她來聽我的演唱會 (Our Favourite Place) English Ver. - 張學友 Jacky Cheung | Folk Style AI Cover

This is the second song this week in the theme of “An older man traces the bittersweet weight of passing years through the eyes of a younger woman." Even though this song was released "relatively" late in Jacky's peak, it's one of his greatest songs imo. Every time I hear it I find myself tearing up over the storytelling and the emotions portrayed through Jacky's vocals. Even though I think all fans of this song will share this perspective, this song is very personal to me. I've been listening to Jacky almost my entire life, and had his songs by my side through thick and thin. Based on the amount of Jacky songs I have on this channel, you could probably guess he's my favourite singer of all time. I've been to his concert in 3 different decades in my life, and reflecting on how much my life has changed in these decades makes this song hit extra hard. At first, I didn't know if it was actually possible to adapt this song to English. I felt this one and David Tao's 二十二 have a special storytelling quality that is extra hard to interpret from the original Chinese. However, after having done 二十二, it gave me the confidence to tackle 她來聽我的演唱會. I hope I did the song justice. Btw, the changes to the woman's age are intentional. I tweaked it a bit in order to make the lyrics flow better. Also, I felt "She came to my concert..." wasn't a very good title, so I improvised there as well. _______ Based on 她來聽我的演唱會 Originally performed by: 張學友 (Jacky Cheung) Composed by: 黃明洲 (Huang Mingzhou) Chinese lyrics: 梁文福 (Liang Wenfu) English lyrics: glossybaby Our Favourite Place She came to the concert to hear me play She’s 17, her first love, on her very first date The boy lines up all night, camped out in the rain Just to buy two tickets, spent a month of his pay My songs light up her eyes Make her smile and make her cry Such a pure romance, ends with a sad goodbye She watches as the train slowly pulls away The tearful people having their last embrace Hey, My song is her embrace She came to the concert to hear me sing At 23, young love is a beautiful thing Her boyfriend gives her a rose, with another girl’s name Crying to the music, she just lets her phone ring My songs light up her eyes Make her smile and make her cry When adults break up they take it all in stride At karaoke she sings the night away My song becomes an aching serenade Hey, Her aching serenade My songs light up her eyes Make her smile and make her cry Now at 35, true love’s a cherished prize A younger woman tells her to move aside She says why don’t we let the man decide Hey, I guess he chose a side My songs light up her eyes Make her smile and make her cry She works so damn hard, just trying not to look so tired We sing of love like it’s a certainty She’s singing as the tears roll down her cheeks Hey, the tears roll down her cheeks She came to the concert to hear me play At 41, singing along, she’s so full of grace A little girl asks why there’s tears on her face The man next to her, already sleeping away So we sing together In our favorite place #張學友 #她來聽我的演唱會 #jackycheung #ourfavouriteplace #shecametomyconcert #Mandopop #Cantopop #ClassicPop #AsianBallad #FolkCover #VintageVibes #Ballad #MusicCover #aicover #英文翻唱 #英语版 #英语改编版
