Forever Saranghae

A mix of my sudden interest for Korean culture (Goong) and my usual randomness. xDD It's supposed to have an uptempo beat, but the lyrics make me think otherwise.

I really love the computer. It's so easy to write songs with it. Due to my absolute laziness however, there will be no hanyupinyin version. But for once the english title has no relation whatsoever with the chinese title. xDD

I have officially succeded in not writing the word "Love" in my song (unless you count Saranghae - Korean)! *clap clap*

FYI: Just incase anyone doesn't know, "Saranghae" means "I love you".

Forever Saranghae

As a kid Whenever I feel like crying
I’ll imagine you’ll come and save me
A handsome knight riding on your white stallion

Now that I’ve grown up It doesn’t really matter
Yet you appear in my dreams today
You shielded me from the rain and my loneliness

In my heart You are that special you
Just like how I imagined
I dried my tears
And I forgot all my worries
Because of your protection

In my heart You are that perfect you
As sincere as I imagined
You light up my life
I’m the luckiest girl in the world
With your care and concern

Wo~ The one in my heart
Forever Saranghae

With or without you

Another piece of work to share with....errr, myself. xDD

Just incase anyone else is reading it, no sticky paws please. :)

The initials of this song is WOW-Y. XDD It really doesn't suit the mood...hahas. xD

With or without you

I look at the stars shining dimly in the night sky
And I ask myself how it is possible to act strong
But I know No matter how hard we try
Nothing will ever be the same again
So I pretend to be someone I’m not

With or without you It’s all the same
The world’s still moving but it’s suddenly so apparent

With or without you I feel no pain
Will the emptiness in my heart cease to remain

Drying the tears with the back of my hand
I realise how different it feels without you by my side
And I understand No matter how much I gain
I will forever lose the warmth of your shoulder
Even so I choose to let go

With or without you There’ll still be rain
My coloured umbrella suddenly seems so grey

With or without you Nothing will change
I hear your voice; is it my hallucination

The fact remains that we are both
So equally stubborn and unwilling to give way
Yet I know No matter how far we hide
We still miss each other dearly
Must we continue to deceive ourselves

With or without you It’s not the same
After you left I’ve never smiled from the heart

With or without you Love’s not a game
I was destined to be part of your everyday from the day we met

I turned back and my eyes met yours
Time stopped at that moment

hanyupinyin version coming soon.

Stay In My Heart

Stay In My Heart © 2006 Angela

Chinese Version



English Version

I don’t remember how many grasslands I’ve crossed
Just to be by your side
It’s only when I reach my destination that I realize
This shouldn’t be my destination

I didn't care how many grasslands I have to cross
Just to be near you
It’s only when I saw you that I realized
You cannot be my destiny

I don’t want to resign to fate
I don’t want to just be able to look at you
From a distance

Can I think of you
I often ask myself this question
Even when I think I’ve got the answer
I still have my doubts

I shouldn’t be thinking of you
The reason why I’m so undecided
Yet you continue to stay in my heart
Refusing to give up even when met with difficulties

I don’t remember how many clouds I’ve stepped on
Just to be part of your fantasy
It’s only when I met you that I realized
We shouldn’t have met

I didn’t care how many skies act as barriers
I just want to be part of your every day
It’s only after meeting you that I realized
I cannot be your destiny

Unwillingly I resign to fate
I accepted that I could only be able to look at you
From a distance

Can I love you
I know it’s selfish for me to ask this question
That’s why even when I think I’ve got the answer
I still have my doubts

I shouldn’t be in love with you
The reason why I’m so undecided
Yet you continue to stay in my heart
Staying on no matter what happens

The Pain of Remorse

This is a song I wrote for fun (I'm no professional, really!). This is the 4th presentable and complete song I've wrote. Enjoy!

This is a simple yet emotional song expressing how one feels after the person she used to neglect and take for granted leaves her for good. She never treasured his love, and it's too late before she realises he's gone.

This is my first song with an extra verse. I used to have only 2 choruses and 2 verses, so it's pretty much a breakthrough. And though I challenged myself to write a love song without the word "love" (I thought I succeeded at first), I realised I added it in without realising. xD And I'm not going to change it because it spoils the whole song, so here it is.

This is also the first time I'm composing without any melody. Usually I think of a melody and then I fit the words in, but this time I tried something different. Hope it works! :)

English Version

As the sun goes down
I pen my thoughts in my diary
Turning to the previous page
I wish it had never happened

My tears fill the page
I used to blame you for spoiling me
It’s only after you left me
I realised I can blame only myself for the emptiness in my heart

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I used to neglect you
Till you gave up loving me
And I could only become part of your memory

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I cannot do anything to make you stay
I couldn’t find the courage to say I’m sorry
And you lost the reason for loving me

I cry to myself It’s all too late
I will never get another chance to say
You’re My Everything

I listen to sorrowful ballads
And in my heart I compose one myself
How I wish you can get hear it
And understand the reason for my heartbreak

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I used to neglect you
Till you gave up loving me
And I could only become part of your memory

I’m starting to feel the pain of remorse
I cannot do anything to make you stay
I couldn’t find the courage to say I’m sorry
And you lost the reason for loving me

And I realised it’s too late to bring love back
