After seeing the movie "Love without End" and seeing a situation where an old beggar woman's boyfriend got arrested, I kind of thought that the song may fit in the situation. It was actually taken from the movie starring the late movie queen Lin Dai (RIP) where it was all tragic so I thought of writing my own version based on what happened although the leading lady hasn't died in real life. I'm too tired of the average-rich taking roles, why not the poor?
Here's the summary nearly similar to the plot I made up:
Dolores is an old beggar woman that everybody in the market place gets mad for her bad attitude and she is made fun of her ghastly appearance. She is accompanied by her brother Ariston. She meets another old beggar named Alfonso who she falls in love and the two began a romantic relationship. However it happens that Alfonso was caught gambling with his fellow beggars in a game of tossing the coin. Arrested, Dolores is in despair as her boyfriend Alfonso is sent to jail with no means of escape. Without a choice, Dolores accompanied by her daughter Carmen (from her late husband) and her brother Ariston, they beg for money but only to be stopped by the police and even by other poor people (who are laborers). She gets her "luck" when she meets the laborer of a businessman named Remegio (who is 23 years her junior) who thinks she's hot as ever (even when she's not). Remegio takes her out to dates, gave her money and through a third party namely her daughter Carmen, to save the money to bail Alfonso out of jail. Alfonso who was freed, discovered that she had flirted with Remegio, left her. In despair, Dolores was once again seen singing at the videoke bar and getting drunk. Alfonso who was angered took out some old women and brings them in front of her to get revenge. Dolores feels bad and she leaves. However Dolores starts to get ill but Alfonso doesn't inform her. Alfonso offers to marry Dolores. At the poorly done bridal parlor, she overheard the conversation about Alfonso knowing of her sickness. Believing she was going to die, she told her daughter Carmen to take her to a remote place by the sea where her daughter lives. Alfonso traced her down but it's too late. Dolores is already dead.
And for the lyrics translation:
Wang bu le wang bu le
(Unforgettable, Unforgettable)
Wang bu le ni de cuo
(Can’t forget your mistakes)
Wang bu le ni de hao
(Can’t forget your kindness)
Wang bu le yu zhong de san bu
(Can’t forget our carefree stroll in the rain)
Ye wang bu le na feng li de yong bao
(And can’t forget how we embraced in the wind)
Wang bu le wang bu le
(Unforgettable, Unforgettable)
Wang bu le ni de lei
(Can’t forget your tears)
Wang bu le ni de xiao
(Can’t forget your laughter)
Wang bu le luo xie de chou chang
(Can’t forget the falling leaves of despair)
Ye wang bu le na hua kai de fan nao
(And can’t forget those blooming worries)
