One Song a Day (mother’s day special) - Warm Pillow 愛你枕邊暖. Translation below, song link in bio @chetlam

A song I wrote for my sister for all the ‘housewives’. First I got the idea from Peggy Lee’s ‘I’m a Woman’, the monologue of a super woman having a busy life taking care of the family to ‘make a man out of you’. First time I presented this was on a radio show with live audience, there were a few mothers. They listened closely to the lyrics, the emotion ride that showed on their faces was priceless, laughing with joyful tears was just the best feeling.
Melody wise it’s an imitation of one of those TV Theme songs. You got the idea. Here’s my own live rendition taking it to another level: singing like a REAL old timer with Bong’s internal throat Erhu playing the counter melody. FUN.

Warm Pillow

Big sale in the supermarket
Get more and more coupons
Save money but the invincible strength to carry bags and bags of rice
New fashion season can never please me as much as new free good kitchen ware
My skillful hands are best working in the kitchen and book keeping
•
Laundry all done, drying, folding
Cleaning the blinds, windows, main entrance, floor, , make them as shiny and clean as my heart
Bath towels will wrap you up warmly softly and nicely
Clear the dining table, do facial mask, perm my hair, do the dishes, dry the dishes
And change all bedsheets before bed time
I do all that without a sweat
And I will repeat all of the above once again next morning
•
I cook for you
I make soup for you
I wash half a day alone by the window
My calves are a little bit thicker than desired
I guard our home for you
I do all our book keeping for you
I know everything in the soap operas by heart
Only love happy endings
Even though you snore
I still love having you by the warm pillow

Whenever we see Yam Kim-Fai
We will also see Bak Shuet-sin (Legendary Cantonese opera stars)
After all Xiu Yuk only wants Lee Ten
(One of the greatest tragedies in the Cantonese opera, the Purple Hairpin)
And Gwok Jing always has Wong Yung
(Legendary love birds in a famous Kung Fu novel)
Wait... no need to be this dramatic
I just want you to love me forever

寫給妹妹的仿武俠片插曲，《愛你枕邊暖》是「師奶」的主題曲：繁忙生活為的就是為了一家人生活舒適，自己就自然快樂。第一次發表這首歌是一個有幾位現場觀眾的電台節目，在場有幾位媽媽，她們邊聽邊笑，笑出眼淚來，那種反應是作為創作人得到的最好禮物。這個版本是我的live，南音配上阿邦的人肉二胡，向天下師奶致敬。母親節快樂！

愛你枕邊暖
（曲詞：林一峰）

超市減價起勢換印花慳得要慳
兩手三袋米從未手軟
今季新裝未如換套煲深得我心
玉手巧廚最懂得精算
•
衫褲洗哂晾完又摺
捽過窗口大門地板光潔洗我心
浴巾包著你柔順溫暖
執打掃敷臉電發
洗碗乾碗睡前換被單都不氣喘
第朝醒來再上演一遍
•
飯我為你煮湯我為你添
洗了大半天我獨自在窗邊
（站了大半天 小腿粗了點）
家我為你守 數我為你睇
深諳電視劇發展 喜愛大團圓
儘管你有鼻鼾 仍愛你枕邊暖
•
一見任劍輝 總有白雪仙
走過大半生 小玉有李十郎
郭靖也有黃蓉
不需這麽淒怨
只要你愛我未變遷
