Cha Qu
鄭秀文 Lyrics

The lyrics to "Cha Qu" by 鄭秀文 (Sammi Cheng) talk about a relationship that has ended and the lingering feelings that remain. The singer expresses the idea that if they shouldn't see each other again, then they should let go of the distant happiness and not hold onto any attachment. The lyrics portray the feeling of quickly getting tired of loving someone else and being constantly reminded of the past through old photographs. The singer acknowledges that other people may be good and may love them, but deep down, they blame those people for not being like their former lover. The singer sighs and feels a sense of emptiness every night, unable to see the person they long for in their dreams. They express bitterness and occasionally hate towards their former lover, but they continue living their own life while the ex-lover moves on to love someone else. The singer questions how it is possible to accept not matching with their former lover and sometimes still feels indignant. The song emphasizes that if they were to love the person again, it would be because of their natural affinity. The singer concludes by asking who else in this world loves the ex-lover besides them and who else can share passionate kisses with them. They mention that missing the person they yearn for has become a habit, and perhaps it would be better for everyone if they just accept that. However, there is a fear that eventually, both the singer and the ex-lover will realize that they regret not being more forgiving on that particular day. Despite the singer being loved by others, they still secretly compare them to their former lover.
