CantoPop Lyrics 03 - Joyce Cheng 鄭欣宜 / Goddess 女神 (English, Jyutping & Chinese)

A big hit by singer Joyce Cheng.

As Lydia Shum's (influential, respected comedian and MC with iconic portly figure in Hong Kong) daughter, Joyce has long been known for her body size since a very young age. She once struggled to lose her weight in her adolescence and after her debut, but finally decided to stop going on diets and fully embrace her true self.

The standard aesthetic value clashes with you
控訴你未符俗世眼光

The blossoming you are facing the sea
這選美是個 很小的舞台

If you have to exchange for
The climax at the end
How much will you pay
People live for happiness
How come so much disaster in life
Who suffer for happiness until tears shed
Go into a tailspin before peace comes

Happy Christmas

It is us who exaggerated joy
Make friend happy
