Among Mr. Zhang Guorong's many song works, although "Red Butterfly" is not as classic and familiar as "The Wind Continues to Blow" and "A Thousand And One Thousand Que Songs", as one of his brother's last works, it is also a featured work with great literary and artistic feelings, and the composition is also completed by his brother himself.
The first time I listened to my brother's "Red Butterfly", I guessed that it should be Liang Zhuhua Butterfly's love story. Although Liang Zhu's fate is tragic, it is feathered into a butterfly, and the end of the double-dwelling and amphibian is at least gratifying.
Because it is a Cantonese lyrics, at first I can't understand the content of it too much, but I think my brother's song is very smooth and singing very emotionally.
After the brisk piano prelude, I began to interpret the lyrics, but it brought me unparalleled heartache and shock. "If you have loved me a little bit, please do not recognize each other, if you see that I am lucky or fate, please close your eyes, if you hear my crying in the bottom of my heart, please put away the surprise, sleep quietly, do not have to comfort me to be emotional again", the first four sentences plus the brother's affectionate interpretation are enough to make people move. Listening to the whole song, I can't stop the tears. The theme of the song is also not Liang Zhuhua's butterfly love story. The infatuation of the protagonist in the song is very much like the Cheng Dieyi in "Overlord Farewell", which is also the interpretation of the brother, the difference is that the butterfly is living in his own world, loving himself, and the protagonist in the song wants to go through a period of real-life vigorous and sea oath mountain alliance, due to the lover's letting go, the protagonist is difficult to give up, can not forget and can not put down the inner struggle, repeated complex emotions, so that at the expense of the body scales, with blood into a red butterfly tragic story. Under the interpretation of the brother, the complex emotions of the protagonist's loneliness, confusion and collapse are also rendered to the fullest, into the wood three points. "Infatuation should be like this, blood and tears stain the butterfly clothes"
The end of the song "I hate butterflies not matched" I hate butterflies for not being paired, humble as I can't see the end of butterflies in pairs; hate myself, why not deserve you. I hate you, why don't even I deserve you. It adds to the listener's heartache and compassion for the protagonist. People who don't have personal experience may not have interpreted this song so poignantly.
