Bicycle

 

Original song by Eason Chan

English lyrics: Gene 

Last updated in 2020

 

No no no no, I’ve never known.

All that all that efforts have been done for me.

Why are you so great?

But I can never feel it.

 

Not that glad to hear no ‘Love’.

The only touch I remember our exchanges

While riding a bicycle,

You did tightly hold me.

 

Don’t leave me alone in desolation,

If I could smile on your shoulder,

I do not want to get off the bicycle,

Never get off.

 

Don’t leave me alone in such a cold world,

If I could smile on your shoulder,

I do not want to get off the bicycle,

Never ever get off.

 

Everything that I know is empty,

To make the imitation of your role come to life,

It’s hard to complete it.

Why don’t you embrace me?


How can I believe in your love?

You did cherish me, but never let me know.

How I miss the only hug,

On the very bicycle.

 

Don’t leave me alone in desolation,

If I could smile on your shoulder,

I do not want to get off the bicycle,

No matter how far it would be.

 

You love me so much more,

I would travel firmly by myself

Shall we talk with each other,

You and me, just us.

 

Don’t leave me alone in desolation,

If I could smile on your shoulder,

I do not want to get off the bicycle,

Never get off.

 

Don’t leave me alone in such a cold world,

If I could smile on your shoulder,

Only you know me well, although how mischievous I am.

You forgive me for all time.

English Therapy

English Therapy   In 2019, a language group “English Therapy” was established to make local community events diverse and help residents study English to enhance language and communication skills. Motto: It is not only an English speech activity, but also a place where you can berth your heart. The name of this platform obtained inspiration from an American friend, “It would be great if you can organize such events because it is more than an English event, but a place for people to enjoy the freedom of speech and relax themselves”. Thus, “English Therapy” was born and I am one of the three founders. We organized this type of events simply because we are all passionate about sharing good things with others and English speech. This is a bi-weekly event without duplicate topics. Every audience may share opinions and stories and speakers can deliver speeches in English only. Topics discussed : Music, movie, book, art, trip/travel, an impressive person, celebrity, work/study-li
