1989
夜機 Night Flight
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.

gamgam今tintin天heihei起dikdik的muimui每maanmaan晚Every night from today,
zungjung縱jauyau有singsing星gwonggwong光caanchaan燦laanlaan爛even if the stars shine bright,
hoho可siksik惜samsam心fuifui灰jiyi意laanglaang冷sadly my heart has gone cold,
cingching情toutou途ganggang更amam暗daamdaam淡love's road looks darker still,
loulou路ganggang更waanwaan彎and the road winds even more.
