Wings Of Light
by Faye Wong
(english translation)
I quietly flip on the power switch
The colours on the [computer] screen are brightening
I'm searching in the virtual city
For a place where my spirit can rest

The plastic keyboard is rattling
The machine's voice is calling out tenderly
I abandon my imperfect body
[And] leap out of reality's skylight

I spread my transparent wings
[And] fly towards the moon
I search for the most beautiful
Heaven for this life

I've passed the edge of the world
I'm following my premonitions
I'm riding on the wind of imagination
Scattering infinite radiance

The high-speed connection is transmitting thoughts
Leaping letters are revealing wishes
Comforting words seem more tangible
Than an intimate embrace

The colours on the screen are still radiating light
The machine's voice continues to call out
I can't find a place to hide my desires
In the oceans of the internet

The mysterious passage is about to open
I'm tingling with excitement and expectation
I abandon my tired body
[And] leap out of reality's skylight

I spread my transparent wings
[And] fly towards the moon
I search for the most beautiful
Heaven for this life

I've flown past the end of the night
I've embraced your warmth
I'm riding on the wind of imagination
Scattering infinite radiance

  I'm not that lyrically interested in this song, beyond how the actual singing is music in itself.  This is a reason why I can enjoy music in a language I don't understand.

  You start out thinking this might be some timid song, maybe sung by some timid girl, but then she busts out with amazing power vocals.
