can never come to me in your whole life.

I like to repay more, but in real life, I know that I have always been waiting for L with the mood in red beans.

Wait until the scenery is seen through, maybe you will accompany me to watch the water flow.
