Laurel Hero

Really sorry I can't give my blog a new skin cos I wanna a new beginning for DT here as well. But I may try again so dun worry if I close down the blog again for a few days. As penance I have translated David's Olympic song 桂冠英雄 tada ^__^
Change the title to singular as it should be obvious from the lyrics Liu Xiang is the inspiration for his song. But this song is not just for the Olympics. Very encouraging with lots of raw energy. Now I have Black Tangerine to lift my depression & Laurel Hero for the strength to carry on. Not sure who wrote the lyrics but DT should have a big input cos the song carries his favorite hallmark of love, unity & pursuit of dream. Also he is fond of mentioning 新的世界 which I translated as 'brave new world'. For sure David has read George Orwell's defining novel ^__^ Actually the song is probably also talking abt himself & his lonely pursuit for excellence. I love the last few words - 以我为傲. David, we ARE proud of you for always. You will always have my smiles & embraces *__*

桂冠英雄 / Laurel Hero
Composed & sang by David Tao

The sky is high
My heart beating fast
All the noise fade away
I can hear no more
Raise my head
Pride will not allow me to retreat
Nor lose courage for this one second
Loneliness and exhaustion
Only I can understand
Unlimited pursuit is my only target
(Chorus)
I am born to love
I live for love
Because of a dream
I will never concede defeat
For love I am arrogant
For love I am humble
Love my country my home
And the people I love
Give you the laurel crown
Give you glory and honor
I know a hero's journey is endless
I know what you want
I know what I want
Brave new world

Welcome the wind
Flag waving intensely
The brave moment is upon us soon
One heart, thousands of hearts
Together cheering for this one second
Pain and stress no longer exist
They are not important
Uniting everyone's hearts
Are passion and pride
(Chorus)
I am born to love
I live for love
Because of a dream
I will never concede defeat
For love I am arrogant
For love I am humble
Love my country my home
And the people I love
Give you the laurel crown
Give you glory and honor
I know a hero's journey is endless
I know what you want
I know what I want
Brave new world

I am born to love
I live for love
Because of a dream
I will never concede defeat
For love I am arrogant
For love I am humble
Love my country my home
And the people I love
Give you the laurel crown
Give you glory and honor
I want to give you my all
Finally I did it
I want your smiles
I want your embraces
I want you to be proud of me
I want you to be proud of me
