Like Water (cover) 浮生若水 |
This is the theme song of TVB series "Taichi", originally sung by Raymond Lam, one of the main cast. Raymond has come a long way from a flat nose to a perfect nose... ahem, I mean, from an upcoming actor to a major heartthrob. However one may view it, I would say he is actually a good singer.
The lyrics, masterfully written by lyricist Linxi, are seeped in Chinese Dao (Tao) philosophy. I can translate the rough meaning, but I'm afraid the eloquence and elegance are lost. Too bad la!

English Translation:
Though against current, do not fear I only need to turn my hands to ride the waves The biggest waves will eventually break Why not tease the water like a light boat If my love has drifted to the other bank My heart shall not be knocked if I lay it down lightly For who do I tremble? Release if I cannot defend Unite and depart, do not force against the current * Nothing higher than water, light or heavy flows along Nothing softer than water, churning away my heart pain Nothing more accommodating, pressure turns into the wind The river eventually melts a rock, so shall hatred dissolve Do not compete, and my bearing will be unbeatable Do not obsess, and I shall have no fixed enemies If I cannot steady, then steer my force Sink or float, turn and let the shadow fade as fizzle * Nothing better than water, flowing back and pushing forth Nothing softer than water, never to be controlled Nothing more accommodating than water, hills and banks away Until the rock disappears, only the sky remains |
