Faye Wong - Beautiful Mistake

The song tells to enjoy loving the past/present/future, because as the lyrics say "at least then I would have had a moment of happiness".

(thanks sweetheart, I did have a moment of happiness)




Here's the translation of this beautiful song:

Originally planned to vow by the ocean with him, Yet mistakenly arrived to a swimming pool
Eyes filled with the ocean-blue beauty, That is where you and I began, The blue ripples laid forth a path of memories

You gave me a meteoroid rarely descending from above, I continued to mistake it for a perfect diamond,
Never once seeing its defect, Mounting it onto my ring,
I did not even realize, What was there I had lost

Allow me to have sensibility get the better of me,
Leaving sense to no avail, At least then I would have had a moment of happiness

Who cares if you are real or fake, or whoever is my destination,
The ability of self-righteousness is nevertheless a blessing

It always happens either too early, or too late
A beautiful mistake often comes so close to the truth

Although sometimes I wake up from dreams, and sometimes I don't hold out
The greatest happiness in life is nothing more than this
The so-called dream life
Means precisely this
The so-called fate means this

It’s Valentine’s day! I know that it's kind of late and some of you just don't celebrate it. So let's cheer up with beautiful things.

American in Everyday Life

Norman Rockwell's heartwarming illustrations of American life appeared on covers of the Saturday Evening Post magazine for many years. When people use the expression "as American as apple pie," they could just as well say "as American as a Norman Rockwell painting."

The artwork of Norman Rockwell is the story they tell outside the image. Rockwell had a keen sense of timing. His ability to capture a specific moment in time causing the viewer’s imagination to transport into that instance required great talent.

Looking at one of these paintings, you can’t help but wonder, and imaginatively know, what is going on outside of the particular scene, that we simply can’t see.
