My Way

Thoughts on Lyrics

This song was written completely by Hins Cheung/張敬軒 himself, from lyrics to melody to arrangement. It was obviously dedicated to his parents. The message for his parents was that he would find his own way in life, and he would be strong and pay no attention to the skeptics no matter what they (the skeptics) say. He also advised them to let him fall and get back up on his own. In overall, the lyrics were straightforward, but that is just how we should be with our loved ones. Straightforward.

Thoughts on Melody

The arrangement was very relaxing, and easy to follow along. The bicycle bells and classroom noises in the middle of the song were a nice touch. Listeners will most likely reminisce about their childhood and think about their parents.

My Way

Singer: 張敬軒 (Hins Cheung)
Composer: 張敬軒
Lyricist: 張敬軒

一直在醞釀 一直在盼望
爸爸和媽媽 唯一的理想
二月第—天 一九八一年
我第一次對他們眨了眨眼

They had been preparing for. They had been anticipating.
Dad and mom’s only dream.
First day in February of 1981.
I blinked to them for the very first time.

等待快點過去多少個明天
希望這寶貝快快長大一點一點
身體要健康所有的事情都如所願
BABY 長大以後就是小軒

Waiting for many tomorrows to pass by.
Hoping this baby growing up quickly a little by little.
Healthy and all his wishes come true.
This baby grew up to be Little Hins (Cheung).

I WILL FIND MY WAY
I WANT A DIFFERENT WAY
AFTER THE WIND AND RAIN
THERE'LL BE A BRAND NEW DAY
小時候受傷有人心疼失落有人安慰
現在遇到困難自己就要學會面對

In my childhood, there was someone to care for me when I was hurt, comfort me when I was down.
Now when I encounter any difficulties, I should learn to face it on my own.

#I WILL FIND MY WAY
I WANT A DIFFERENT WAY
NOTHING TO STOP ME NOW
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
困難要用我的堅強和努力勇敢面對
現在用心去追 感覺就對
I'LL FIND MY WAY

I will use my own strength and persistence to face the difficulties courageously.
If I diligently pursue (my way) now, the feel will be right.

一直就這樣 找我的方向
不理會別人 奇怪的眼光
直到有一天 我忽然發現
夢想已經在實現

Just like this all the time, looking for my way.
Ignoring others’ weird looks at me.
Until one day I inadvertently realize.
My dream has come true.

等待快點過去多少個明天
看著自己已經慢慢長大一點一點
我的生活應該讓我自己學會掌握
相信自己 不怕風雨再多

Waiting for many tomorrows to pass by.
I see myself growing up quickly a little by little.
You should let me learn to take control of my own life.
I believe in myself, not fearing any wind and rain.

I WILL, I WILL FIND MY WAY
I'LL FIND MY WAY
