An S.H.E song? what kind of song are you looking for?

Recently, they've been focusing on solo activities so their solo discographies are also pretty solid!

Whatever's the best
As in god-tier level
Solo stuff is fine as well
:peepopbirthday:

@grainy
SKSKSKS forgot to quote lmao

hmm my favourite s.h.e songs
i recced the not very popular ones because you've probably heard stuff like xing guang, superstar, half-sugarism etc. before?
they have like 200 songs so it kinda matters what you like









Hebe's solos (i put in two of the most popular ones because it's less likely you've heard them, besides A Little Happiness + two of her faster songs)
I think she sings better live tbh but if you want i'll link the mvs








Ella's solos









Selina's solos

I was looking to find translated lyrics for 我爱雨夜花 (I love rainy night flower) and the translation I found was very, well, interesting. The songs is in Hokkien (or Hakka?) so I'm not sure if anyone here knows the lyrics but I'd love to know if those lyrics were correct.

link us!

I don't really understand Hokkien (you're right, it's Hokkien) but the written is similar enough to get a gist.

Chinese lyrics:
彼條菅芒比人高的路彎彎曲曲通到山腳
山腳有一個庄 阿公就住置彼
青味青味的竹林常常攏嘛隨風底唱歌 咪嗦啦 咪嗦啦

不知影圓仔花為什麼四季攏嘛咧開滿山
甘講這有世外桃源的土跟天堂來的沙
舊柪舊柪的厝瓦 一直保護阿公阿嬤 阿公自己改編的歌 伊唱乎我聽

這條歌陪我到大漢 常常哼著伊唱也唱袂煞
希望你同款會凍睛足聽 愛珍惜 這個聲
這條歌陪我一直到大漢 常常哼著伊唱也唱袂煞
雖然講世界不時在變化 嘛是愛這條歌

(雨夜花 雨夜花)袂娶某 袂娶某 娶到一個呆大摳 脖子黑黑 目睛凸凸 親像火車煙囪管
(雨夜花 雨夜花)袂娶某 袂娶某 娶到一個呆大摳 脖子黑黑 目睛凸凸 親像火車煙囪管

逐次返到這個所在我習慣脫赤腳 脫赤腳哪走哪迄逃置底軟軟土的田岸
蝴蝶蝴蝶翩翩飛阿飛飛阿飛引我想欲抓 這藏有我囝仔時存的笑聲

大樹邊的一條溪流流流過陡陡的山壁 溪凍水也清照著天照著白雲哪像水鏡
釣幾尾啊沒魚嘛有蝦 起火烤烤來吃 哪吃哪換阿嬤 唱歌乎阮聽

原來置怹的年代 (欲娶某欲嫁尪~) 不曾有自由的戀愛 (等到有一天~)
嫁娶攏聽父母的安排 (原來~) 這就是怹彼個年代 (彼個年代~)

Translation:

The most notable part of the translation is the chorus:
(雨夜花 雨夜花)袂娶某 袂娶某 娶到一個呆大摳 脖子黑黑 目睛凸凸 親像火車煙囪管
(Four season) Marry a wife marry a wife marry a big fat person with a dark neck and protruding eyes just like a train’s chimney

(雨夜花 雨夜花) seems to just say "Rainy night flower, Rainy night flower"

The song is referring to a classic Taiwanese song called "Rainy night flower", and from what I can tell based on the translation it's about someone reminiscing about the time they spent with their grandparents as a child, and how they were singing that song.

this song?

It's a correct translation
The ending of the song speaks of how during the singer's grandfather's generation, they had arranged marriages and weren't allowed to love freely.

Somebody wrote a book on this period, but idk how accurate:

"“The ugly wife is a treasure at home” is not just an idle expression in China. For centuries, Chinese marriage involved matchmakers, child brides, dowries, and concubines, until the People’s Republic of China was established by Mao Zedong and his Communist Party in 1949. Initially encouraging citizens to reject traditional arranged marriages and wed for love, the party soon spurned ”the sin of putting love first,” fearful that romantic love would distract good Communists from selflessly carrying out the State’s agenda. Under Mao, the party established the power to approve or reject proposed marriages, to dictate where couples would live, and to determine if they would live together. By the 1960s and 1970s, romantic love had become a counterrevolutionary act punishable by “struggle sessions” or even imprisonment. The importance of Chinese sons, however, did not wane during Mao’s thirty-year regime. As such, in a world where nobody spoke of love, 99 percent of young women still married."

As far as I'm aware, there is indeed such a saying. The (imo, not very good) rationale of that time is that an ugly wife is more humble, resilient, won't attract much attention from men and won't cause trouble, leading to a stable home.

Yes, that's the one. The original version is from the 1930s (based on the wikipedia article).
I wonder if there are other SHE songs in Hokkien? It sounds so different from Mandarin, it makes for a different type of sound.
