国粤双语歌曲的例子
我是比较后知后觉的人。但是英文里有一个说法：better late than never. 我大概最早是今年上半年看到的Ayen何璟昕在2022年在中央台三套(CCTV3)表演的《追梦人》《天若有情》。你可以注意到她先是以国语的追梦人开始，中间插一段粤语的天若有情，最后又回到国语的追梦人。
后来发现Ayen在各主流视频平台上有不少国粤双语的歌。于是我最近 created 一个YT Playlist – Ayen何璟昕-国粤双语。An example 另外一个例子: also 人生何处不相逢 + 最真的梦 ｜国粤双语 Acoustic Cover (link is from YT Shorts). A longer version from Ayen via Bilibili is here. 人生何处不相逢原唱是陈慧娴(Bilibili 链接)；最真的梦的原唱是周华健。
国语版和粤语版
Btw, 我是最近才知道不少歌是同时有国语版和粤语版的。A面&B面——国粤双语歌曲三十五首全纪录 – 日记 – 豆瓣.
再比如说“你是明日意义”这首歌是“漂洋过海来看你”的粤语版。这篇博文的密码是tomorrow, btw。Another example is this relatively new song 故事的最终粤语版：Cantonese lyricist is 心之洛 and the singer with acoustic guitar cover is Ayen何璟昕 (both links are YT). The mandarin version is sung by Zhang Bichen, 【新歌首發】張碧晨《在故事的最終》溫情上線（電影【哪吒之魔童鬧海】片尾曲）| CC字幕. I like both versions, but I liked the Cantonese versions’ words and singing slightly more 🙂
Actually, yesterday I noticed Ayen is not the only singer does this 国粤双语, Alan Tam 谭咏麟, one of the most famous singers from HK, sung this one at Hunan TV a few years ago – the original songs 突然想愛你 (mandarin) 留低鎖匙(Cantonese) were both originally sung by Valen Hsu or Xu Ru’yun 許茹芸. She is recently performing in the mainland, btw.
Also 执迷不悔 (Live) sung by the singer Sara Liu Xijun whom I also like quite a bit.
When I realized this, I tend to believe they are not the only 3 singers do 国粤双语. This way of singing probably existed before 2021 and 2022.
