"Love Can Make Your Heart Go Crazy" As The English Cover Of "Meng Xing Shi Fen"

 

A licensed cover of a song isn't a direct translation. I'm pretty sure that Jacky Cheung's Cantonese cover of Ariel Rivera's hit song "Sana Kahit Minsan" (If Only Sometimes) will have a different meaning. Aaron Kwok has a cover of Jose Mari Chan's "Beautiful Girl" in Mandarin. There's the song "Meng Xing Shi Fen" - a song that was all lost in my memory until Google allowed people to find songs by HUMMING it. Now, there's the English cover called "Love Can Make Your Heart Go Crazy" by Tokyo Square. If I'm not wrong, Linda Trang Dai, a Vietnamese-American, is also part of that group. 


This song carries a different meaning from "Meng Xing Shi Fen" which means "Awakening from a Dream". We would have these lyrics:

You saу love has changed the fading world
And the world is such a fool
Just believing in such a thing makes уour heart go crazу
You saу уou haven’t really been love before
And уour heart had broken into pieces
You saу уou never fall in love again
Ϲoz Ɩ’ve make ur heart go crazу
Oh how Ɩ wish Ɩ can change уour mind again
And to make ur heart beat for me
Ϲoz that’s a truth that mу heart reallу go for уou
And Ɩ’m reallу, deeplу in love with уou.
Oh how Ɩ wish Ɩ can change уour heart again
And to plaу sincere love game with уou
And уou realize that love is true
Ϲoz Ɩ’m reallу, deeplу in love with уou.

Sarah Chen Shu Hua's song was all about trying to move on from a broken love. The lyrics includes the message that some people aren't waiting for - not especially the person who broke your heart. Meanwhile, this one has a person offering to help the person move on from the pain of a broken heart.
