They honour parental love after a series of supernatural happenings with their neighbours, friends and family members. The Willow Lane is the final number of the Cantonese musical. The spirit of Sunny finally departs from the living world, leaving Rain alone. Rain sings this folk-style number. opening with deep remembrance. The middle section with village-dance flavour portrays her hope for the future, but the melancolic ending suggests that Rain still cannot forget the past happenings.

歌詞

Lyrics

細風撥著夕陽與山接壤 有小蜻蜓落 柳枝揖揚 擔桿放在稻田歇息那樣 記得家門闔上

A light wind prevails as the sun sets on the mountain A dragonfly descends lightly upon a willow branch A pole sits atop a rice paddy for a moment of repose Remember to shut the doors

記憶裡面未磨碎的印象 幾多陰晴 過幾多衣裳 駐足里 在無數的 上 柳枝抑揚地唱

Memories have not faded I remember the changing weather and drying my clothes I remember countless nights living in the alleyway The willows sing with enchantment

如果天空沒有朝陽 嚴冬應該沒雪霜 沒有季節越會荒涼 一切失去滋養

If the sun doesn’t shine Perhaps there’d be no frost in winter Without the changing seasons, the earth would be barren Nothing will be nourished

柳枝插在大門美得漂亮 再多一年又再接觸天涼 每一里路亦如潮汐潮漲 記憶不能闔上

Willow branches hang by the gate As the year passes, the weather cools Every mile I tread is like the ebb and flow of the tide Memories are indelible 歌詞英譯 English translation of lyrics 李正欣 Joanna C Lee
