[Music] Train Station -- Danny Summer & Julie Su


Danny Summer




Julie Su



1. Danny Summer is considered the Father of Hong Kong's rock and roll.

Danny Summer began his music career in the late 1970s.

Although he has a very solid and loyal followings, Danny Summer has never reached the top of Hong Kong's music scene.

Danny Summer is still active as a musician.

The latest music of his that I have listened to is the 2-CDs "oM" Live 2007 - still interesting and creative music.


2. Train Station ("車站") is the theme song for the 1986's Hong Kong movie The Millionaires Express.

The 1980s saw Hong Kong's movie and music industry at their peaks.

When this song was recorded, both Danny Summer and Julie Su were also at the peak of their careers.

Train Station was one of the nominees for Best Song for Hong Kong Film Awards in 1987.


3. This music video might be the original from the TV broadcast in Hong Kong in 1986:

The persons in the video are Danny Summer and Julie Su.

 
The train station in the video is in Sha Tin District, New Territories, Hong Kong.

5. Danny Summer and Julie Su in concert:

A slower version of the song but it also works.


6. Whoever made this music video must have been touched by this song:

Just one photograph yet it speaks so much.

The audio is of very good quality also.

If I have interpreted the uploader correctly, the audio is from Danny Summer's 2000 album OM 2 ("諳 2")

I like this YouTube version very much.

Really nice.


7. Another good quality audio:

But the photo is just a filler.


8. A partial cover by Eason Chan and Bondy Chiu ("趙學而") in 2005:

The words "學而" are from Confucius’s Analects.

Her parents must have high hopes for her when they gave her this name; but unusual as a female's name.


9. The Lyrics in Traditional Chinese:


車站 -- 夏韶聲 & 蘇芮

女︰望著無盡鐵路怎會不孤單
你再踏上風沙要轉幾多彎
站在沉默眺望列車的消失
剩下是夜和人和一聲聲心裡概歎

男︰或是逃避昨日積壓的重擔
或是為了他朝誓要闖一番
倦極仍在眺望未知的空間
路或儘是循環仍傾出一生再去探

*合︰悠悠長途重重山風急鐵路冷
離愁和回憶加起千百擔
何時何年才能夠風中再遇妳
挽手傾談吻乾偷泣的眼

女︰站後仍是有站仿似很簡單
不知幾多悲歡盛滿每一班
男︰實在人造鐵路至縮短空間
或是盡量延長人生中的千串概歎

Repeat *

女︰要再經多少個站你方可再復還
如重逢是否感情仍未淡
男︰要再經多少個站我方可以淡忘
誰人曾停留在臂彎


Repeat *


合︰悠悠長途重重山風急鐵路冷
離愁和回憶加起千百擔
何時何年才能夠風中再遇妳
再等幾多班方能等到妳
再轉幾多彎方能不想妳


10. The Lyrics in Simplified Chinese:


车站 -- 夏韶声 & 苏芮

女︰望着无尽铁路怎会不孤单
你再踏上风沙要转几多弯
站在沉默眺望列车的消失
剩下是夜和人和一声声心里概叹

男︰或是逃避昨日积压的重担
或是为了他朝誓要闯一番
倦极仍在眺望未知的空间
路或尽是循环仍倾出一生再去探

*合︰悠悠长途重重山风急铁路冷
离愁和回忆加起千百担
何时何年才能够风中再遇妳
挽手倾谈吻干偷泣的眼

女︰站后仍是有站仿似很简单
不知几多悲欢盛满每一班
男︰实在人造铁路至缩短空间
或是尽量延长人生中的千串概叹

Repeat *

女︰要再经多少个站你方可再复还
如重逢是否感情仍未淡
男︰要再经多少个站我方可以淡忘
谁人曾停留在臂弯

Repeat *


合︰悠悠长途重重山风急铁路冷
离愁和回忆加起千百担
何时何年才能够风中再遇妳
再等几多班方能等到妳
再转几多弯方能不想妳
