1989

夜機 Night Flight

Priscilla Chan 陳慧嫻

A goodbye from a night flight: she slips away to start over far from home, letting go of a love that was never fully returned. From her 1989 farewell album before studying abroad, and an RTHK Top 10 Gold Song.

wut活put潑dik的sam心jeung像ha下cham沉diu掉My once-lively heart seems to sink away.
