Song: 天梯 (Ladder to Heaven)


Lyrics:
如可 找個荒島
向未來避開生活中那些苦惱
如冬天欠電爐 雙手擁抱 可跟天對賭

無論有幾高 就如絕路
隔絕塵俗只想要跟你可終老
來跨出那地圖 不需好報 都只想你好
能共你 沿途來爬天梯 不用忌諱
中傷流言全悍衛
留住你 旁人如何 話過不可一世
問我亦無愧 有你可 失去我一切

*幾多對 持續愛到幾多歲
當生命 仍能為你豁出去 (不轟烈 如何做世界之最)
千夫所指裡 誰理登不登對
仍挽手歷盡在世間興衰
幾多對 能悟到幾多精髓
能撐 下去 竭力也要為愛盡瘁
抱緊一生未覺累

前方 仍然大霧
到懸崖或海邊也許永不知道
能相擁到白頭 一起偕老 不跟天鬥高

前面有幾高 一片荒土
每步隨著攀登叫雙手都粗糙
從崎嶇這路途 開墾給你 可走得更好

能共你 沿途來爬天梯 
黑夜亦亮麗 於山頭同盟洪海中發誓
留住你 旁人如何 話過不可一世
問我亦無愧 有你可以 拆破這天際
Repeat*
握著手 而幸福包圍泥牆簡陋
牽著走 懷著勇氣至愛得永久
Repeat*
幾多對 持續愛到幾多歲 當生命 仍能為你豁出去……

If, I could find a desert island
to live in, I could dodge all the troubles in life
In the winter even if we lacked an electric heater, in each other's arms we could resist the nature

Regardless of how hard it maybe, that it seems like we are in a dead end
I could isolate myself from the rest of the world just to be with you 'til the end of our lives
Come on, let's go beyond the boundaries of this map. I do not ask for any reward aside from your well-being

I could climb this ladder to heaven with you all along, you don't have to fear
From all the slanders and rumours I will definitely protect you
I will stay by your side no matter how they foretell that our love couldn't last forever
I have a clear conscience: with you I can abandon my everything

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
When I can sacrifice even my life for you
How would I care about all their reprehension or whether they think we match each other
We would continue to hold hands despite all the changes in the world
How many of them may apprehend how much of the meaning of true love?
If I could endure, even exhausting the very last bit of my life I would devote myself entirely for our love
I wouldn't feel strength-depleted to hold you forever in my arms

The road ahead is still heavily misty
Perhaps we wouldn't know if we are heading to the cliff or the seaside
If I could hold on to you until our hairs grew white, I have no intention to go against the gods

How tall is the mountain before us? It's all barrens around us
As we climb, every step we take makes our hands rougher
Paving a path from this rugged route so that it may be easier for you to travel

I could climb this ladder to heaven with you all along, and so even the dark sky at night looks beautiful to me
We pledged to each other on the mountain top,amidst the raging waters
I will stay by your side no matter how they foretell that our love couldn't be forever
I have a clear conscience: to be with you I could subvert this world

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
When I can sacrifice even my life for you
How would I care about all their reprehension or whether they agree we match each other
We would continue to hold hands despite all the changes in the world
How many of them may apprehend how much of the meaning of true love?
If I could endure, even exhausting the very last bit of my life I would devote myself entirely for our love
I wouldn't feel strength-depleted to have you held tightly in my arms forever

Holding hands, we are surrounded by happiness though the mud-made walls around us are crude
walking with hands held tight, only with this courage may our love perpetuate

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
If we don't love boldly enough, how could we top the world?
Despite all their reprehension, and regardless whether they think we match each other
We would continue to hold hands despite all the changes in the world
How many of them may apprehend how much of the meaning of true love?
If I could endure, even exhausting the very last bit of my life I would devote myself entirely for our love
I wouldn't feel strength-depleted to hold you forever in my arms tightly

How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?
When I can sacrifice even my life for you...

Thoughts: spending my time on youtube instead of doing my french projects Q.Q *sigh*

So yah...while I was surfing on youtube, I came across this beautiful song ;) Coincidentally, this song by C AllStar is dedicated to the story of Chongqing's Love Ladder, which is also the story behind upcoming tvb series, The Last Steep Aliment.

A very touching and inspiring song of a true love story. Hmm.."How many of them may keep in love until as old as they may be?" is part of the chorus. What do you guys think about this line? It reminded me of an old lady I met at a seniors home. She loved to talk and told me alot about her late husband...and how she really misses him. Then she told me how her daughter is getting married for the third time..and how she felt that relationships are taken too lightly nowadays. True or not, I guess that will depend on the individual couple.

Beside the beautiful lyrics, I would also applause for the music video! On a whole, it talks about different hardships couples have to endure because they fear society's view on them. In Chongqing's Love Ladder, the couple were deeply in love, but yet they were not accepted in society....that is why they eloped to the mountains. What they dealt with is no different from what some people deals with today (an example would be homosexuals)....trying to gain acceptance from society. From where I live, everybody is pretty open-minded about it...but unfortunately, disapproval with homosexuals still continues on in different places. Why does it matter what your sexual orientation may be? Everybody have the right to love whoever they choose to....I like this video alot because it is inclusive to everybody.
