Chinese and English lyrics from Faye Wong’s “Faye’s Decadent Music”

Eyes On Me -- It has nothing to do with the album, but since folks come to this page looking for it, I hate to disappoint.

Who's Faye Wong?

• An actress in Wong Kar-Wei's Chungking Express-- the fast food assistant in the second part who falls in love, in an obsessive teenage way, with a cop. The Chicago Tribune critic got it exactly right: Faye Wong is one of those actresses the camera loves. You can't keep your eyes off her.
• One hell of a cutie.
• One of Hong Kong's top pop singers. Born in Běijīng, she sings in both Mandarin and Cantonese. (She looks young, but she's 27.) The Cocteau Twins contributed two songs and a good deal of inspiration to one of her latest albums, Fúzào (Impetuous), on which you can hear, of all things, Chinese scat-singing.
• The singer of the theme song in Final Fantasy VIII.

What is this album?

Although it's not hard to find Faye tribute pages, it's not so easy to find her lyrics translated into English, so I've tried to translate a couple songs from her 1995 Mandarin album 菲蘼蘼之音 Fēi mǐmǐ zhīyīn (Faye's Decadent Music-- the name mocks official condemnations of pop music). Dexter Tay has also kindly contributed a few more translations, and Mufei Li (a.k.a. Ranskaldan) has corrected many of my errors.

The album is a tribute to Teresa Teng (邓丽君 Déng Lìjūn), one of the most popular of Taiwanese pop stars over the last 20 years (successful in Japan and mainland China as well), until her sudden death in 1995.

I've heard some of these songs in both Teresa's and Faye's versions, and I definitely prefer Faye's. In American terms Faye sings light rock, while Teresa's songs are light pop, slower, and heavy on the schmaltz. I also like Faye's voice better. Teresa has more of a trained voice, vibrato and all. Faye's voice sounds natural, unforced.

How do you score Faye albums?

Head over to Chinatown. Have some dim sum, or maybe some Szechwan chicken. Find a store that sells CDs and ask for albums by 王菲 Wáng Fēi. Or if it’s a Cantonese shop, Wong⁴ Fei¹.

(Wáng means ‘king’, by the way. Fēi means ‘luxuriant, fragrant’; it just happens to have a neat English homophone.)

The translation

In my translations I'm somewhat handicapped by a) cheap dictionaries and b) not actually, when it comes right down to it, knowing Chinese.

I've included the original Mandarin lyrics, so that you can a) supply your own corrections, and b) sing along.

(They’re in simplified characters, mostly for myself, as my brain has a hard enough time holding one set of characters rather than two.)

Borrowings

I'm happy when people link to my page. If you put the lyrics on your own page, please give credit, or provide a link. It takes work to translate and that work shouldn't be taken without credit (as some people have done). (In that spirit, I’m grateful to spcnet.tv for the raw Chinese text. Saves an enormous amount of lookups and typing!)
