CANTONESE VERSION OF TONG HUA
[but its very soft ><]



You can now sing along with romanized cantonese pronunciation provided by me.

This is one of my favorite songs. It was originally a mandarin song. But since my mandarin is awesome (being sarcastic) and a fellow youtube provided cantonese lyrics, I decided to give it a go... The original is in the key of F#, I think.. but I made it in the key of C..so it's much lower...so the beginning was extremely difficult to sing..
I hope you guys like it and any feedback or comment would be much appreciated.

I tried to translate it into english to the best of my ability. it was hard....

Intro: C Am F G
還記念[C]以前 和你在[Am]某年 同挽著[F]臂天邊都走遍[G]
waan gei nim yi chin, woh nei joi mau nin, tung waan jeuk bei, tin bin dou jau pin

I still remember our time together in the past, holding each other's arms roaming to the ends of the world

言語是[C]太甜 情深總[Am]不變 停靠在[F]背面是柔和的臉[G]
yin yue si taai tim, ching sam jung bat bin, ting kaau joi bui min, si yau woh dik lim

words are too sweet but true love never changes. the soft face I felt on my back always reassured me of it.

bridge
如童話[E]都不多 公主幸[Am]福要送贈我
yue tung wah dou bat doh, gung jue hang fuk yiu sung jang ngoh

like how it's rare even in fairy tales. The princess sends her happiness to me.

你陪同[F]我 陪一世好麼[G]
nei pui tung ngoh, [ui yat sai hou moh

Is it alright if you stay with me forever?

傻王子[E]很情楚 沿途不[Am]可留下我 這毒蘋[F]果請不要送我[G]
soh wong ji han ching choh, yuen tou bat hoh lau hah ngoh, jeh duk ping gwoh, ching bat yiu sung ngoh

The dummy prince clearly understands that he can't abandon me along the way. Please do not give me that poison apple.

chorus
童話裡[C]面 我發[G6]現 幸福[Am]都只差一線 纏著我[F]手將溫[G]馨完全兌[C]現
tung wah lui min, ngoh faat yin, hang fuk dou ji chah yat sin, chin jeuk ngoh sau, jeung wan hing yuen chuen dui yin

In the fairy tale, I've discovered that there's thin line between happiness and sadness. Hold my hand and let us transfer all our warmth to each other.

拿著戒[F]指 它必[G]將成為我[C]這生的天[Am]使
我甘[F]願 為你[Gsus4]說願[C]意
nah jeuk gaai ji, tah bit jeung sing wai ngoh jeh sang dik tin si, ngoh gam yuen, wai nei suet yuen yi

holding onto the ring, it will for sure become the angel in my life. For you, I'd willingly say "I do"

bridge

chorus

chorus (at one key higher)


童話故[E]事 是幼[B6]稚 但我[C#m]亦喜歡天使 陪著你[A]走這麼[B]多年才發[E]現.
tung wah gue si, si yau ji, daan ngoh yik hei foon tin si, pui jeuk nei jau jeh moh doh nin choi faat yin

fairy tales are silly but nonetheless I adore angels. I've discovered while accompanying you all these years

拿著戒[A]指 你到[B]天邊海角[E]亦帶著夢[C#m]兒
nah jeuk gaai ji, nei dou tin bin hoi gok, yik daai jeuk mung yi

holding onto the ring, you'll always hold on to your dream no matter where you go

要不[A]是 為我[Bsus4]太在[E]意
yiu bat si, wai ngoh taai joi yi

You don't need to worry about me too much

我一[A]樣為你[Bsus4]太在[E]意
ngoh yat yeung wai nei taai joi yi

But I will still think of you all the time
