明天会更好 (A Better Tomorrow)

I played the mp3 songs from the 80's last weekend and I came across this Chinese song 明天会更好 (A Better Tomorrow) . That was one fantastic song which I haven't listen to for ages . 明天会更好 was one of the popular songs in the 80's, sang by a group of 60 singers (from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore) in 1985. This song was produced in the same year as "We Are The World".

The first time I got to know about this song was during my primary school days, in 1985. Even though that was more than 2 decades ago, I can still remember the song lyrics till today. How time flies... Come to think about it, in 1985, Pink Cotton was only a 2 year old naughty little girl (Errr.. she is still naughty even up to today, oops... and still curi makan ice cream even though she hasn't recovered fully from her cough, hahaha ) and Ah Ben was even better - not yet existed in this beautiful world :P



Click the play button if you wanna bring back the good old memories :)

明天会更好

轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵 慢慢张开你的眼睛
看看忙碌的世界 是否依然孤独的转个不停
春风不解风情 吹动少年的心
让昨日脸上的泪痕 随记忆风干了

抬头寻找天空的翅膀 候鸟出现它的影迹
带来远处的饥荒 无情的战火依然存在的消息
玉山白雪飘零 燃烧少年的心
使真情溶化成音符 倾诉遥远的祝福

唱出你的热情 伸出你的双手
让我拥抱着你的梦
让我拥有你真心的面孔
让我们的笑容 充满着青春的骄傲
为明天献出虔诚的祈祷
(让我们期待着明天会更好)

谁能不顾自己的家园 抛开记忆中的童年
谁能忍心看那昨日的忧愁 带走我们的笑容
青春不解红尘 胭脂沾染了灰
让久违不见的泪水 滋润了你的面容

轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵 慢慢张开你的眼睛
看看忙碌的世界 是否依然孤独的转个不停
日出唤醒清晨 大地光彩重生
让和风拂出的音响 谱成生命的乐章

Hhahaa, I’m older than Jellyfish (u remember that, right? He is my KSL)
But you are not *that* young either :P

Chen said...

ah nel,
u can play the song later when u balik rumah :)

I know the movie 'Papa,can u hear me sing', that’s a very hit classical sad movie. I watched that movie before.

The Chinese name for the movie is “ta chuo cher” – which means "sit on the wrong car".

Hahaha, I know how old are u liao, since u mentioned your mummy tengah honeymoon that time. That movie was released in 1983.

I planned to post up the song and a short review for that movie too, might be end of this week or sometime next week. I love the song too..

misti,
ah nel is a young chap but he likes to “pretend” that he is old, kekkee.. I still remember him telling me he is 52 years old :P

sengkor,
If I didn’t remember wrongly, the song was not for fund relief for the famine in Ethiopia or Africa.

ah nel said...

misti :tenk q for making me felt young...lol*i'm 52 ledi*

docter :rumah no pc lar but tonite might go cyber... ;)

Songs sometimes bring you back to the era once you always listen to them. There are a few songs which I always listened when I was in form 3... then after a long time, now when I listen, I really felt as if I was being brought back to the form 3 days.. amazing how our brain works!

mistipurple said...

Talking about McCurry reminds me of the incident that occured lately, whereby a restaurant by the name McCurry Restaurant (KL) in Jalan Ipoh was ordered to cease using the name ‘McCurry’ by the High Court.
