Beyond: 海闊天空 with romanization & English translation

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2024
  • Fulfilling a much requested song by many viewers, this video is for Beyond's 海闊天空 ("Boundless Sea, Vast Sky"). The anthem of Cantonese rock, Hong Kong's protests, and other campaigns, this song is one of Beyond's signature songs.
    With a song this iconic it was hard to choose a fitting background as there were many choices and though undoubted some viewers may disagree with or confused by my choice of the background image, I chose it with reasons.
    In additional to the Yale romanization I have translated the song to English.
    All video animations, lyrics translation and the overall presentation were done by me. Static background image was obtained from Google Images search.
    This is one of my music videos so be sure to check out my other videos and subscribe to be informed of future updates.
    Please leave your comments, suggestions, or any requests you may have. Thank you!

      The snow was whizzing by. It had a velocity like whipping & shooting & gale to pelt travelers.
      Forgive me for this life's untamed longing for love of freedom.
      To desert one's (petty) desires. Anyone can.

      You grew up listening to canto rock but didn't know what they mean? Did you never ask? Also no offense intended but any good friend or family member would have translated, not as good probably I personally thought it was giving up one's dreams instead of ideals, only realized dreams would probably be 'yun mong' not 'lei seung' 😂

      ​@@Kaynerd_Musings i also grew up listening to classic cantonese and mandarin songs, but no one really did translate it for me because no one in my family speaks either cantonese or mandarin 😅. i've been finally discovering the translations for these songs, i guess we all just loved the "feels" back then.

    I don’t care what they say but his death was definitely some type of cover up. His music was too pure for the music industry. They had to find a way to get rid of him. He even mentions in his songs that he would eventually tumble and fall and look what happened on June 24th 1993 in Japan the year I was born. I don’t think his death was a coincidence.

      Sorry I didn't see your message until now. I don't mean to offend any Beyond's fans by stating that the song was written for political reason. I was just simply stating that the song has been used in campaigns - both charitable ones to raise awareness and also sung by the people during some HK protests.
