The Onion

Onions, one of the oldest vegetables known to mankind, are found in a bewildering array of recipes and preparations, spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures. Though onions have many medicinal properties and health benefits, they actually a BIG no-no in our diet! Onions contain a toxic ingredient which is known as thiosulphate. Besides dogs, other pets affected by onion toxicity will develop haemolytic anaemia, in which the red blood cells burst while circulating in the animal's body.

Though Wynn Wynn and I cannot eat onions, we do appreciate them in another perspective. Recently we like a song performed by Aska, Yang Zong Wei. It is called "Yang Cong" (洋葱). As "Yang Cong" means "Onion", MM always loves to refer this song to the song of "Onion". Do not be mistaken... the song is not one of those funny vegan tales. It is beautiful and meaningful, especially the lyrics written by Ashin from MayDay (五月天). Though it does not tear your eyes like those powerful-scented onions, you might just be touched by this "Onion", in some ways.

<< 洋葱>>
如果你眼神能够为我
片刻的降临
如果你能听到 心碎的声音
沉默的守护著你
沉默的等奇迹
沉默的让自己 像是空气

大家都吃著聊著笑著
今晚多开心
最角落里的我 笑得多合群
盘底的洋葱像我
永远是调味品
偷偷的看著你
偷偷的隐藏著自己

如果你愿意一层一层
一层的剥开我的心
你会发现 你会讶异
你是我 最压抑
最深处的秘密
如果你愿意一层一层
一层的剥开我的心
你会鼻酸 你会流泪
只要你能 听到我
看到我的全心全意

听你说你和你的他们
暧昧的空气
我和我的绝望 装得很风趣
我就样一颗洋葱
永远是配角戏
多希望能与你有一秒
专属的剧情

如果你愿意一层一层
一层的剥开我的心
你会发现 你会讶异
你是我 最压抑
最深处的秘密
如果你愿意一层一层
一层的剥开我的心
你会鼻酸 你会流泪
只要你能 听到我
看到我的全心全意

你会鼻酸 你会流泪
只要你能 听到我
看到我的全心全意
