lol. i know many do not listen to chn songs but hey these 2 songs that i recently heard are really nice... their lyrics meaningful too... no its not jay chow... lol. i dun even understand what he's singing.

these 2 songs are from a drama serial that i mentioned not long ago... dunno whether u guys got the chinese language support pack. but nevertheless here goes...

the title of the show in chn : 第8号当铺

theme song by alex to: 黑色契约

黯淡的招牌 低头 迎面而来 街上的 灵魂
全都 可以买卖 愚蠢的以为 什么自己最爱
那些欲望 我静静的主宰 对魔鬼乞讨
虚荣的骄傲 黑色的契约 像月光下的暗潮
Woh我冰冷地抚摸着你 的悲哀 Woh只是交换 没有爱
漆黑的窗外 说不出的阴霾 墙上的 影子 单纯
已经不在 脸上的表情 残酷 没有期待 狂风掠过
我跟你谁才腐败 对魔鬼乞讨 虚荣的骄傲
黑色的契约 像月光下的暗潮 Woh
我冰冷地抚摸着你的悲哀 Woh 只是交换 没有爱
放弃 继续 都一样 谁主宰 谁会快乐 谁会受伤
全部将 结束在 这个地方 手枪在尊严里 慢慢上膛
孤寂的模样是我最后的印象 Woh我冰冷地抚摸着你
的悲哀 Woh NoNo 只是交换 没有爱
Woh 你冰冷地凝视着我 的悲哀 Woh 只是交换 没有爱

really summarise what the show is about...

the song for its credits at the end of the show by mayday: 而我知道

冰块 还没融化 你在看表 我 笑的尴尬
你说 最近很忙 改天聊吧

那天 我在楼下 想了很久 想 你说的话
你说 爱情很窄 世界很大 (而我们应该长大)

就这样吧 就这样吧
我想我 听懂你 话中的话

而我知道那真爱不一定能白头到老
而我知道有一天你可能就这么走掉
而我知道我知道这一切我全都知道
我就是受不了

而我知道我们曾天真的一起哭和笑
而我知道放开手但不知道怎么忘掉
而我知道你走了以后的每一分一秒
却还是这么难熬

微笑 紧紧咬牙 给你祝福 你 自由飞吧
你说 温室没有 灿烂的花 (你总是很有想法)

就这样吧 就这样吧
我同意 可是我 泪如雨下

oh this song by mayday, its really nice... it leaves room for imagination... u can totally relate to the lyrics whether u are a girl or a guy... but since its mayday who sings it so i interpret as a guy being 'dumped' by a girl... or at least the girl initiated breakup... i like the first stanza...direct translation...
ice cubes have yet to melt, u (refering to the girl) kept looking at your watch, i gave an awkward smile... u said u are busy recently, we'll talk some other time.

i can already imagine the setting... at the cafe, drinks on the table, the girl/guy cant wait to leave the place with awkward atmosphere... and the story goes on...

well, as usual, if u wanna hear the song.. can find me at msn, i can send to u :] its really nice.
