My iPod shuffled to this song and despite it being a few years old, the lyrics really struck a chord for me for the very first time. I’ve always admired the lyricist for his ability to combine relevant cultural references to classic Chinese analogies.
The song is about love on the surface, but it’s also about [...]

Fatherhood is not simple 父親不簡單

Just like the way you’ve watched us grown
We’ve been doing the same with you
To watch how to cherish
To watch how to respect
Taking you as an example
And learn what is sacrifice
And what is love
But greatness is easy to write,
hard to comprehend
That’s why in all these years
I’ve been admiring
I’ve been loving
Fatherhood, is not simple at all
就如你看著我們成長
我們亦同樣地看著你們
看著怎樣珍惜
看著怎樣待人
就以你來做榜樣
學懂怎樣去犧牲
懂得怎樣去愛
但是,「偉大」兩字寫著易，
學卻難
所以這些年來
一直也在仰慕
一直也在愛著
父親，真不簡單。
