Mariah Carey - My All

Another interesting song i've found in youtube. Once in a while, have you ever have the urge to look for the songs or melody that you heard before long time ago? "My All" is sung by Mariah Carey, song is quite popular around 90". However not many people can sing it as of the high notes.

Below video are from the concert she staged in Tokyo, Japan (1998). Appreciation for the uploader.


Lyrics
I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of your song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

Baby can you feel me
Imagining I'm looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you're so far
Like a distant star
I'm wishing on tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of your song
I'd give my all for your love tonight

I'd give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of your song
I'd give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love
Tonight

Zhi Shao Hai You Ni (At Least I Still Have You)

Another interesting song that keep play in my head. The song was sung by Sandy Lam. I've remember i listened to this song sometime when i'm in my freshman's years. While at that time i didn't quite understand the song lyric, but the tunes are really soothing.

Anyway today on the way back home, it was playing on the radio.Sometime when listened to the lyrics, i would wondering whether the song is about a person willingness to sacrifice for love and be together with the love ones, of its simply about infatuation. Anyway it doesn't really matter.




Zhi Shao Hai You Ni (Lyric)
Wo pa lai bu ji Wo yao bao zhe ni
Zhi dao gan jue ni de zhou wen you le sui yue de hen ji
Zhi dao ken ding ni shi zhen de Zhi dao shi qu li qi
Wei le ni Wo yuan yi

Dong ye bu neng dong Ye yao kan zhe ni
Zhi dao gan jue ni de fa xian You le bai xue de hen ji
Zhi dao shi xian bian de mo hu Zhi dao bu neng hu xi
Rang wo men Xing ying bu li

Ru guo Quan shi jie wo ye ke yi fang qi
Zhi shao hai you ni Zhi deo wo qu zhen xi
Er ni zai zhe li Jiu shi sheng ming de qi ji
Ye xu Quan shi jie wo ye ke yi wang ji
Jiu shi bu yuan yi Shi qu ni de xiao xi
Ni zhang xin de zhi Wo zong ji de zai na li

Wo pa lai bu ji Wo yao bao zhe ni
Zhi dao gan jue ni de fa xian You le bai xue de hen ji
Zhi dao shi xian bian de mo hu Zhi dao bu neng hu xi
Rang wo men Xing ying bu li

Wo men hao bu rong yi Wo men shen bu you ji
Wo pa shi jian tai kuai Bu gou jiang ni kan zi xi
Wo pa shi jian tai man Ri ye dan xin shi qu ni
Hen bu de yi ye zhi jian bai tou Yong bu fen li

At Least I Still Have You (translation)

I’m afraid there’s not enough time, I want to hold you
Until your wrinkles have traces of the years
Until I’m sure you’re real, until I lose my strength
For you, I’m willing

Even if I can’t move, I want to look at you
Until your hair has traces of white snow
Until my vision becomes blurred, until I can’t breathe
Let us be as inseparable as body and shadow

Supposing I could let go of the whole world
At least I still have you, deserving me to cherish you
And having you here is a miracle of life
Perhaps I could forget the whole world
I’m just not willing to lose your news
The mole in your palm, I always remember it’s there

I’m afraid there’s not enough time, I want to hold you
Until your hair has traces of white snow
Until my vision becomes blurred, until I can’t breathe
Let us be as inseparable as body and shadow

It’s not easy for us, our bodies are not free
I’m afraid time is too fast, I can’t see you clearly
I’m afraid time is too slow, I worry day and night that I’ll lose you
Wishing that we’ll grow old in one night, and never be apart

En Esta Tarde Gris (In this gray afternoon)

Geraldine Rojas and Javier Rodriguez dancing to the tunes of "En esta tarde gris".

"En esta tarde gris", was written by Jose Maria Contursi in 1942 for Gricel Viganó, a young lady from Capilla del Señor, a small country town in Córdoba whom he met when visited Córdoba's mountains to care for his poor health. They have difficult relationship as they lived in different cities and both were married.

While lyric alludes to this encounter, departure and passionate remembrance. "I madly looked for you", "I was never able to meet you again..." was sad and tragic story. However, life did not imitate art as Contursi and Gricel Viganó's affair had a happy ending.

They met again and got married in 1967, 25 years after the original lyric was written. The composer of this tango is Mariano Mores, one the greatest in tango history.

The music was composed by the great Marino Mores
