This is one of the few rare chinese songs I really like. The vocal melody is really difficult too and he was singing this quality in live. Though the high notes in the last part was kinda strained but he hit the notes fine. I also think the song is worth understanding, Im sure many can relate to parts of it, especially if youre a performer. And here is some English translation I looked up online (with some English grammar corrections lol): Eason Chan - Fau Kwa (Show Off) 陳奕迅 - 浮誇 If people ask then I will talk, but nobody comes I wait and wait but even when I have things to say, I dont get the chance My feelings are like a bottle cap waiting to be opened, yet my mouth is growing moss In a crowd of people, the quieter you are the less they pay attention, you need to make your own scene Like suddenly breaking out into a song, treating any place like an open stage Wearing the flashiest shirt, pretending to be emotional Remember to stick your hand in your pocket when they take pictures You can treat me as a show off, but I only do it because Im really scared If I was like a piece of wood, like a piece of rock, would I be noticed? Its because of the fear of being forgotten that I exaggerate so How to be elegant through my uneasiness? Does the world still praise silence? If Im not explosive enough, how will I become a hot topic? So let me show off, and act as a great entertainer The year that I was eighteen, I stood like an idiot at the school prom At that time I tearfully swore that everyone must take note of me There are too many plain and ordinary roads in this world, which house and village do you live in? In relationships, in work, I have been neglected too much my self-esteem has all but hit rock bottom Attention can cure hunger, and if you havent gotten any then you will know why I have so many flashy moves Making these mistakes so people will look at me, does that count as a sickness? You can treat me as a show off, but I only do it because Im really scared If I was like a piece of wood, like a piece of rock, would I be noticed? Its because of the fear of being forgotten that I exaggerate so How to be elegant through my uneasiness? Does the world still praise silence? If Im not explosive enough, how will I become a hot topic? So let me show off, and act as a great entertainer Not many are lucky, and if youve never been one then you will know why I put in ten times the effort to be one that stands out Can normal people be as controversial as me? You can call me a show off, Im not afraid even if you boo me If there is boredom when Im around, why dont I perform for you? Am I hysterical enough? You can practically water flowers with your tears I only want to surprise you, did I seem non-existent? Raising the stakes, even the veins of anger have surfaced Tell me, do I exist now? Look at me, dont just look at the ceiling anymore Im not your cup of tea but you can still drink it to your hearts content Dont forget someone is making his voice hoarse for you (courtesy of say-it-again.livejournal/41326.html) https://youtube/watch?v=zaWuMdLFvo4
