Chinese term or phrase: 如果我是陳奕迅
I have no clue what it means, but I need a translation
Shankovich
Canada
If I were Eason Chan / If I am Eason Chan
Explanation:
Eason Chan is a Hong Kong singer, but "如果我是陳奕迅" is the name of a song sung by a band called "Mr."

http://hk.music.yahoo.com/album-song.html?songcode=YAH100006...

The verb may be "were" or "am". It is because this song is included in their album "If I am". Also, according to this webpage:

http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/entertainment/20091016/00282_...

The band wants to tell people that things can come true.

If you still think the singer cannot become Eason Chan logially, you can use "were" instead.
