Rascal

Though the song name may sugggest that it could be a song full with vulgarity by LMF or a hip-hop number by Edison Chen, it is not.

It's by Ronald Cheng, in his latest Cantonese album "Before After".
The lyric (in Chinese) is very meaningful. Trying my very best to translate it literally and yet maintaining the meaning.
Below is the paraphrase version in English:


i frequently get drunk, craving for freedom
always doing wrong and love to lie, but will still feel guilt
met a wrong group of friends, learnt to be "kacang lupakan kulit"
and am indebted to a lot of women

fear of marriage because will only be a 3-minute vow,
once said will stop smoking but just for the sake of saying,
dreams and ambitions has long been neglected, feeling bored at work
not knowing how to plan since young

but still you love me this useless man
wrong-doing you will still tolerate
it's long been known that we're not meant to be together,
but still you waited willingly

why would you still love me, this kind of rascal like me
to say you are stupid or only kind-hearted
everyone around condemning, with all the bad saying
but you will never seem to mind

why would you want to be with me, this kind of rascal
i have been a failure for the greater half of my life
but you never change your heart and work on with me happily
i could not bring myself to misbehave anymore

rootless flowers floating aimlessly
only you will treasure me and be willing to do anything
our love story written over a lengthy cloth, marking it down at this very moment
would like to spend forever with you.


For those who are into Chinese pop like me, it's a hit especially in karaoke. You should download this song or I can mail it to you.
