I've composed a song few months ago. I got the inspirations from one of the sleepless nights I had. Hmm.. that was during A2 examinations, when the stress level was intensely HIGH.
It's pretty torturing when you can't sleep the whole night. But it's also because of that night, that gave me the inspirations to write this particular song.
I'm SORRY to people who can't comprehend or read in mandarin, because I've composed a mandarin song, a pretty random song. It's simple and full of imaginations, you might think that is a bit childish :P
The scenario of this song is when you're sitting alone on a swing in the playground, you start to reminisce about your past when you were still a kid. And you wish to fulfil your dreams and achieve your goals in life with your childhood friend/s or it can be someone whom you like since young, just depends on how you look at it :).
The title of this song "越荡越高" means the more you swing, the higher you are.
So, this is my very 1st experience, trying to compose a song and the music, I didn't play the background music , I only sang the song :p I know there are still a lot more to learn, and improvements to be made.
My voice didn't sound that good due to sore throat. Anyway, I'm just a beginner!! Don't expect too much from me... hahaha :D
It would be good to give me some comments or tell me my mistakes. So that I can IMPROVE !!!!!
If you can read in mandarin, below is the lyrics of this song.
越荡越高 the more you swing , the higher you're
独自一个人 I was alone
坐在秋千上 sitting on the swing
回想美好童年的时光 reminisce about the wonderful moments we once had
握紧着绳索 holding tight to the rope
我不舍放开 I don't want to release
耳边荡漾着微风的声音 my ears could hear the gentle breeze rustling
在我记忆里 In my memory
我不曾忘记 I never forget
你我的童年的回忆 our childhood memories
回想天真无邪的日子里 looking back at the naive and youthful days of ours
心里感到一丝丝的甜蜜 my heart could feel a sense of sweetness
(*) 我想 I wish to
越荡越高越荡越高越高越好 swing the higher the better
闭上眼 with my eyes closed
回忆童年的自己 to recall myself when I was still young
想要 I want to
越荡越高越荡越高越高越好 swing the higher the better
睁开眼 with my eyes opened
看看世界多么美丽 to look at this beautiful world
我想再与你 I want to be with you
坐在秋千上 sitting on the swings
一起寻找我们的方向 to search for our directions
若遇到挫折 even when facing with obstacles
我绝不放弃 I will never give up
盼望我们的梦想会实现 hoping that our wish will one day materialize
在我的心里 Deep inside my heart
有一个秘密 there's a secret
我想要再次见到你 I wish to meet you again
一起憧憬着美好的未来 to await our wonderful future together
期盼着一丝奇迹的出现 and I really hope this miracle will happen
(*)
让我们 再 LET US , once again
越荡越高越荡越高越高越好 swing the higher the better
握着手 holding our hands
回忆童年的我们 to reminisce our childhood days
想要 I wish to
越荡越高越荡越高越高越好 swing the higher the better
齐心地 together
创造我们的未来 we can shape our future
一起实现属于我们的梦想 And let's achieve our dreams together
