All the Chinese songs I have met

Here we are again. Another one of those huge-ass posts with tons of stuff. Yep, you got it. This is an attempt to gather what the title says, with English translations (and Italian ones to fill the column hole, that is the hole created by using double-column formatting with Characters and Transliteration side by side and English under Characters). Of course, that is a bit pretentious: what I actually mean is this will gather all the Chinese songs I have some record of having met. What does that mean? I started studying Chinese in August 2011. For the schoolyears 2011-2012 and 2012-2013, I have two files which supposedly gather all the songs I met in those years, supposedly in the order I met them. For the other years, I have basically no file (well, 2013-2014 has a start of a file with like 3 songs, but that is hardly all the songs I met that year), so I trust the only records left: downloaded videos and saved Firefox sessions. Yeah, because I save my entire Firefox session from time to time, and you wouldn't believe just how many songs came out of there – well, almost all those you will see from those years come from sessions, except about I'd say 20 from videos, and the first 4 from year 6 from a mobile Browser session that had gathered what I'd opened in China in the week 23/11/16-30/11/16. And then in like this August I started bookmarking every song I met, storing the bookmarks in folders named with the meeting date. Pretty good record there, right? Finally, we have the "Hakka song le best" post series, for which cfr. below. So these are my records. How do I produce the below song list though? Well:
  • For year 1 (2011-2012), I trust the file blindly; this might mean some missing songs I did not remember while making the file, though said file should have been made while the year was progressing, so it should be complete enough;
  • For year 2, I do have a file, but… well, firstly, it stops in August 2013, whereas I would have years start in October and end in September, lining up with academic years; also, browsing through Firefox sessions and downloaded videos, I found songs that were not in the file but were definitely from year 2; so how do I intertwine the different record types? Here are my rules:
    • The files have precedence, so the songs in the files are ordered as they are in the files;
    • Songs from videos come after songs from sessions when in the same session; what that means is that videos are often saved in folders with session numbers matching the Firefox sessions, so if there are songs from the session and songs from the matching video folder, I put the former first and the latter last;
    • Songs from one of the files that are also found in a session go before songs in the same session that are not in the files; videos are intertwined with files analogously;
  • For year 3, I have no file (except that 3-song file which ended up in year 2 because of the year splitting change), so I intertwine sessions and videos according to the above rules;
  • Same goes for year 4, plus the fact that I looked up two posts (cfr. item below) from Hakka verse and intertwined them with sessions and videos according to posting date; that is, I found the posts, looked at when they were posted, looked at the sessions, which are all dated, and placed those posts accordingly;
  • It was clear to me from the start that I could not dream of putting here all the Hakka Verse Hakka songs: far too long a task; so I chose to put in a couple I remembered, intertwining them with sessions and videos according to the dates of the oldest posts I could find related to them; I am here referring to 今脯夜恁多星 (from year 4), the Min song near the end of year 4, 想你想得好孤寂 (or rather its Hakka version, from year 4, probably recorded in sessions as well), 胆大大 (from year 4);
  • As a further "tribute" to the huge quantity of Hakka songs from Hakka Verse, I took advantage of the "Hakka song le best" series of posts by the founder of Hakka Verse dated August-September 2017 to create a subsection of this post with precisely that title; this will be between year 6 and year 7, though to have chronological order I should intertwine it with the former;
  • In year 4, I was presented with a CD of Min songs; its tracks are given all together, in the CD's order, save for those that have already appeared before the CD, which are not repeated;
  • Whenever I find a song list (whether it be a saved Google Translate file containing links, a Facebook note with lots of links, or a saved Google Translate page with a title list), I just put all the new songs in it in the order they appear in said list, just as with the CD;
  • It's lucky enough that songs get so scarce that, in year 6, I had that browsing session along and then, way off, the bookmarked songs and the Hakka song le best songs, so I didn't have to worry about intertwining sessions and videos with that session.
  • Finally, in the night between Sep 25 and Sep 26 2017, or perhaps in the following morning, this random song popped into my mind which I have no record of but remember listening to long ago. I associate it with a summertime car journey from Bicocca to Dorga, and with both 最后的温柔 (last tenderness) and 记得忘记 (remembering and forgetting), which puts it in the summer of 2013 (first year of Uni, year of those two songs), so I will place it between years 2 and 3.
  • You wish it were that simple :). Well, I browsed the videos I hadn't browsed previous for info on this, and a number of other previously unfound songs popped up, some undatable, some datable but coming from sessions where other songs were found which would otherwise be dated far later than that, so to avoid messing up my lists I decided I'd make a section of "undatables" out of all those, including the one in the above bullet, which will be first though it is just about last as found in the folders.
  • Finally, there were those two nursery rhymes which our mother-tounge teacher introduced to us, which I date through a reference to one of them (the only one I actually remembered fully, whereas I only remembered a word of the other one) in my Chinese notes. Will be placed accordingly.
  • Actual finally, confession: both year 1 and year 2 skipped some songs, including songs I only recovered via random saved files from Firefox sessions. At that point, I had used the numbers from here to reference the songs in all posts, so changing the order would have been a terrible mess. I therefore opted to just add those extra songs to the undatables. I will create a correct-order list (or "more correct order" at least) as an extra tab in the index at some point.
But 'nuff said: sit back and enjoy the infinite list :). Min and Hakka spelling and transliteration, of course, as described here. Below is an index of this immense post, with links to the songs. The dating info is obtained by combining:
  1. My memories; EDIT: I decided to delve into those in a separate section next to the dating info, also to include how much I think I remembered it upon digging it up while searching for songs for this post;
  2. Dates of emails sent to Chinese "consultants" of mine;
  3. Dates of documents on my Mac (yet to be implemented as of now);
  4. Dates of saved Firefox sessions (cfr. above);
  5. Dates of bookmark folders (for the last songs of year 6 and going on thence);
  6. Dates of Facebook posts;
  7. The dates of my week in China (for the first 4 songs of year 6).
And now the chitchat is really over: here comes the index :).

  • Now for the undatables. Those are songs that are either videos saved in folders not associated to sessions (hence truly undatable), or videos from sessions that have songs from above before their appearance time and would thus screw up my already messy dating system. They are also all present on a song list last edited in Aug 2012, so by the end of year 2 they were all there, hence this collocation is pretty fitting. Number 6 used to be "Don't know whose "Only you"" (只有你), but that has since been identified as a Korean song, titled 사랑할 게 | Sarang hal ge, whose title will hopefully be clarified here, so I removed it from this list. It will appear in the Korean songs post as the only undatable, when I finally get around to making said post.

    122. 费玉清的“楚留香新传”/“行云万里情” | Fei Yuqing's "New biography of Chu Liuxiang" / "Love of miles and miles of drifting clouds" | First recorded as a Youtube page saved into Session 217 dated 18/6/14, that video seems to no longer be online, then we have the lyrics (I assume that is the song since the title in the lyrics file and the Youtube file is always 行云万里情) in Session 220 dated 2/7/14 - in fact it seems the same Google Translate window was saved with variations of "what's this song's name?" all the way from Session 217 to Session 220, where the title was finally found, the lyrics match the video (except the video's repetition starts three lines later in the text than the Google window's, and video two starts one line earlier than the Google window), the double title is a mystery I cannot solve, and 行云万里情 is the title given in video 2 | video video 2 | Same as above
    123. 艾汶的“我问天” | Ivan Aiwen's "I ask heaven" | Youtube page saved into Session 217 dated 18/6/14, apparently a mix of a Mamndarin version by this Aiwen and a Min version by Cai Mingguo - or were the languages reversed? I'm assuming the video I give is the Aiwen version, as for the Cai Mingguo version, is probably video 2 in the item for the Min version above | video | Same as any other 我问天 item, I guess
    124. 降央卓玛“爱江山更爱美人” | Jamyang Dolma (Jiangyang Zhuoma)'s "I love rivers and mountains but love beautiful people more" | Youtube page saved to Session 227 dated 6/9/14 | video | Complete surprise

    126. 蔡秋凤的“金包银”(闽南语) | Cai Qiufeng's "Silver wrapped in gold" (Min Nan) | I believe this is where the Min CD (cfr. intro) starts, though the number correspondences I have suggest otherwise; I can't find this anywhere on my computer | video | Complete surprise

    138. 陈雷的“拼出头”(闽南语) | Chen Lei's "Fight to free oneself" (Min Nan) | Min CD (cfr. intro) | video | The CD had it sung by the same woman who sung all the songs on it; the video sounds familiar from when I compared it with the CD, and I like the song; I think the CD had it slower; when I found this, it was probably a complete surprise, and actually the songs from the CDs are probably all either complete surprises or by-hearts
    139. 詹雅雯的“情路有你感谢天”(闽南语) | Zhan Yawen's "I thank heaven for meeting you on my love-path" (Min Nan) | Min CD (cfr. intro) | video | Probably remembered meeting it again later and making a Facebook note with the lyrics around 27/2/15, so in year 4

    152. 麦兜的“春田花花幼稚园校歌“(粤语) | Mai Dou's "Chuntian Huahua Kindergarten School Song" (Cantonese) | The lyrics are found in a Google Translate window in Session 229 dated 26/9/14, and the text of the Cantonese Wikipedia article about this is in an MDBG window from the same session; sorry for the horrible singing in the video, but all the videos I find seem to have the same horribly sung audio… | video | Definitely remembered the title, or at least the beginning, and how the subtitles are a linguistic jokes, substituting almost every character with another one that has the same Cantonese syllable as its pronunciation, don't know if I ever heard it before a few days from now (writing 4/4/19), probably remembered part of the lyrics too
  • Year 4
    1. 张少林的“客家人一条心”(惠阳客家话) | Zhang Shaolin's "Hakka people have one heart" (Huiyang Hakka) | Youtube page saved into Session 230 dated 4/10/14 | video | Probably a complete surprise
    2. 张少林的“中国妹万岁”(粤语) | Zhang Shaolin's "May the girls of China live a million years" (粤语) | Same as above | video | Complete surprise right now with it being Cantonese instead of the usual Hakka!
    3. 张少林的“电车歌”(惠阳客家话) | Zhang Shaolin's "Car song" (Huiyang Hakka) | Same as above | video | The title might have stuck, along with "No entry masuk salah!", which is the same sentence in English and Indoneian; not sure though

    5. 黄小琥的“没那么简单” | Huang Xiaohu's "It's not so simple" | A weird splice of the lyrics (1:38-2:19 and 4:33-4:36 in the video) follows the previous song in that MDBG file | video | It's such a surprise that I completely missed it when making my list, and found it now as I made this index and thought "What are those rhymes? Is this part of a song?" and yep, it was
    6. 黃平原的“你怎么舍得我难过“ | Huang Pingyuan's "How can you bear my being sad?" | Lyrics saved to Session 231 dated 31/10/14 | video | Complete surprise, especially since I realize I met its Hakka cover by Mirvin Lim in year 1

    9. 林展逸的“饮畀爽啦”(某种客家话) | Lin Zhanyi's "Let's have a refreshing drink!" (Some kind of Hakka) | Not found on my computer, the earliest record is this note titled "Google Translate windows on 10/2/15, which links to this 8/2/15 post in Hakka Verse where I shared it | video | The way to find it is so strange that I'd bet it was a complete surprise :)
    10. 詹雅雯的“爱你遮深”(闽南语) | Zhan Yawen's "Loving you so deeply" (Min Nan) | Same as above, but pointing to this post on what seems to be my timeline, dated 9/2/15 | video | I have no reason to believe I learnt it after digging, and I know it by heart now, so…
    11. 王识贤的“脚踏车”(闽南语) | Wang Shixian's "Bike" (Min Nan) | Soundtrack of video shared by Anton Xie on Hakka verse on 1/7/15 | video | Probably remembered about the video and that I found the lyrics of the soundtrack, but that's probably it

  • Year 5
    1. 「Chong Tze Min」的“沙巴客家style(沙巴客家话) | 「Chong Tze Min」's "Sabah Hakka style" (Sabah Hakka) | This just popped into my mind, and I was able to find potentially two records; one is certain, and it's this 13/12/15 Hakka verse post, hence the placement; the other one is this 30/1/15 Hakka Verse post, which would place the song in year 4, if it were certain; unfortunately, the link shared in it is not available, so I can't be sure it's this song | video | My memory of it as a Hakka cover for Gangnam style is the very reason this is here; didn't know any of it except the title
    2. 吴夏晖的“盐城区长”(闽南语) | Wu Xiahui's "Mayor of Yancheng district" (Min Nan) | posted by Anton Xie in Hakka Verse on 30/1/16, the post had video 1, then I somehow found video 2 as well, which has way more verses; the name I gave is probably the lady singing in video 2, but I have no idea who sings in video 1 | video, video 2 | Knew video 1 by heart, though my memory wasn't perfect and no matter how many times I sang it it just wouldn't get completely fluid
    3. 牛马丁的“潮州炒粿条“(潮州话) | Niu Mading's "Chaozhou Char-kway-teow" (Teochew) | Link to this video posted in this comment | Found it later than all the rest of Year 5 while saving notes on my computer, absolutely no idea it existed, no idea when I found it otehr than between 13/1 (when I came back to L'Aquila) and 25/1/20 (when I put it in here), though I'm not 100% on having found it in L'Aquila
    4. 谢可为的“感动天感动地”(海陆丰客家话) | Ånton Xiè's "I move the sky and the earth" (Hailu Hakka) | Posted 23/5/16 on Hakka Verse | post, no video AFAIK | If I didn't remember it, it wouldn't be here, as it was hidden among "Isolated Hakka" bookmarks; remembered it while updating index 13/4/19
  • Year 6

    20. 龙千玉的“雨水”(闽南语) | Long Qianyu's "Rainwater" (Min Nan) | Video with same song sung by another woman and titled 下雨了,一首好听闽南语歌 bookarked 31/8/17 | video GONE, replacement | No memory at all
    21. 王杰的“不可能”(粤语) | Dave Wong (Wang Jie)'s "Not possible" (Cantonese) | Bookmarked 31/8/17 | video GONE, replacement | Me guessing this was in Cantonese probably doesn't count as a memory, otherwise I wouldn't have been surprised to find a Cantonese version of song 45 from year 1
    22. 向蕙玲的“毋想你”(闽南语) | Xiang Huiling's "Not miss you" (Min Nan) | Same as above | video | Same as above, possibly from looking for song 51 from year 1?
    23. 海鸣威的“你的承诺” | Hai Mingwei's "Your promise" | Video with same audio (quite possibly the same video on another channel, in fact) bookmarked 31/8/17 | video | No memory at all
    24. 刘德华的“谢谢你的爱” | Andy Lau (Liu Dehua)'s "Thanks for your love" | Bookmarked 31/8/17 | video | No memory whatsoever, maybe a byproduct of looking for song 56 in year 1 given the author/singer is the same?
    25. 江蕙的”黄昏的故乡“(闽南语) | Jiang Hui's "Homeland at dusk" (Min Nan) | Bookmarked 1/9/17 | video | No memory at all
    26. 江蕙的“安平追想曲”(闽南语) | Jiang Hui's "Song of memories in Anping" (Min Nan) | What seems to be the same video from another channel was bookmarked 1/9/17 | video GONE, replacement | Same as above
    27. 陈小云的“长崎蝴蝶姑娘”(闽南语) | Chen Xiaoyun's "Nagasaki Madam Butterfly" (Min Nan) | Bookmarked 1/9/17 | video GONE, video 2, video 3 | Oh I remembered this very well, along with the surprise of finding out this was originally a Japanese song inspired by Madam Butterfly, which the Mandarin version(s) found in year 2 had completely missed; I even remember hearing the actual tune of "Un bel dÌ vedremo" (aria from the opera) in the song made me giggle, and it made me again :); I had even some vague recollections of the lyrics, though they came up as I listened because I never attempted to learn this so they needed to be extracted by something; video 2 bookmarked 1/6/18, has slightly different lyrics, same for video 3
    28. 谢彩云的“敲敲门”和“不到三分钟”混合版 | Michelle Hsie (Xie Caiyun)'s "Knocking on the door" + "Not lasting three minutes" mixed version | What seems to be the same video with worse quality was bookmarked 2/9/17; this is a mix of two songs, which the next two items will cover separately | video | No memory at all
    29. 谢彩云的“敲敲门” | Michelle Hsie (Xie Caiyun)'s "Knocking on the door" | Cfr. above | video | Only just split it from next song while making index
    30. 谢彩云的“不到三分钟” | Michelle Hsie (Xie Caiyun)'s "Not lasting three minutes" | Cfr. above | video, minimally different lyrics | Only just split it from previous song while making index

    35. 徐佳莹的“你敢不敢” | Xu Jiaying's "Do you dare?" | Bookmarked 3/9/17 | video | No memory at all; probably a byproduct of searching for year 6 song 1, which I thought was titled like this one due to its chorus, but I was wrong there
    36. 张少林的“一千万”(惠阳客家话) | Zhang Shaolin's "Ten million" (Huiyang Hakka) | Bookmarked 5/9/17 | video | No memory at all;
    37. 「Lily Wu」的“毋使倒转来寻涯”(山口样客家话) | 「Lily Wu」's "You need not come back to look for me" (Singkawang of Hakka) | Bookmarked 5/9/17 | video | No recollection whatsoever; Hakka type inferred from seeing 印尼山口样客家歌 in the title of the video given three songs below; all I remember of this small series of Lili Wu songs is that they were all found in an attempt to figure out who the "Lily" from year 1 song 55 was and what kind of Hakka she spoke… I guess the last item of the series answers the last question :)
    38. 「Lily Wu」的“涯爱汝”(山口样客家话) | 「Lily Wu」's "I love you" (Singkawang of Hakka) | Bookmarked 5/9/17 | video | No recollection whatsoever
    39. 「Lily Wu」的“一条心”(山口样客家话) | 「Lily Wu」's "One heart" (Singkawang of Hakka) | Bookmarked 5/9/17, but that video is gone, so I assume a replacement video I give here is the right song; presumably downloaded said replacement around 1/5/18 | video | No recollection whatsoever
    40. 「Lily Wu」的“一心忘记汝”(山口样客家话) | 「Lily Wu」's "Completely forgot about you" (Singkawang of Hakka) | What seems to be the same video without karaoke captions was bookmarked 5/9/17 | video | No recollection whatsoever
    41. 良山的“歹命阿狗兄”(闽南语) | Liang Shan's "Fashionable man (?) living a hard life" (Min Nan) | Lyrics bookmarked 6/9/17, video (sung by 陈随意 | Chen Suiyi with altered spoken parts) found for index | video, lyrics | No recollection at all
    42. 陈薇姿的“歌迷小姐” | Chen Weizi's "Fan girl" | Bookmarked 6/9/17 | video | No memory whatsoever
    43. ???的“望春风”(闽南语) | ???'s "Toward the spring wind" (Min Nan) | Bookmarked 6/9/17 | video | Definitely remember dealing with similar songs recently (in year 3 near the end), but this tampered-with version including a completely made-up part is new…
    44. 蒙面哥的“一亿个伤心” | Meng Miange's "100 million hurts" | Bookmarked 11/9/17 | video | No recollection, I think
    45. 陈慧琳的“记事本” | Kelly Chen (Chen Weilin)'s "Notebook" | Lyrics bookmarked 12/9/17, video found for index | video GONE, replacement, lyrics | Oh yes, this thing; Mirvin made an Indo version and posted it somewhere on Facebook with a Chinese translation; I somehow found that, and was trying to work out if the song was Indo or Mandarin; eventually he figured out it was this song, in his Indo version, that I had found; the Indo version is year 3 song 1
    46. 刘紫玲的“北国之春” | Liu Ziling's "Spring in the north" | Bookmarked 18/9/17 | video | Remember the title and that there is a Japanese version, also the start of the tune is similar to year 2 song 128
    47. 刀郎的“谢谢你” | Dao Lang's "Thank you" | Bookmarked 18/9/17, lyrics found for index to rule out 刀郎 being another song (and conclude whoever titled the video either has no idea what is in the video or has no clue what the ampersand means :) ) | video GONE, replacement, lyrics | No memory at all
    48. 杨花涞的“安仁不塞”(潮州话) | Yang Hualai's "Peaceful in kindness and not blocked (?)" (Teochew) | Bookmarked 18/9/17 | video | Definitely remember this as my second and last Teochew song, also remember the lots of spoken parts, just realized they are the same expressions first in Malay then in Teochew, and the title may in fact be an approximation of Anjing Besar, which is the constellation Canis Major
    49. 崔健的“假行僧” | Cui Jian's "Fake monk" | Bookmarked 24/9/17 | video | Title sounds vaguely familiar, but maybe just because I saw it in the bookmarks recently
    50. 黄慧仪的“今生最爱的人” | Huang Huiyi's "The person I love most in this life" | Bookmarked 24/9/17 | video | Nope, no memory
    51. 王杰的“为何分离”(粤语) | Dave Wong (Wang Jie)'s "Why do we split up?" (Cantonese) | Bookmarked 24/9/17 | video | Remember recognizing it as a Cantonese "version" of year 1 song 29, and I think I understood the very sad first line 相爱终于无奈分离, we loved each other and in the end helplessly broke up
    52. 王杰的“爱情重伤”(粤语) | Dave Wong (Wang Jie)'s "Love is a serious wound" (Cantonese) | Same as above | video | No memory
    53. 王杰的“安妮” | Dave Wong (Wang Jie)'s "Annie" | Same as above (bookmarked video is gone) | video | More or less by heart, I actually learnt it by heart not much after finding it, and in the meantime I was making the list for year 3 and found song 71; I think I understood almost all of this upon hearing it
    54. 黄家美的“没有留下地址” | Huang Jiamei's "Didn't leave an address" | Same as above | video | No memory
    55. 巫启贤的“太傻” | Eric Moo (Wu Qixian)'s "Too foolish" | Bookmarked 25/9/17 | video | No memory at all
    56. 陈小春的“相依为命”(粤语) | Jordan Chan (Chen Xiaochun)'s "Relying on each other for life" (Cantonese) | Part of it was in video 1 bookmarked 25/9/17, the rest was found for the index; oh wait, video 3 was also bookmarked on that day; check lyrics match | video, video 2, video 3 | No memory at all, not even the idea of a 15-second video with an excerpt of a song found 25/9
    57. 许当凯的“玫瑰香”(闽南语) | Henry Hsu (Xu Dangkai)'s "Scent of roses" (Min Nan) | Bookmarked 26/9/17 | video | No memory whatsoever
    58. 林淑蓉的“借问你的良心何在”(闽南语) | Anna Lin (Lin Shurong)'s "Where is your kindness?" (Min Nan) | As illustrated in this Facebook note, this video bookmarked 26/9/17 is a news report containing excerpts of two songs from year 3, this song, and the following one; videos and lyrics found for index | video | No memory at all of a news video
    59. 林淑蓉的“相见不如怀念” | Anna Lin (Lin Shurong)'s "Meeting is not like missing each other" | See above, lyrics both bookmarked 7/4/19 | video, lyrics with minimal differences, lyrics 2 with one character too many and a couple probable 常s spelled 长 | Same as above

    61. 高天鹤和何琪的“梦回草桥“(梁山伯祝英台新传的主题曲) | Gao Tianhe and He Qi's "Dreaming back to the grass bridge" (Main theme song of "New biography of the Butterfly Lovers") | I have two now-gone videos bookmarked 26/9/17, one titled 费玉清 凌波 张菲 《梁山伯祝英台 插曲(1)》, the other one with the two last names swapped and the (1) changed to (2); on 1/5/18, I found they were gone, and replaced them both with video 1; "Butterfly lovers" is a Chinese legend about two people, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai; the gone videos were probably two episodes of a series inspired by that legend; I just assume the two videos here are the same as those, since they are inspired by the same drama and have the same numbers for the episodes; video 1 has 3 songs: the opening (0:05-02:09), which is this item's song, a background song (18:53-21:12), and the closing theme (32:43-35:16), and those two will be the next two items; video 2 has no additional songs; making the index, I found out video 1 had only the first half of the song, so I looked for the full thing, IN VAIN; video 3 has part of the remaining half; then I give you lyrics | video, video 2, video 3, lyrics | No memory at all
    62. 陈梦希的“上学路上”(梁山伯祝英台新传的插曲) | Chen Mengxi's "On the road of higher studies" (Intermezzo of "New biography of the Butterfly Lovers") | Cfr. above; apparently Youtube doesn't have the song alone, and I'm sick of Chinese ads, so I'll leave you with the full song in the bacground of dialogue and the lyrics | video, lyrics | No recollection
    63. 许嵩的“蝴蝶的时间”(梁山伯祝英台新传片尾曲) | Xu Song's "Time of butterflies" (Closing theme song of "New biography of the Butterfly Lovers") | Cfr. two above; video 2 has full song, of which video 1 has only the start (the rest is repetitions though), and then lyrics | video, video 2, lyrics | No memory whatsoever

    69. 高原的“心在高原” | Gao Yuan's "Heart on the plateau" | Bookmarked 26/9/17 | video | No memory at all, would definitely remember a song whose artist has part of the title as his name (he's literally called "plateau") :)
    70. 韩宝仪的“一支小雨伞” | Han Baoyi's "A little umbrella" | Bookmarked 26/9/17 | video | Well, the tune I knew, but I was completely surprised by it beginning with 雨水 and having a Japanese part at the end
    71. 岳雷的“一支小雨伞” | Yue Lei's "A little umbrella" | Same as above; video 2 bookmarked 4/4/19 | video, video 2 | Remembered there was a Mandarin version very close to the original, not really the lyrics though
    72. 凤飞飞的“雨的旋律” | Feng Feifei's "Tune of rain" | Video bookmarked 26/9/17 has this and another song mixed together | video, 4:13-5:06 + 5:40-7:23 | No memory at all; 5:06-5:40 is verse 1 of song 99 of year 3

  • Hakka song le best; this is a series of Hakka songs posted by Ånton Xiè on the Facebook group Hakka Verse between August and October 2018; being it basically impossible to retrieve every Hakka song that was posted on that group, I decided to include this list as a tribute; I will only give the titles, because all of these, unless otherwise specified, are by Ånton Xiè (谢可为) and in Hailu Hakka (海陆丰客家话); I saved all the posts in a Facebook note, including doubles, so I'm going to give you those links; when I have a multiple post, I give the number in the list in the note for the later posts;

    4. 刘半农的“教我不想她” | Liu Banning's "Teach me to not think of her" | Bookmarked lyrics 21/10/17 | video, lyrics | No memory at all; note that, if I understand correctly, this is a poem set to music, so there may be multiple tunes to this

    7. 张悬的“宝贝” | Zhang Xuan's "Baby" | Cfr. above | lyrics, video | No memory whatsoever

(Some kind of Hakka) | Bookmarked 23/11/17 | video | Oh I remember this very well, and how it is a deformation of a song not far from this one, and the lyrics I give is me trying to preserve as much sensible difference from the original as I can; but this will be detailed in a blog post where I have song 84 from year 2, song 87 from year 3, the song below, and this deformation; for the moment, there is this Hakka Verse post by me, where the other song was posted; as for who this is, the video gives EwatLing in what would seem to be an "Artist" field
    14. 周杰伦的“不能说的秘密” | Jay Chou (Zhou Jielun)'s "Secret I cannot tell" | Bookmarked 23/11/17 | video | Surprised to see another song with this title, didn't remember it at all

    30. 庞龙的“两只蝴蝶” | Pang Long's "Two butterflies" | Same as above | video | What a surprise to recognize the intro from year 1 song 57, and find the tune was almost the same, but the language was Mandarin and the lyrics had nothing to do with the Hakka lyrics of the year 1 song :), I wonder if my friend suggested it because I sung the Hakka song
    31. 任静和付笛声的“爱到春潮滚滚来” | Ren Jing and Fu Disheng's "Loving till the spring tides come rolling" | Lyrics bookmarked 6/6/18, video bookarmed 7/6/18, video 2 found 9/4/18 | lyrics, video, video 2 | Don't remember the song specifically, but very well remember how the now-gone video 1 of song 142 from year 2 had the video of this song and the audio of the other song, then I looked for the lyrics to the title the video gave, and found the bookmarked lyrics for this song, then it was my Chinese friend from above who realized the song in the audio wasn't the one of the title, and told me in the evening, so the next day I bookmarked the video
    32. 方文山的“我问天” | Fang Wenshan's "I ask heaven" | Bookmarked lyrics and video 8/6/18, with next song's lyrics in between | lyrics, video | Remember there being several versions of the other songs with this title, don't remember finding one with a completely different tune but the same title
    33. 杨千嬅和任贤齐的“花好月圆夜” | Miriam Yeung (Yang Qianhua) and Richie Jen (Ren Xianqi)'s "Night of blooming flowers and full moon" | Lyrics bookmarked 8/6/18 | lyrics, lyrics 2, video GONE, replacement | Convinced it was supposed to share the usual tune (e.g. song 123 of year 3), but that is not the case apparently; also, it doesn't even share the title 我问天 I thought it did with that song :)
    34. 张少林的“涯问天”(惠阳客家话) | Zhang Shaolin's "I ask heaven" (Huiyang Hakka) | Bookmarked 8/6/18 | video | Didn't remember a Hakka version of this…

    38. 赞貂蝉的“??” | Zan Diaochan's "??" | Same as above | video GONE, replacement, lyrics GONE, replacement | No memory at all, also what is the title? "Intermezzo in such-and-such TV drama"? Maybe deciphering that blog post containing the lyrics would help, but I don't have time now
    39. 阳关三叠 | Yang Guan San Die (Three refrains of the Yang pass) | Looked for it on 9/6/18 because it's mentioned in song 25 from year 2 | video GONE, replacement | Remember looking for it, but nothing more
    40. 小耿的“风干我的悲伤” | Xiao Gang's "Wind drying up my sadness" | Lyrics bookmarked 10/6/18, video found for index | lyrics, video | No memory; also, the lyrics link has a whole album including 陪着我一直到世界的尽头, which is why I found it; I won't include the whole album because I assume I just scrolled to the song I was looking for and stumbled upon the one song that was before that, which is this song
    41. 胡杨林的“香水有毒”(粤语) | Hu Yanglin's "Poisonous perfume" (Cantonese) | Lyrics and video bookmarked 10/6/18 | video, lyrics, video 2 | Surprised to see a Cantonese cover of this song… what? The first line of the chorus is left as in the original!

    44. 旭日阳刚的“怀念青春” | Xuri Yanggang's "Missing youth" | On 13/6/18, in my Facebook home page, I saw a post with a video having part of this as a background music; the poster is now gone from Facebook, and so is the post; however, I bookmarked the post that day, and found lyrics and a video, the latter of which is now gone and has been replaced for the index | video, lyrics | Given the account in the dating section, it will be no surprise that I remember this song; in fact, I knew part of the chorus by heart, though I remembered 昨天在记忆里成根发芽 instead of with 生; note that the lyrics have trouble fitting the tune, and don't really match the video too well
    45. 「Komoma」的“粉色个回忆”(某种客家话) | 「Komoma」's "Pink memories" (Some kind of Hakka) | Facebook post bookmarked 15/6/18 | post, no video AFAIK - except the one in the post of course | No memory at all, I expected it to be the next song

    50. 徐小凤的“望穿秋水”(粤语) | Paula Tsui (Xu Xiaofeng)'s "With baited breath" (Cantonese) | Bookmarked lyrics 6/8/18 | video, lyrics | No memory at all; it's curious how looking for 徐小凤 望穿秋水 produces another song, and the linked video gives "Paula Tsui" as the singer; it's also curious how Ceoi became Tsui - and if you only know Xu, it's even weirder, so much you think Paula Tsui and Xu Xiaofeng are two different people :)
    51. 黄思婷的“为你心疼”(闽南语) | Huang Siting's "Heartache for you" (Min Nan) | Lyrics bookmarked 7/8/18 | lyrics, video | That lyrics link is great; I mean, it has a whole album of songs, with characters according to MoE regulations, and romanization, and even videos!

  • Year 8
    1. 老司机带带我,面包车版(云南神曲) | Mr. Driver give me a ride, minibus version (super-catchy Yunnan song) | Suggested by a friend on 6/10/19 along with lyrics of next song | video LOST | Remember it with part of the tune and lyrics
    2. 老司机带带我,奔驰车版(云南神曲) | Mr. Driver give me a ride, Mercedes version (super-catchy Yunnan song) | Same as above, or rather he suggested the video and I found the wrong lyrics | lyrics | No memory of version 2, I thought he suggested another song, but apparently this is not the case
    3. 王理文的“你和我最天造地设” | Wang Liwen's "That you are with me is the most created by nature thing" | On 15/10/18, I found a video which contained: part of song 6 from year 7 0:31-0:44, part of a Japanese song starting "Sayonara nante nai yo" 1:11-1:21, part of this song 1:41(now 1:42)-1:52, part of the next song 1:52-2:02, part of presumably the song after that 2:23-2:37; the video was replaced 6/1/19 with a video with the same title; I bookmarked all the songs that day, of course, with only lyrics for the last one, except I wasn't able to find the next song apparently, which I shazammed just now :) | replaced video, song video GONE, replacement | Remember the big video and the part of this song in it, lyrics only vaguely
    4. NZBZ的“蹦吧蹦吧” | NZBZ's "Jump! Jump!" | Cfr. above | lyrics, video | Remember big video, but not this song specifically

    6. 唔好救我啦(“爱无药可救”的粤语协防) | Don't cure me (Cantonese parody of "No medicine can cure love") | Now-gone video found 21/1/19 contained most of the Cantonese part of this, and part of the next song, as background music | video | Essentially by heart; I transcribed the part in the video as «Ngo mou dak gau la / Gau m dou la / Nei mou gau ngo la / Diim gau lei dou gau m dou», which is most of the Cantonese part, with "m hou" contracting to "mou", apparently
    7. 王以太的“目不转睛” | Cfr. above; there used to be a video 2, but it's now gone; the gone video mentioned above had a deformation (both lyric- and tune-wise) of part of this song, an attempt at transcribing the lyrics of which will be included here | video GONE, replacement, lyrics | Partly by heart; the part in the video was, in my own Pinyin approximation, «Hey, / Wo' zhen zai kanzhe ni kanzhe ni / Mu' bu zhonjing / Ni' jiao de hai zhen deyi zhe z... / E-b hhh de shen ling Ni' bue zai kan sh...», where apostrophese denote truncations of airflow (i.e. unreleased glottal stops), so basically part of the chorus with the girl singing it getting stuck at the "E-hhh", and getting the tune a little wrong btw
    8. 阿运的“爱无药可救” | A-Yun's "No medicine can cure love" | Asked about Y8S6 on Quora on 21/1/19, and on 1/2/19 J.R.Leung replied, providing both the video for the above song, and the video given here | video | Not much, almost nothing
    9. 冯提莫的“Despacito”(有合唱的版本) | Feng Timo's "Despacito" (version with chorus) | Appeared in my Youtube home on 7/2/19 | video | Definitely remember it, and the fact there are two versions, and this one has a chorus which is partly the original, partly a terrible mispronunciation of this French version (sung so badly I couldn't even recognize it as French until I sided it with the French at my multi-version Despacito post by pure chance); I made a comparison of the versions on Facebook in a note
    10. 冯提莫的“Despacito”(没合唱的版本) | Feng Timo's "Despacito" (version without chorus) | Either in my Youtube home or in related links to a Timo Feng song on 8/2/19 | video | Cfr. above
    11. 冯提莫的“生僻字” | Feng Timo's "Esoteric Chinese characters" | Same as above | video | Vaguely remember a third Feng Timo song (besides Despacito and the following song) which I barely listened to

    17. 叶启田的“爱人佗位去”(闽南语) | Ye Qitian's "Where did you go my love?" (Min Nan) | Probably hit this while looking for song 176 from year 2, bookmarked 2 videos 21/2/19 | video, video 2 | Remember it, and how video 2 has a fixed image with the lyrics
    18. 叶启田的“心爱佗位去”(闽南语) | Ye Qitian's "Where did you go my darling?" (Min Nan) | Same as above or close, bookmarking date the same | video, video 2 | Remember it and its super-old-vinyl-like sound, and how video 2 has a fixed image with the lyrics

    23. 邓丽君的“襟裳岬” | Teresa Teng (Deng Lijun)'s "Erimo Misaki (Cape Erimo)" | Bookmarked lyrics 1/3/19 | lyrics, video | I suspect the Japanese version may be in the concert video which gave me, among others, song 49 of year 2; no memory of this song though
    24. SF9的“O Sole Mio" | SF9's "O Sole Mio" | Stumbled upon it while looking for the actual Chinese version of the Neapolitan song 'O Sole Mio on 23/3/19, bookmarked lyrics | lyrics | Yeah I remember it
    25. 我的太阳(“'O Sole Mio”的中文版) | My sun (Chinese version of "'O Sole Mio") | Cfr. above, didn't bookmark this for some reason | lyrics | Remember how some parts have a hard time fitting the tune, and how some parts don't convince me meaning-wise
    26. 许冠杰的“半斤八两”(粤语) | Xu Guanjie's "Six of one, half a dozen of the other" (Cantonese) | Found a mention of it on 25/3/19 somewhere on Quora as a song in vernacular Cantonese (as opposed to the usual Cantonese-pronounced Mandarin of Cantopop), bookmarked video | video | Remember how I found it, and the song vaguely
    27. 洪荣宏的“暗淡的月”(闽南语) | Hong Ronghong's "Dim moon" (Min Nan) | Ran into the lyrics on 30/3/19 while looking for undatable 13, then found video as well, after the next song | lyrics, video GONE, replacement which repeats 不再 and 吹 | Not sure if I remembered about the Min version, but I did remember the undatable's tune, partly
    28. 岳雷的“暗淡的月” | Yue Lei's "Dim Moon" | Cfr. above; this is the same person singing different lyrics to a slower version of the same tune | video | Not sure if I remembered about the differences, but I did remember the undatable's tune, partly
    29. 岳雷的“暗淡的月” | Yue Lei's "Dim Moon" | This is kind of a hybrid between undatable 13 and the previous song, again sung by the same person, and bookmarked 30/3/19 | video | Same as above
    30. 曾心梅的“暗淡的月”(闽南语) | Ceng Xinmei's "Dim Moon" | Sounds like two songs above, but nope, the lyrics are different; same bookmark date | video, video 2 | Definitely didn't remember differences between Min versions; video 2 has slightly different lyrics, but the difference is too minimal to separate them
    31. 陈松龄的“月儿弯弯照九洲“(粤语) | Chen Songling's "The crescent moon shines on the nine provinces" (Cantonese) | Stumbled upon this on 3/4/19 while looking for song 74 from year 3, bookmarked video | video GONE, replacement | Remember finding it

    33. 童丽的“望春风” | Tong Li's "Toward the spring wind" | Seems I found a Mandarin-only video on 4/4/19 | video GONE, replacement | Didn't remember finding the Mandarin verse on its own, expected a Min beginning

    36. 曹寅的“愿你安好“ | Cao Yin's "I want you safe and sound" | Cfr. above | video GONE, replacement | Vaguely remember one starting with 无缘的, but it might be fabricated by rehearing it today
    37. ???的“把波儿奔波儿把” | ???'s "Baborbenborba" | Cfr. above; no idea who wrote this or what that title means, in fact, I invented the title based on the beginning of the part in the big video | video | Definitely remember the “我是 baborben 他是 benborba baborbenborba” that started the part in the big video; I even asked about it on Quora

    2. ???的“汝做么仰 sam jan“(某种客家话) | ???'s "Why are you so «sam-jan»?" (Some kind of Hakka) | Same watch party as previous item; this time, I self-sent the title as given in romanization; not sure if the video had it in characters too | Video to be located | Welp…

    24. DESPACITO VERSI HAKKA INDO | video | On 24/3/20, I looked for more versions of Despacito, and found this Hakka one, and a Cantonese one, though curiously no Min one – will I do one? Back to the Hakka though: I posted it here at Hakka Verse, and now I saw it's Smule so… lyrics here;

    31. “死不了的中国” | "Immortal China" | video | Found 16/5/20, perhaps as a byproduct of looking for 国民革命歌 when I translated it to English (has that been placed in this list btw? I wonder how the heck I dated it…) | no recollection at all;
    32. 李妹香港的“囥裝个双翼”(某种客家话) | May's "Invisible wings" (Some kind of Hakka) | Sent to me on Hakka group 19/7/20 as a reply to undatable 4, which is another Hakka cover of the same Mandarin song in the next item, looked at it on 20/7/20 and tried to characterify the lyrics | Of course I remember it, it's 21/7/20 as I write :);
    33. 张韶涵的“隐形的翅膀” | Angela Zhang's "Invisible wings" | video | Decided to include it here on 21/7, just because of the previous item;
    34. Some song that got lost to Facebook, where I met it on Hakka Verse at 19:40 on 26/8/20;
    35. Some Hakka song found as the soundtrack of a video flagged as inappropriate on 16/9/20; probably the same post as this one;
    36. No idea which song of this watch party I stumbled upon on 26/9/20;

WORK IN PROGRESS NOTICE
At the moment, for Year 1 I have the left column complete and the right column still a doublet of the left one except for the first two songs, while for Year 2 songs which have an internal link and no video link in the above index, I only have the left column. It takes ages, which is why I'm posting like this. The indexes are all complete, save maybe for the ongoing year 9. There are:
  • 61 songs from year 1;
  • 178 songs from year 2, including the 38 already present;
  • 27 undatable songs;
  • 152 from year 3, modulo any doublets I uncover while gathering the lyrics;
  • 13 from year 4, with the same caveat as above;
  • 4 from year 5;
  • 82 from year 6;
  • 23 from the "Hakka song le best" series of Hakka songs;
  • 59 from year 7;
  • 73 from year 8;
  • 37 (but two are watch parties to be expanded) from year 9;
  • 11 from year 10;
  • 12 from year 11.
With the ongoing PhD, time is scarce, but I'll try to keep gathering lyrics.

义勇军进行曲(video

起来!不愿做奴隶的人们!
把我们的血肉,
筑成我们新的长城!
中华民族到了最危险的时候,
每个人被迫着发出最后的吼声:
起来!起来!起来!
我们万众一心,
冒着敌人的炮火,前进!
冒着敌人的炮火,前进!
前进!前进!进!


March of the Volunteers

Arise! People who don't wish to be slaves!
Our blood and flesh
Let us build into our new Great Wall!
The Chinese people has reached its most dangerous time,
Every person, forced, is sending out their last cry:
Arise! Arise! Arise!
We, millions with one heart,
Defy the enemy's fire, march on!
Defy the enemy's fire, march on!
March on! March on! March on! On!




崔健的“一无所有”(video)

我曾经问个不休
你何时跟我走
可你却总是笑我
一无所有
我要给你我的追求
还有我的自由
可你却总是笑我
一无所有

噢…你何时跟我走
噢…你何时跟我走

脚下这地在走
身边那水在流
可你却总是笑我
一无所有
为何你总笑个没够
为何我总要追求
难道在你面前我永远
是一无所有

噢…你何时跟我走
噢…你何时跟我走

脚下这地在走
身边那水在流
脚下这地在走
身边那水在流

告诉你我等了很久
告诉你我最后的要求
我要抓起你的双手
你这就跟我走
这时你的手在颤抖
这时你的泪在流
莫非你是正在告诉我
你爱我一无所有

噢…你这就跟我走
噢…你这就跟我走

脚下这地在走
身边那水在流
脚下这地在走
身边那水在流

噢…你这就跟我走
噢…你这就跟我走
噢…你这就跟我走
噢…你这就跟我走
噢…你这就跟我走
噢…你这就跟我走

噢…你这就跟我走
噢…你这就跟我走


“I have nothing”, by Cui Jian

I once asked without stopping
When you would go with me
But you always laughed that I
Had nothing
I want to give you my wooing
And my freedom
But you always laugh that I
Have nothing

O… when will you go with me?
O… when will you go with me?

Under our feet the ground is going
By our side that water is flowing
But you always laugh that I
Have nothing
Why do you never have enough of laughing?
Why do I always have to woo [you]?
Is it possible that in front of you I’ll always
Have nothing?

O… when will you go with me?
O… when will you go with me?

Under our feet the ground is going
By our side that water is flowing
Under our feet the ground is going
By our side that water is flowing

I tell you I’ve waited very long
I tell you my last request
I want to grab your two hands
And that you go with me now
Now your hands are trembling
Now your tears are flowing
Could it be that you’re telling me
You love my having nothing?

O… that you go with me now
O… that you go with me now

Under our feet the ground is going
By our side that water is flowing
Under our feet the ground is going
By our side that water is flowing

O… that you go with me now
O… that you go with me now
O… that you go with me now
O… that you go with me now
O… that you go with me now
O… that you go with me now

O… that you go with me now
O… that you go with me now




王杰的“是否我真的一无所有”(video, blog post)

天上飞过是谁的心
海上漂流的是谁的遭遇
受伤的心不想言语
过去未来都像一场梦境
痛苦和美丽留给孤独的自己
未知的旋律又响起

是否我真的一无所有
黑暗之中沉默地探索你的手
是否我真的一无所有
明天的我又要到哪里停泊

多少冷漠我都尝尽
多少回忆藏在我的眼底
遥远的你是否愿意
为我轻轻点起一丝暖意
痛苦和美丽留给孤独的自己
未知的旋律又响起

是否我真的一无所有
黑暗之中沉默地探索你的手
是否我真的一无所有
明天的我又要到哪里停泊

是否我真的一无所有
心中的火再没有一点光和热
是否我真的一无所有
昨夜的梦会永远留在心中

是否我真的一无所有
心中的火再没有一点光和热
是否我真的一无所有
昨夜的梦会永远留在心中


"Do I really have nothing?", by Wang Jie aka Dave Wong

Whose is the heart flying through the sky?
Whose is the misfortune drifting on the sea?
A wounded heart doesn’t want to speak
Past and future both seem like a dream
Leave pain and beauty to the lonely me
The unknown melody starts sounding once more

Do I really have nothing
Silently searching for your hand in the dark?
Do I really have nothing
Where will I anchor myself tomorrow?

How much coldness I have experienced
How many memories hidden in the bottom of my eyes
Your, far away, are you willing
To gently start lighting a thread of warmth for me?
Leave pain and beauty to the lonely me
The unknown melody starts sounding once more

Do I really have nothing
Silently searching for your hand in the dark?
Do I really have nothing
Where will I anchor myself tomorrow?

Do I really have nothing?
Does the fire in [my] heart no longer have a bit of light and warmth?
Do I really have nothing?
I’ll always keep tonight’s dream in my heart.

Do I really have nothing?
Does the fire in [my] heart no longer have a bit of light and warmth?
Do I really have nothing?
I’ll always keep tonight’s dream in my heart.




张雨生的“大海”(video)

从那遥远海边
慢慢消失的你,
本来模糊的脸,
竟然渐渐清晰。
想要说些什么,
又不知从何说起,
只有把它放在心底。

茫然走在海边,
看那潮来潮去,
徒劳无功想把
每朵浪花记清。
想要说生爱你,
却被吹散在风里。
猛然回头你在那里。

如果大海能够
唤回曾经的爱,
就让我用一生等待。
如果深情往事
你已不在留恋,
就让它随风飘远。

如果大海能够
带走我的哀愁
就像带走每条河流,
所有受过的伤,
所有流过的泪,
我的爱,
请全部带走。


“Ocean”, by Zhang Yusheng

You, who from that seashore far away
Are slowly disappearing,
Originally a fuzzy face,
Now bit by bit you become sharp.
I want to say something,
But I don’t know what to start from,
I just put this in the bottom of my heart.

I walk blankly on the beach,
See the tide coming and going,
And in vain I try
To remember clearly every spray.
I want to say I love you,
But it would be blown away in the wind.
I suddenly turn back and you are there.

If the ocean can
Restore the old love,
Let me wait for a lifetime.
If a past of deep affection
You are no longer reluctant to abandon,
Let it drift far away with the wind.

If the ocean can
Bring away all my sadness
As it brings away every river,
All the wounds I’ve received,
All the tears I’ve cried,
O my love,
Please take everything away.




张雨生的“我的未来不是梦”(video)

你是不是像我,在太阳下低头,
流着汗水默默辛苦的工作?
你是不是像我,就算受了冷漠,
也不放弃自己想要的生活?

你是不是像我,整天忙着追求,
追求一种意想不到的温柔?
你是不是像我,曾经茫然失措,
一次一次徘徊在十字街头?

因为我不在乎 别人怎么说。
我从来没有忘记我
对自己的承诺,
对爱的执著 。

我知道我的未来不是梦,
我认真的过每一分钟,
我的未来不是梦,
我的心跟着希望在动!

“My future is not a dream”, by Zhang Yusheng

Are you like me, bowing your head under the sun,
Sweating and working hard but silently?
Are you like me, [who,] even if I suffered coldness,
Would not give up the life I want?

Are you like me, busy all day pursuing,
Pursuing a kind of unimaginable tenderness?
Are you like, once totally lost,
Pacing back and forth at the crossroads once and again?

Because I don’t care how others speak.
I’ve never forgotten my
Promises to myself,
[My] attachment to love.

I know my future is not a dream,
I’ll pass every minute seriously,
My future is not a dream,
My heart is beating following hope!

My future is not a dream,
I’ll pass every minute seriously,
My future is not a dream,
My heart is beating following hope!
Is beating following hope!




王杰的“上帝也哭泣”(video)

我即将闭上我的眼睛
此刻一片黑暗看不清楚
不知道是谁在身边哭泣
是谁轻言在叹息
此刻我感觉好像是上帝在哭泣

我虽然已经离你远去
只是心里还是放不下你
因为那人间已变得无情
连那六月也会下雪
原谅我永远不能再给你春天

哦!这样的世界
太阳何时出现
看了上帝也都会
流下眼泪

因为杰的心就是你的心
问你是否真的能了解
连上帝祂也都在哭泣
为何人们不愿付出
真情意

问我的世界为何在下雪
太阳何时才能再出现
连上帝祂也都在哭泣
为何这个世界充满
充满冷漠的脸


Dave Wong’s “Even God cries”

I am about to close my eyes,
Now, in the darkness, I cannot see clearly,
I don’t know who is crying next to me,
Who is softly sighing.
I now feel like it was God crying!

Although I have already gone far from you,
I however still cannot let go of you in my heart,
Since the world’s become cruel,
There is snowfall even in June!
Forgive I can never give spring back to you.

Wo-oh In a world like this
When will the sun appear?
If God were to see this, he too Would shed tears!

Because Dave [Wong]'s heart is just your heart,
I ask if you can really understand.
Even God is crying!
Why do people not want to bear
Feelings true?

Why is it snowing in my world?
When can the sun rise again?
Even God is crying!
Why is this world full,
Full of cold faces?




王杰的“心痛”(video, blog post)

什么是爱?
什么又是无奈?
无言的相对,
我似乎已明白.
慢慢走向你的面前,
握紧你的手,
将忍着眼涙对你说声
"珍重".

以为我们的爱
会流传在世间,
以为我们的誓言
会直到永远.
谁知昨夜梦里的你
早已经不是你?
从此我也不再是 自己!

以为远方的风
能吹散我的痛,
以为黄昏的天边
有渴望的温柔:
只是这颗对你的心.
从此没有人能懂
带着我心痛的梦 飘流!


“Heartache”, by Dave Wong

What is love?
What can’t be helped?
We face each other silently,
I seem to have understood.
I move slowly towards your front,
I hold your hand tight,
Avoiding tears, I’ll say to you
“Goodbye”.

I think our love
Will spread across the world,
I think our oath
Will last forever.
Who knows the you of tonight’s dream
Already is no longer you?
From now on I’ll no longer be myself!

I’ll no longer be myself!

I think the wind of a far-off place
Can blow away my pain,
I think the sky of dusk
Has the tenderness [I] crave for:
Only this suits your heart.
From now on nobody can understand
[I], carrying my dream of heartache, drift!




王杰的“孤星”(video)

天空没有一片云
眼中没有泪滴
不回头不说一句
要拿出自己拼到底
紧握的手永远也不会躲
不管多少险恶会来找我
倔强的心什么也不想留
任凭在风中 哦

天地只剩一个我
昂然孤独地走
多少心都已离去
多少人还在看着戏
是否我早已习惯
一种名字叫孤单
是否我注定挂在
最冷的夜空那段

别问我 有没有明天
就让我 一个人面对
我的梦 不会再是一场错

别问我 知心还有谁
就让我 留着你的吻
我的歌 将永远陪着你走


“Lone star”, by Dave Wong

In the sky there isn’t a cloud
In [my] eyes there are no tears
[I] don’t turn back, [I] don’t say a word
[I] want to take out myself and fight to the end
Hands that hold tight can’t hide forever
No matter how much evil comes to look for me
[My] stubborn heart will never want to stay
At his own will in the wind oh

In Heaven and Earth there’s just one I left
Proud and alone, [I] walk
How many hearts have already gone
How many people are still watching drama
Have I got used
To be called loneliness?
Am I doomed to hang from
That coldest corner of night sky?

Don’t ask if I have a tomorrow
Let me face [my future] alone
My dream won’t be an error again

Don’t ask if I have an intimate friend
Let me keep your kiss
My song will always walk with you




王杰的“上帝也哭泣”(粤语版, video))

谁始终不理是谁呐喊?
夜里灯光仿似不再灿烂。
这悲痛城市,一息间暗淡,
旧时人们的笑颜。
破灭时,随落泊感叹甜梦已飘散。

谁飘涌这里未能别去?
被困孤岛仿似早已判罪,
争执与迷惘,归家的眼泪,
为何犹豫的怨谁?
却未明城内每一个同样心碎。

哦 看上帝哭泣,
人们苦难时日,
骤看苍生,每双眼
同在啜泣!

模糊的光阴,似下雪的心,
同样晦暗今已染着尘。
无声光阴,殒落了的心,
求你会指引亮透天暗昏。

模糊的光阴,似下雪的心,
藏在每个失意过路人,
人声纷纷岁月里飞奔,
同在困恼抖震害怕
一生扑进黑暗!


“Even God cries”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese version

Who is it who never thinks about who is shouting?
The light in the night seems to no longer be bright.
This grieving city, gloomy in a breath,
The smile of old people.
Once they’re broken, with a frustrated sigh sweet
                         [dreams have already drifted away.
What drifting surge here hasn’t been able to go elsewhere?
The besieged island seems to have been condemned,
Fighting and confused, tears that go back home,
Why do you hesitate to complain to someone?
But in the unknown city everyone is similarly heartbroken.

Oh See God cry,
When people suffer,
You suddenly look at the people, and every pair of eyes
Is sobbing at the same time!

A fuzzy time, like a heart where it snows,
Thus gloomy and dark has now been catching dust.
A speechless time, a heart that has died,
Ask you to guide light through the sky’s gloomy twilight.

A fuzzy time, like a heart where it snows,
Hidden in every frustrated passer-by,
[In] numerous cries, flying fast through the years,
It’s in difficulties and trembling, and fears
A life has thrown itself into the darkness!




王杰的“冷冷的太阳”(video)

孤独的心
从不想改变什么
冷漠的眼
已经看过太多虚伪
只有你能给我
真实温暖的感受
走出了冰冷的角落

孤独的心
从不想改变什么
冷漠的眼
已经看过太多虚伪
再没有一个人
爱我如此地深刻
让我从黑暗中逃脱

我就像一个冷冷的太阳
曾经也有颗狂热的心房
但是一次一次受的创伤
失去燃烧的力量

我是冷冷的太阳
曾经也有颗狂热的心房
因为你
熔化心中冰霜


“Cold sun”, by Dave Wong

[My] lonely heart
Never wants to change anything
[My] cold eyes
Have seen too many lies
Only you can give me
A truly warm feeling
To let me come out of this freezing cold corner

[My] lonely heart
Never wants to change anything
[My] cold eyes
Have seen too many lies
There won’t be anyone else
To love me so deeply
As to let me flee from the darkness

I’m like a cold sun
I once also had a madly hot heart
But with the wounds [it] suffered time and again
[It] has lost the power to burn

I’m a cold sun
I once also had a madly hot heart
Because you
Melt the frost in [my] heart




王杰的“在我们的世界里”(video)

* 让你永远快乐
是我唯一的心愿
是否你已经不在乎我
轻易把我忘记
为何你却不愿回头看看
我是否在哭泣
告诉你 我真的爱你

*

# 在我们的世界里
是否已不再拥有过去
为何总在这星夜里
感觉失意
在我的世界里
每天都回忆在我们的过去
每天不断地到处寻找你
和我的回忆
为何相信你 为何相信你
为何相信你 为何相信你
哦 你

*

#

为何你却不愿回头看看
我是否在哭泣
告诉你 我真的爱你


“In our world”, by Dave Wong

* To make you happy forever
Is my only wish
Do you already not care for me
You’ve forgotten me easily
But why don’t you want to turn back and see
If I’m crying?
I tell you I really love you

*

# In our world
Do we really already no longer have a past?
Why do [I] always, in this starry night,
Feel frustrated?
In my world
Every day I remember our past
Every day I non-stoppingly everywhere
And my memories [search for you
Why do I believe you? Why do I believe you?
Why do I believe you? Why do I believe you?
Oh you

*

#

But why don’t you want to turn back and see
If I’m crying?
I tell you I really love you




王杰的“心痛”(粤语版, video, blog post

漫漫长夜
谁在独自心痛
那远处的光
似是她的呼唤
昨日是谁留下
我这痴痴的心爱
用我最暖的手将你紧
抱拥

无论北风怎吹
也吹不开双手
让我风霜的笑脸
永荡在你心中
但那美景不会经常
为何仍然分离
含泪无语问苍天
痛心

漫漫长夜
谁在独自心痛
那远处的光
似是她的呼唤
昨日是谁留下
我这痴痴的心爱
用我最暖的手将你紧
抱拥

无论北风怎吹
也吹不开双手
让我风霜的笑脸
永荡在你心中
但那美景不会经常
为何仍然分离
含泪无语问苍天

你那天真的心
仍荡漾在心中
看你沧桑的哭脸
悔恨我的当初
为何偏偏相见一会
但却仍然是分离
原谅我让你独个
飘泊


“Heartache”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese Version)

In the long night
Who’s in solitary heartache?
That far-off light
Seems to be her call
Yesterday who left
Me this mad love?
With my very warm hand I thee tightly
Hold

No matter how the north wind blows
It will not blow [our] two hands open
Let me, the smile of wind and snow,
Always move in your heart
But that beautiful scenery won’t always [be there]
Why are we still separated?
Tearful, speechless, asking Heaven,
Grieving

In the long night
Who’s in solitary heartache?
That far-off light

Hold

No matter how the north wind blows

Let me, the smile of wind and snow,
Always move in your heart
But that beautiful scenery won’t always [be there]
Why are we still separated?
Tearful, speechless, asking Heaven,

That naïve heart of yours
Still creates ripples in [my] heart
Seeing your crying face of great changes
I regret my beginning
Why do I keep seeing you for moments
But am still separated [from you]?
Forgive that I let you alone
Wander




王杰的“我如何知道你爱我”(粤语版, video

* 夜间的星星不必再数
内心的哭声不必再吐
用我最真最深的倾诉
愿意搏取她的欢心
谁知她竟得轻轻笑声
回身她只得沉默的一句
无奈她说不可以
谁知道她竟推托

# 如今只得我
流浪天边一角
谁人能给我温暖的感觉

人间的恋爱多变幻
问那悲哀为何偏偏选我
问天雨风哪一方属于我

@ 愿天边的野草笑望
望那可悲可笑可欺的我
回身倒扑在黑夜全为妳
欺骗了我

*

“How do I know you love me?”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese version)

* I don’t need to count night-time stars again
I don’t need to spit out my heart’s crying sound again
With my truest and deepest confession
I want to fight to get her liking
Who’d know she was actually gently laughing?
Turning back she can only stay silent
I can’t help she says she can’t
Who’d know she actually made excuses?

# Now I can only
Wander a corner of sky
Who can give me a warm feeling?

The world’s loves change much
I ask why that sadness insistently chooses me
I ask which of sky, rain and wind belongs to me

@ I want the sky’s wilderness to laugh and look
Look at me, pathetic, ridiculous cheated
I turn and fall on dark night all because you
Have cheated me

王杰的“我如何知道你爱我”(video)

总是在爱恨交错时候
才了解世间冷暖起落
心里最深最深的伤口
有谁能够让它愈合
在希望燃成灰烬以后
让自己撕裂在狂野风中
锁链缠绕的心灵
要如何才能解脱

问你是不是在意我的感受
不要让我连明天都没有

我如何知道你爱我
心中的话没有机会诉说
万家灯火哪一盏属于我
我如何知道你爱我
心中的话究竟有谁能懂
就让那无边无际的黑夜
淹没了我


“How do I know you love me”, by Dave Wong

Always, when love and hate intertwine,
[I] can understand the world’s ups and downs and temperature changes
In my heart there’s a very deep very deep wound
Is there someone who can make it heal?
After hope has burnt to ashes
Let me be torn in a wild wind
[My] heart around which chains wind
How will it be able to free itself?

I ask: do you or not care about my feelings?
Do not let me not exist even tomorrow

How do I know you love me?
There isn’t an opportunity to say [my] heart’s words
Which of those many twinkling lights belongs to me?
How do I know you love me?
In the end who can understand my heart’s words?
So let that sideless, endless, dark night
Drown me




王杰的“如果你真的在乎我”(video)

午夜的城市街头
热闹的霓虹闪烁
为什么内心里
只有虚空
自从你走进生活
日子越来越寂寞
难道是因为爱才让我
忘记了洒脱

曾经我为你写的歌
是否你还记得
那么真实的温柔
能否持续到以后

如果你真的在乎我
请不要在人多的时候
用笑声解释
我只是朋友
如果你真的在乎我
请不要在独处的时候
那么无所谓
让我握着手
却不说爱我


“If you really care about me”, by Dave Wong

[In the] midnight city streets
Lively neon lights flash
Why in my heart
Is there only emptiness?
Since you’ve come into my life
[My] days are more and more lonely
Can that be because love can make me
Forget how to be at ease?

The song I once wrote to you,
Do you still remember it?
Such a real tenderness,
Can it go on till afterwards?

If you really care about me
Please don’t, when we are with many people,
Explain with a laugh
I’m just a friend
If you really care about me
Please don’t, when we’re alone,
So indifferently
Let me hold your hand
But not say you love me




王杰的“我”(video)

独自走在下雨的黑夜里。
是雨?是泪?我也分不清。
每天,每天都会问自己
“今夜梦里会不会哭?”。

我一个人独自守着我的梦,
我只希望躲在无人的角落。
我不在乎别人都在说什么,
我只希望能够不再受伤害。

独自走在走不完的长路,
想要忘记忘不了的人。
每夜,每夜,心碎的边缘,
眼泪已干没人看见。

我不想说,只因谁也不想听,
我已习惯自己说给自己听。
我不想问哪里才能找到爱,
我已习惯自己带自己回家。


“Me”, by Dave Wong

I walk alone in a night when in rains.
Is it rain? Is it tears? I can’t tell.
Every day, every day I ask myself
“Tonight in my dreams will I cry?”.

I’m protecting my dreams on my own, alone,
I only hope to hide in a corner where there’s nobody.
I don’t care what all the others are saying,
I only hope I can avoid being wounded again.

I walk alone on an endless road,
I want to forget the people I can’t forget.
Every night, every night, [on] the border of heartbreak,
My tears dried nobody has seen.

I don’t want to say, just because no-one wants to listen,
I have got used to myself speaking to myself and listening.
I don’t want to ask where I can find love,
I have got used to myself bringing my self back home.




王杰的“心瘾”(粤语, video

当告别了恋人
当我落魄失魂
总会面对黑暗
扬言别再流泪牺牲

* 当我习惯一人
当我在脑海自制兴奋
想起女伴背部美感
眼部那样性感
又会身心解禁
找个外表吸引动人
天性自私的女人

# 人怎会越爱越要恨
我越怕越接近
我越近越觉没有天份
开始总想到先发制人
对方到最后变猎人

@ 人怎会越爱越过份
我越错越要问
我越问越是未称心
当找到服从枕边人
心瘾
又会想偷一个吻





@

身边好友每说到爱情
永远说得漂亮
即使真相哪有胜过一仗

“Heart’s addiction”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

When I bid my lover goodbye
When I lost strength and soul
I’ll always face darkness
I threatened not to shed tears and sacrifice myself again

* When I’m used to being alone
When I’m in an excitement generated by the mind
I remember the beauty of my girlfriend’s back
Her so sexy eyes
And I’ll lift that prohibition with body and mind
I’m looking for an externally appealing
Naturally selfish woman

# How can people, the more they love, the more want to hate?
The more I fear the more I get close
The closer I am the more I feel I have no natural talents
At the beginning I always wanted to be the first striker
The opponent in the end has become the hunter

@ How can people, the more they love, the more exxaggerate?
The more I make mistakes the more I want to ask
The more I ask the more I’m undesired
When I’ll find an obedient pillow partner
[My] heart [will get] addicted [to her]
And I’ll want to steal a kiss

*

@

Every time the close friends at [my] side speak of love
They always speak well
Though actually they’ve never won a battle

S.H.E.的“说你爱我”(video)

下着雨
让湿气稀释回忆
我靠着你不出声音
看着你
看着斑驳的甜蜜
爱你
困住你也困住我自己

我那躲也躲不掉的微妙伤口
隐隐作痛
你那戒也戒不掉的甜蜜借口
也让我精神腐朽

说你爱我
变成一种问候
不如趁早放手
把爱坠落
让满地鲜红
说你爱我
变成一种折磨
不用陪我走到最后
我承担不起你的承诺


“Saying you love me”, by S.H.E.

As it rains
[I] let moisture dilute [my] memories
Leaning on you, I don’t make a sound
Looking at you
Looking at a mottled sweetness
I loving you
I trap you and trap myself

That subtle wound I can never escape
Is a dull pain
That sweet excuse you can never avoid
Also makes my strength decay

Saying you love me
Becomes a kind of greeting
It’s best to part as soon as possible
Drop [this] love
Let all the ground be scarlet
Saying you love me
Becomes a kind of torture
You don’t need to accompany me till the end
I can’t undertake your promise




王杰的“故事的角色"(video)

我不要在破碎的镜头里接受
你的逃避和存在
我从冷漠的角度望去
含泪的眼
该如何表白
现在的记忆
好像一场演不完的戏
让我们
都看得见过去
(所有再次)

我知道故事里的夜
在为谁叹息
我知道故事里的梦
为何不再美丽
因为你已不是你自己
何必告诉我要忘了你
故事的角色
消逝在记忆里
故事的角色
消逝在记忆里


“The role of history”, by Dave Wong

I don’t want to receive in broken frames
Your fleeing or presence
I look from a cold corner
[Your] tearful eyes
How should [I] explain?
The memories of now
Like a never-ending play
Let us
All see the past
(all this again)

The night inside history, I know
For whom it’s sighing
The dreams inside history, I know
Why they’re no longer beautiful
Since you no longer are yourself
Why should you say I’ll forget you?
The role of history
Disappears in memories
The role of history
Disappears in memories




王杰的“故事的角色”(粤语版, video

我竟毅然毅然别了你
为何淡然淡然没悔意
你心里既要我离开你
莫再扮演伤心的女子
回头凝望你
总感觉欠缺以往风姿
陪着你宁失恋千百次

往昔恋爱恋爱像套戏
为何突然突然遇上你
我的理智理智全失去
愿意扮演痴心的汉子
常常缠着你
可惜你却故意相欺
愚弄我如今不想爱你
愚弄我如今不想爱你

爱里欠缺了真爱
再也没意思
察觉到你对我的爱
缺乏那份诚意
今天我决意要离开你
不管过往如何难忘记
当初已变了回忆的故事
当初那个我从今不再痴


“The role of history”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese version)

I actually decided decided to leave you
Why calmly calmly without regrets?
In your heart you already wanted me to leave you
Don’t play the sad girl again
Turning to look at you
I always felt I lacked an old charm
You’d have chosen to be jilted a million times

In the past loving loving was like a play
Why did I suddenly suddenly meet you?
My reason reason is all lost
I want to play the stupid man
Often hugging you
What a pity you deliberately cheated [me]
Cheated, I now don’t want to love you
Cheated, I now don’t want to love you

In love I’ve lacked true love
It was never interesting
I became aware that your love for me
Lacked that part of sincerity
Today I decided I’ll leave you
No matter how hart the past is to forget
At first I’d changed the history of my memories
At first I was that one, now I won’t be infatuated again




王杰的“只有你”(video)

拥挤的人群之中
我不想再回头
孤独的霓虹闪烁
让夜更寂寞
冷雨打在我身上
让我再度想起了从前
哦 BABY
想你的夜

*在我最失意
你拥抱着我
当我在流泪
只有你陪我在哭泣

#不愿沈默
我再也不愿为爱退缩
在我心里的伤痛
又要向谁诉说
不再沈默
也无法挽回你的温柔
就这样的看着你远走

多少次问过自己
在追求些什么
从清晨直到黑夜
我茫然奔走
冷雨冰冻我的心
还会有谁在为我等候
哦 BABY
告诉我

再唱 *,# #
就这样的看着你远走


“Only you”, by Dave Wong

In the thronging crowd
I don’t want to turn back
The lonely neons flash
And make night lonelier
Cold rain beats on my body
Makes me again remember the past
OH baby
Nights I’ve missed you

* When I’m most frustrated
You are hugging me
When I’m crying
Only you are crying with me

# I don’t want to stay silent
I will never want to flinch because of love
The pain in my heart
I also want to tell someone
Won’t stay silent again
I also can’t restore your tenderness
So I’m thus watching you go far away

How many times I’ve asked myself
What I’m pursuing
From early morning till dark night
I run blankly
Cold rain has frozen my heart
Will there still be someone waiting for me?
Oh baby
Tell me

Repeat *, # #
So I’m thus watching you go far away




江蕙的“只有你”(闽南语, video

是风也是雨
拍醒打醒1的梦
为何你遮尔这么无情
放阮1孤单一个人
每日痴情空等
为何你真心对待阮1
痛苦的心情袂当不会平情
1的心啥人会当就会安慰
只有你只有你
我的一生我的情
只为着你一人

1 注意 (dialect note):闽语的人称代词 闽语有七个
人称代替:「我 | guá」,就是「我」;
「你 | lí」,就是「你」;「伊 | i」,就是
「他、她、它」;「阮 | guán / gún」,
意思是「我们、不包括你」;「咱」,
就是「咱们」,意思是「我们、也包括你」;
「恁 | lín」,就是「你们」;「亻因 | in」,
就是「他们」。在歌曲里常常只有一个我
和一个你而没有别人,所以「阮」常常跟「我」
一样、「咱」常常跟「你我」一样。


Only you, by Jiang Hui (Min Nan)

It’s wind and it’s rain
That has awoken my dream
Why do you so cruelly
Leave me lonely and alone?
Every day, infatuated, I wait in vain
Why don’t you treat me sincerely?
I cannot calm down [my] painful feelings
Who can comfort my heart?
Only you only you
My life my affection
Are only for you alone




罗时丰的“爱情的力量”(闽南语, video

爱情的力量
小卒仔有时也会变英雄
爱情的力量
英雄也会为情来悲伤
为情来悲伤
为情来反常
不但前途受影响
人人笑你无路用没有用
啥人无理想
啥人人无苦衷
忍着痛苦在心中
提出勇气搁再再次


The power of love, by Luo Shifeng (Min Nan)

The power of love
A small person sometimes also will become a hero
The power of love
A hero also will become sad for love
Become sad for love
Become crazy for love
Not only the future is influenced
Everyone laughs at you it’s useless
Who doesn’t have ideals?
Who doesn’t have difficulties?
Feeling pain in the heart
Take out courage fight again




忘不了(邓丽君, video

不怕山高
不怕路遥
美丽影响
忘也忘不了
偷看一眼
一切都变得美好
再看一眼
我这一生不变了
我这一生不变了
不怕山高
不怕路遥
美丽影响
忘也忘不了


Can’t forget (Teresa Teng)

I don’t fear that the mountains are high
I don’t fear that the road is long
Your beautiful image
I can never forget
I steal a glance
Everything has become beautiful
I look again
This my life hasn’t changed
This my life hasn’t changed
I don’t fear that the mountains are high
I don’t fear that the road is long
Your beautiful image
I can never forget

你的脸贴在我胸口
泪水早已渗透了我的衣袖
你我都沉默了许久
不该说的话你终于说出口
拥抱过后你转身就走
我笑着说再见心却在颤抖
我已没有勇气问你
离开的理由

想说声爱你已很久
可我从来都没有
以前我对你不够好
我也很难受

只怪自己当初没有抓紧你的手
失去了你我才知道你有多重要
现在说后悔也没有用
心虽然很痛

只怪自己当初没有将爱说出口
现在想说声爱你已找不到借口
失去你以后
我连呼吸也好难受


Heartache (Huan Zi)

Your face is close to my breast
Tears have already soaked my sleeves
You and I have stayed silent for ages
In the end you said the words you shouldn’t have said
After hugging me you turn and go
I say goodbye with a smile but my heart is shivering
I haven’t had the courage to ask you
The reason for leaving

I want to say I’ve loved you for a long time
Though I’ve never [told you]
Before I wasn’t good enough to you
I’m also very sad

[I] just blame myself that at the start I didn’t hold your hand
Only now that I’ve lost you I understand how important you are to me
Now saying I regret has no use
Though my heart hurts a lot
[I] just blame myself that at the start I didn’t declare my love
Now I want to say I love you but can’t find an occasion
After losing you
I’ll suffer a lot even breathing




我该怎么做(欢子, video

其实我很想知道
我们的爱是否已经不多
而且你已经彻底的厌倦了我
我们都彼此努力过
却不能回到从前的生活
为何既然你已经不爱我
就请你不要再假装关心我
因为这样会更加伤害我
让我更加难过
坚强背后有谁能懂我
我该怎么做

谁能告诉我该怎么做
离开还是留下来生活
明知道我们不会有结果
可我还是为你而执着

每次争吵过后好心痛
放开你也许是一种解脱
分手这种事情不能拖
拖得越久就会越难过

RAP:Ah 和你一起生活了那么久
我们的一切一切真的好难忘掉
Ah 爱情就是这样的奇妙
整天让人时哭时笑
又无法预料
我们的感情我并没有忘掉
其实相处久了发觉你很焦躁
而无理取闹
说什么话题都难以逗你一笑
你生气会说我很无聊
Ah 当初你说什么都比我重要
可现在什么都比我重要
真可笑很荒谬
我告诉自己快点把你忘掉
别再为你心惊肉跳
可是我还做不到
伤心难过的时候我只会泪流地笑
骗自己说我对你很重要
傻得无可救药
你 可不可不再炫耀1
我是傻瓜被你随传随到
好想尖叫
Ah...

1音好象"xun yao",但是那个音我不知该写成什么。


What should I do? (Huan Zi)

I really very much want to know
If our love is already not much to you
And you’ve already completely forgotten me
We both have strived for each other
But cannot go back to the past life
Why? Since you don’t love me anymore
So don’t pretend to care for me anymore,
Because this way you’ll hurt me more
Make me sadder
Behind my strong back who can understand me?
What should I do?

Who can tell me what I should do,
Leave you or stay back and live on?
I know we won’t get anywhere
Though I’m still attached to you

Every time after arguing I grieve a lot
Abandoning you might well be a relief
Breaking up such an affair can’t be delayed
If it’s delayed longer it will become more painful

RAP:Ah I’ve lived so long with you
Our everything everything is really hard to forget
Ah Love is so wonderful
All day it makes people sometimes cry sometimes laugh
And unable to predict [that]
Moreover I haven’t forgotten our feeling
Actually being close for long I realized you’re
And provocate for no reason [rather impatient
You say any topic can hardly get a smile out of ya
You angrily say I’m very boring
Ah At the start you said everything was more
Though now everything is [important than me
Really ridiculous and [more important than me absurd
I tell myself to forget you quickly
Not to shiver for you again
Though I still can’t get to that
When I’m sad and grieve I’ll just laugh as I cry
I deceive myself sayong I’m important to you
I’m incurably stupid
Can you or not need me again?
I’m stupid, wherever you call I go
I really want to shout
Ah…




邓丽君的“月亮代表我的心”(video)

你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
我的情也真
我的爱也真
月亮代表我的心

你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
我的情不移
我的爱不变
月亮代表我的心

* 轻轻的一个吻
已经打动我的心
深深的一段情
叫我思念到如今

# 你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
你去想一想
你去看一看
月亮代表我的心

再唱 * # #


The moon represents my heart, by Teresa Teng

You ask how deeply I love you
How much I love you*
My affection is true
My love is true
The moon represents my heart

You ask how deeply I love you
How much I love you
My feeling doesn’t move
My love doesn’t change
The moon represents my heart

* A tender kiss
Has already moved my heart
A deep feeling
Makes me miss [you] till now

# You ask how deeply I love you
How much I love you
You have a think
You have a look
The moon represents my heart

小刚的“告诉我你不爱我”(video

无辜的我 摊开双手
无言跌坐 不知所措
你美丽的眼眸
不要逃避着我
你选择他 没选择我
为何还说 依然爱我
给我好一点的理由
别再让我迷惑

我别无所求
只求你能快乐
所以请别再强扮温柔
如果你爱的不是我
我又有什么勇气不放手
说出口 说你已经受够
说我多余的爱是强求
除非更残忍对待我
我才能真的放手
请你告诉我你不爱我


Tell me you don’t love me (Xiao Gang)

I, innocent, stretch out my hands
I sit down in silence don’t know what to do
[With] your beautiful eyes
Do not escape me
You choose him didn’t choose me
Why do you still say you still love me?
Give me a good little reason
Don’t leave me confused again

I don’t want anything else
Just want you may be happy
So don’t force [yourself to] feign tenderness
If the one you love is not me
What courage will I have not to break up?
Say clearly say you’ve had enough already
Say my superfluous love is forced
Only if you treat me more cruelly
I can really let go
Please tell me you don’t love me




王杰的“为何流泪”(video
早已决定不再想你
早已决定不再爱你
让你无情的
转身离开
留下的只是
一个破碎 的爱

* 不再爱你
不再想你
因为我早已失去你
不再爱你
不再想你
我独自伫立在那雨里
任凭雨水沖去那记忆
从此我不再拥有你
不再爱你
不再想你
因为我早已失去你
不再爱你
不再想你
我独自伫立在那雨里
任凭雨水冲去那记忆
从此我不再拥有你

# 我知道我不会
那么轻易的憔悴
只是脸上不知为何流泪
内心激荡的心碎
不知何日才能挽回
无法再平息
你我感情的创通伤悲

Why you cry (Dave Wong)

I already decided not to love you again
I already decided not to miss you again
Let you cruelly
Turn and leave me
What you leave behind is just
A broken love

* Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
Since I’ve already lost you
Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
I stand still alone in that rain
Allowing rain to wash those memories away
From now on I won’t have you any longer
Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
Since I’ve already lost you
Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
I stand still alone in that rain
Allowing rain to wash those memories away
From now on I won’t have you any longer

# I know I won’t
So easily be wan and pallid
Only I don’t know why on your face tears flow
The heartbreak surging in my heart
I don’t know on what day I can heal
I can’t again quieten
The pain and sadness of my and your feelings

Secret I can’t tell, by Weng Liyou (Min Nan)

* I love one I shouldn’t love
I have you and have myself
For you I want
My present life to bear sufferance and bear sweetness
Meeting you on the road of life
Was the beginning of being doomed to mistakes
Surely one day the secret will pass away with me

# Secret I can’t tell
For the more you hide the more I love you
I hold onto you very tight
Because I’m afraid to lose you
Secret I can’t tell
For the more you’re careless [about me] the more I love you
I hate to leave you
I fear you’ll fly to the sky

@ Went through so many years
Days you weren’t there
I still often see you in [my] dreams

王杰的“明日我是谁”(粤语, video

离别也许是简单 的一句
每次说出偏要 洒眼泪
就像在放下
也在担起 一片空虚
每一个梦 也伴随

# 曾亦幻想 是天生的一对
暗暗放开 想过的顾虑
但是在最后这夜
亲一亲你的嘴
我终于狠心的说再会

* 明日你是谁 明日我是谁
过去终须过去
不必再说共聚
明日你是谁 你会爱着谁
祝福一句 你不必再滴泪
独自望这远方步去
雷电冰雪里
明日我 走到何方
你莫再追






明日我 走到何方
你莫再追


“Who will I be tomorrow?”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

Leaving may be an easy phrase
Every time I say it I want to cry
Like I was letting go of and picking up an emptiness
[Which] in every dream follows [me]

# Once we even had the fantasy we were a natural match
We secretly left behind the misgivings we thought
But in the end tonight
I kiss your mouth
In the end I cruelly say see you

* Who will you be tomorrow? Who will I be tomorrow?
The past in the end is the past
You need not say again we will meet
Who will you be tomorrow? Who will you love?
A phrase of wishes you don’t need to cry again

Alone I look at this far place and walk on
In thunder hail and snow
Tomorrow where will I go?
Don’t you follow

#

*

Tomorrow where will I go?
Don’t you follow




王杰的“是你是你是你”(video)

别再用那冷漠对待我
是否能够再明白的告诉我
是否已经不再爱我
是否真要离开我
我有话要说

# 也许人们不会在乎我
不会在乎我的孤单寂寞
可是只有你不能够
让我在风中消瘦
你不能够

* 哦!你 是你是你
才让我如此地沉默
徘徊在你的窗口
承受着风雨的折磨
只要你告诉我
你会永远爱我
别再让我眼泪流
让我能够重新
拥有你的温柔
是否愿意让我停留
在你心底最深的角落








“It’s you it’s you it’s you”, by Dave Wong

Don’t treat me with that coldness again
Can you tell me clearly again
If you already no longer love me
If you really want to leave me?
I have words and want to speak

# The people might not care about me
Not care about my lonely loneliness
But only you can’t
Make me vanish in the wind
You can’t

* O! You it’s you it’s you
Who can make me so silent
I pace back and forth at your window
Bearing the torture of wind and rain
I only want you to tell me
You’ll love me forever
Don’t let my tears flow again
Let me again
Have your tenderness
Do you want to let me stay
In the deepest corner at the bottom of your heart?

王杰的“你的明天不再有我”(video)

你的欢喜悲伤
我都为你收藏
你的失落彷徨
总有我在身旁
你的眼睛总是注视着远方
不曾发现身旁热切的眼

* 我却可以假装平静
谈论你们的感情
装作我毫不在意
听你说他的情绪
我能熟悉你所有的爱情
没有一个能有我有你
心疼你眼中隐藏的伤心
是矛盾还是无奈
有谁来管我心中悲哀
谁来问我的爱

# 我要让故事从此结束
因为爱让我寂寞无助
不想要和你谈论未来
因为你的明天不再有我

“Your tomorrow will no longer have me”, by Dave Wong

Your joy and sadness
For you I’ve collected it all
You pacing up and down lost
Will always have me at its side
Your eyes, always gazing far away,
Didn’t discover the gaze burning at your side

* But I can pretend I’m calm
Talking about your feelings
Pretend I don’t give a shit
About hearing you explaining his moodiness
I can be familiar with all your love
There isn’t anyone who can have me and have you
I’m sorry the sadness hidden in your eyes
Is contradictory or helpless
Who will care about the sadness in my heart?
Who’ll ask for my love?

# I want to make this affair end from now on
Because love makes me lonely and helpless
I don’t want to discuss the future with you
Because your tomorrow will no longer have me


*

江蕙的“落山风”(闽南语, video

往事若是如果再回想
加添心内的悲伤
为你失去了笑容
心情亲像就像黄昏的落山风

无情人无情人心突然
来无影去无踪
无情人无情人薄情无情无义男子
走全无来参详
啊~ 黄昏的落山风
请你就听我讲
阁再再次留恋有什么路用用处


Wind leaving the mountains (Min Nan)

If I remember the past again
[It] adds to the sadness in my heart
For you I’ve lost my smile
Feelings like the wind leaving the mountains at twilight

Cruel person cruel person changed heart suddenly
Didn’t really come and has gone without a trace
Cruel person cruel person cold and ruthless man
Wants to go without discussing at all
Ah ~ wind leaving the mountains at twilight
Please listen to me speaking
What use would it be to be nostalgic again?




黄慧仪“不能说的秘密”(video)

深深爱着你
爱情的魔力

藏在心中多么委屈
想要告诉你
又怕你会生气1
不能说的秘密

得不到回音
但愿夜夜梦见我和你

“The secret I can’t tell”, by Huang Huiyi

* I love a person I shouldn’t love
I’m deep in love with you
The magic of love
Makes me forget myself
I only want to see you every day
In my heart I feel a great sweetness
Teach me how I can forget such a taste

# The secret I can’t tell
How much grievance hidden in [my] heart
I want to tell you
But I fear you’ll be angry1
The secret I can’t tell
I can only blame I imagined my love was exchanged
Loving gives me too much pain
For you I’m so infatuated

@ The true feeling I show
Doesn’t receive an answer
But I want to dream of me and you every night

张少林的“深深的爱”(惠阳客家话, video, blog post

难忘记
两人相爱每日都欢喜
开心
行街牵手哪儿都去
还将婚姻提
永远不分离
齐家你我发誓心不移
结连理

一下变心
讲分手道理
伤心
人相思病使难医
夜夜醉么人
过去想提
每日都想
人痴迷
深深爱
亲口讲


Deep love, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

It's hard to forget
When we two loved each other and were happy every day,
Very happy,
We walked holding hands and went everywhere,
We also brought up marriage,
We would never break up,
The two of us had sworn our hearts wouldn't move
Joined like intertwined [branches]
Suddenly [you] changed your mind,
Didn't say your reason for breaking up
I am sad
Lovesickness is hard to cure
Each night I get drunk, who knows?
I don't want to bring up the past
I think of you every day
Infatuated
I love you deeply
(Meaning uncertain)




奇贤的“心疼心痛”(闽南语, video, blog post

为情为爱来所害
怨恨在心内
想欲想要酒解悲哀
痛苦无人知
痴情的人你
偏偏爱有钱财
你来变心不应该
你来骗我不应该
担保着阮1的将来

1 注意 (dialect note):闽语的人称代词 闽语有七个
人称代替:「我 | guá」,就是「我」;
「你 | lí」,就是「你」;「伊 | i」,就是
「他、她、它」;「阮 | guán / gún」,
意思是「我们、不包括你」;「咱」,
就是「咱们」,意思是「我们、也包括你」;
「恁 | lín」,就是「你们」;「亻因 | in」,
就是「他们」。在歌曲里常常只有一个我
和一个你而没有别人,所以「阮」常常跟「我」
一样、「咱」常常跟「你我」一样。


Heartache, by Qi Xian (Min Nan)

For affection for love [I’ve] become all wounded
Feel a grudge in [my] heart
I want to drink to reduce my sadness
No-one knows my pain
You don’t love an infatuated person
You insistently want to love a rich person
You shouldn’t come and change your heart
You shouldn’t come and deceive me
Guaranteeing for my future




王杰的“一无所有” (粤语, video, blog post)

怎会栖所在这空间
一片空景的是我的恐惧
黑暗之中回望伸手
只信轻轻触觉你的脸庞

*空虛的心里影着多少的畏惧
当初的美梦也离开

#是否我 真的一无所有
心中怨恨难道要继续不断逃
是否我 真的一无所有
不知哪日才能够拥得所有

多少凄酸亦试得多
多少尖酸的话亦都听过
亲爱的你是否真心1
给我一点心里暖的爱意

再唱 *##

1再没有的影片这里有“甘心”替“真心”。


“I don’t have anything”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

How will I find shelter in this space?
A slice of empty scenery really is my fear
In the dark I look back and stretch out my hands
I only hope to gently touch your face

* How many fears I’m hiding in my hollow heart
I’ve also left the beautiful dream of the beginning

Do I really have nothing?
Will you really continue and not stop the grudge in [your heart?
Do I really have nothing?
I don’t know on what day I can completely have [you]

How much sorrow I have experienced
How many acrid words I have listened to
My dear, are you sincerely1
Giving me a bit of a loving feeling warm in the heart?

Repeat * # #

1Another video that is now no longer on Youtube has
«are you willing, from far away, / to give me»
for «are you sincerely / giving me».

我知道我可以
一直这样爱你

Loving you the same way, by Zhang Shuxuan

I don’t fear Doomsday
Because I have you
Why you give to me
I don’t care about the reason
I’ve always believed
Smiling doesn’t need practice

* I can’t forget your
Confused face
Like a meteor
That hates to vanish meteor
I can’t believe
You leave me where you found me
Seeking waiting
I want you
Want you wholly
So [you] make me
Suffering shouting cry with force

@ I’m still loving you the same way
No matter how many people advise me to give up
Sometimes I’ll start humming memories
This is the courage you can give me
I’m still loving you the same way
The happiness I’m waiting for no longer needs doubts
I know I can
Love you always this way

@ # OH

I go back to the past OH
It’s you
Leading me
Protecting me
It’s you always loving me

I’ll always want to always love you this way




张少林的“天感动地感动”(惠阳客家话, video

也真心两句

正发现受了
早已经有第二

* 天感动地感动

心会知道逃避
还死心塌地
天感动地感动
做个为何毋晓不会感动
当初相爱又跟人去
做个为何变心意

有朝一日再相遇
讲出心中爱使一句
把握一生之中机会
明知刀山好险
爱来去


I move the sky and the earth, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

I had one heart, you had one will
We didn't express opinions, [so] we couldn't argue
Due to love I offered [that] I['d] only love you
[And would] not fear any test that may come
I also didn't have two sentences [to say this]
I didn't want to remember your past
I've just found out you have deceived me
You already have a second [lover]

I move the sky and the earth
Why can't [I] move you?
My heart will know it cannot flee
I am still unfaltering
I move the sky and the earth
Why can't [I] move you?
At the beginning you said you loved me and came along with [me]
Why did you change your heart?

One day we will meet again
Saying I love you with my heart is [just] a sentence
I treasure the occasions in my life
I know tests are very dangerous
I don't fear love will go away




林保明的“心痛”(video, blog post

你(的)面在我(的)肩头
目水眼泪已经流渗透我的衫裤衣服
多恋爱这(么)多久
应该讲结却终于讲出来
拥抱够离开
笑讲再见甚至想开
真心来问
离开理由

想讲心爱
可惜从来毋识不曾
以前够好
也好难过

只怪自己你(的)
正知汝对多重要
今下如今讲后悔也

只怪自己时一句爱讲出
今下如今想讲出爱接嘴破冰
时候
我(的)心痛也恁难过


Your face [is] on my shoulder
Tears have already flowed a lot and soaked my clothes
You and I have loved [each other] a lot for so long
In the end [you] said the words [you] shouldn't have said
You hugged me and went away, leaving me
I smilingly say "see you" and in my heart even think I can get over [this]
I also didn't seriously ask you
The reason for leaving [me]

I want to say I loved you, in my heart, for very long
Too bad I never have [told you]
Before, I wasn't good enough to you
I was also rather hard to bear

It's all because I didn't hold your hand tight back then
Only now that you've gone I know you were very important to me
Even saying regrets is now useless
In my heart I feel great pain
It's all because I didn't say [I] loved [you] back then
[I] now want to say [I] love you but cannot find [a way] to break the ice
Now that you've gone
My heartache is also rather hard to bear




如果能再感动你多一次(欢子, video

你是我的唯一

如果再没有你的消息
我怎么有勇气活下去
祈求上天
能感动你多一次
你是我的唯一
我的天使
如果今生和你
相偎相依
是我最大的福气
我永远爱你

孤灯夜下的我
难以入眠
不知现在的你
是否过得如愿
回忆我们的缠绵
思念你越来越明显
交错的缘分
让你离我越来越远

# 站在窗台仰望星空
我许了个愿
盼望你能瞬间出现
在我的面前
你是否还记得
我们彼此许下的诺言
希望你能陪我一起
将它实现

If I could move you once more (Huan Zi)

* If Heaven
Can make love come back once
You are my only one
My angel
If I no longer had news from you
How could I have the courage to live on?
I pray Heaven that I may move you once more
You are my only one
My angel
If my present life with you
Were hugging and depending on each other
It would be my greatest luck
I’ll love you forever

Under a night of lonely stars, I
Hardly fall asleep
I don’t know if you now
Have got what you wished for
I remember our touching
I miss you more and more clearly
The fate of [our] crossing [paths]
Makes you further and further from me

# I stand at the window and look at the stars
I’ve made a wish
I hope you can appear for an instant
In front of me
Do you still remember
The promise we made to each other?
I hope you can, with me,
Make it come true

我笑我哭 全无作用

一生相爱数十次
才避免刺痛

然而期限即使迫近
分手 为何在这日

“I laugh, I cry”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

It’s passionate words familiar but chaotic
Of your past role why are you tired?
Tone and face no matter how they are warm
Here and now everything is turning

# We met and left have I been fooled?
I laugh, I cry, everything is useless
And on what day can you understand my side?
In life I’ve been in love ten times (i.e. many t.)
I can avoid being stabbed (i.e. pain)

* No matter if originally we met every day
It was unavoidable in the end
But even though the time limit’s pressing in
Breaking up: why on this day?

@ No matter if originally we were close
Anyway at a point we were to lose contact
But even though the road before us is hidden
Breaking up: why on this earth?

王杰的“能否不想妳”(粤语, video

曾爱上妳 神话故事般美
无奈要放弃 倦了便乏味
而当天的主角 不睬不理
仿佛失声的唱机

# 行李载满 离别伤心空气
门若闭上了 便再会无期
离开一生所爱 仿佛演戏
这幕故事愿忘记

* 让我知 能否不想妳
相恋纵是美 分开多痛悲
woo…
愿我可 真的不想妳
从前热恋 不想再记







纵使掷下万样念头在这地
泪已偷偷涌出心碎预备
转身一刹那
仍始终 想妳


“Can I not want you?”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

Once I loved you it was beautiful as a myth
Can’t help you wanna leave you’re tired and have become bored
And of the leading role you got today you don't care or think
[I] seem like a mute disc player
# The luggage is full you leave a sad atmosphere
If you close the door it will be a “see you when I do"
Leaving the love of a life you seem to be acting
I want to forget this affair

* Let me know: can I not love you
Though loving each other is beautiful parting is very painful
woo…
I wish I could really not want you
A love once warm I don’t want to remember

#

*

*

Though I cast away thousands of thoughts on this earth
Tears gushed out secretly, heartbreak was ready
I turn and in an instant
I still always want you




王杰的“忘了你忘了我”(video)

当你说要走
我不想挥手的时候
爱情终究是一场空
谁说我俩的过去
尽在不言中
别忘了我曾拥有你
你也曾爱过我

# 当你留给我
我不想接受的伤痛
爱情到头来还是梦
别说我俩的世界
有太多不同
就说你已经忘了我
你就要离开我

* 谁能够告诉我
我是否付出太多
就当我从来没有过
还是消失在我心头
谁曾经提醒我
我的爱没有把握
就当我从来沒有过
还是忘了你 忘了我








“Forget you, forget myself”, by Dave Wong

When you say you want to go
At the times when I don’t want to wave goodbye
Love in the end is futile
Who says the past of us two
Ended up in no words?
I didn’t forget I had you once
And you also once loved me

# When you leave me
The sadness I don’t want to receive
Love in the end is still a dream
Don’t say our worlds
Have too many differences
Just say you’ve already forgotten me
So you are leaving me

* Who can tell me
If I show too much [feeling]?
But when I never had [you]
You still vanished in my heart
Who has once reminded me
My love has no assurance?
But when I never had [you]
Still if I forget you I forget me

张少林的“烟仔歌”(惠阳客家话, video

人人讲也来跟
饭后一支烟
快乐过神仙万千
饱饭烟仔最
啤酒担口烟
市面上多烟
大事宣传广告登
肺病辛苦又会了钱
生CANCER箇阵那么好怨
最怕二手烟
味道好狂猪律烟雪茄烟
大众广场都禁烟
抄三万到处有眼见
人人为健康脱离烟


Cigarette song, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

Everybody says I too will with
A cigarette after meals
Be happier than a multitude1 of gods
I eat my fill, have no ashes, and am absolutely not addicted
To drinking tea, drinking beer, or smoking cigarettes.
In the market there's a lot of smoke
An ad for important things says2
Lung disease is painful and you'll spend money
If you get CANCER then you shouldn't complain
Have great fear for second-hand smoke
Cigar smoke has a very fierce taste
The people's square (??) all says "no smoking"
Copied 30000 [times] (?), it can be seen everywhere
Everybody will quit smoking for health

1万千 | wànqiān is reported as "myriad" in Mandarin,
so I assume a missing 的 and translate 神仙万千
as "a wanqian of gods".
2Ten = say? And why both sien-con
and kong-kau, both meaning "ad"?




王杰的“可能”(粤语, video

* 细细夜雨
迎着风飘近
像串起心中一切疑问
相约到此今已是过时
雨中只好一等再等
每晚共对
似是多么近
但仿佛
她的心不爱安分
失约解释不愿再问
我只一心要求她步近

# 可能
她一心要试验我
可能
双方忖测太多
可能
光辉一刹已掠过
只好留低我





可能
彼此可以努力过
可能
再见苦楚更多
可能
她将不再理会我
不知谁的错


“Maybe”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

* Thin thin night rain
Meeting the wind floats close [to me]
As if mixed up, everything is a doubt
My agreement as of now is already past
I can only wait and wait in the rain
Every evening we meet
And seem so close
But it seems
Her heart doesn’t like to stay in its place
I don’t want to once more ask an explanation for missing our date
I only ask with all my heart that she come close

# Maybe
She wholeheartedly wants to test me
Maybe
Both of us have guessed too much
Maybe
The great moment has already swept past
Me, who have to wait

*

#

Maybe
We might both have strived for each other
Maybe
Meeting again would be more painful
Maybe
She won’t care pay attention to me any more
I don’t know whose fault it was




李茂山的“深深的爱”(video, blog post)

* 世界上
没人能够
比我更爱你
为什么
你要离我远去
想起从前
甜蜜的过去
枉费我一片
真心对待你
如今我
怀有满腹的怨气
我恨你
恨你无情无义
把我来抛弃
啊…我又深深爱你
希望你回心转意
又回到我怀里

“Deep love”, by Li Maoshan

* In the world
No-one can
Love you more than me
Why
Do you want to go far from me?
I remember of the once
Sweet past
What a waste that I
Was sincere to you
Now I
Have a full sufferance in my heart
I hate you
Hate you that, cold and ruthless,
Abandon me
Ah… I still love you deeply
I hope you change your mind
And come back in my heart

黄家美的“天嫁”(video)

* 流星划过天幕
长长的彗尾
冰雪溶化汇成
千年的泪
亲人捎来的龙达
光耀苍穹
阿妈告诉孩儿
故事的凄美

# 那是天上的卓玛
骑着白驹要远嫁
离愁有多痛?痛有多浓?
那里的小草绿吗?
那里的天蓝云白吗?
那里的你
还像从前一样美吗?

“Heavenly bride”, by Huang Jiamei

* A meteor streaks the canopy of the heavens
A long long comet tail
Ice and snow melt and converge into
The tears of a thousand years
The 龙达 (banners) dear people carry
Brilliantly lights up the dome of heaven
Mom, tell your daughter
The sad beauty of history

# That is 卓玛 (Dolma) from Heavens
Riding a white horse [she] wants to marry someones distant1
How painful is the parting sorrow? How deep is [that] pain?
Is the grass there green?
Is the sky there blue, are the clouds there white?
And there, are you
Still as beautiful as once?

Frengky Cun's "The sun sets, I quietly think of you" (Hakka)

@ I've always known you
In my heart I confront you:
«Why did you so cruelly
Leave me here alone?»
Now I think of you again
On the day we broke up
The sun sets
I quietly think of you

* Maybe you don't understand
In my heart I confront you:
«I didn't think you would
Change heart so quickly about me»
Now I think of you again
On the day we broke up
Tears flow
No-one can know [how many?]

# Maybe your parents
Don't want you to be in love
[And] forced you to break up
I also still continuously think of you
Now I've gone halfway through the sea
I want to think of you forever,
It's not that bad

Today I'm broken-hearted
I roam here,
A few years have past
I think [of you] again
Don't you think of me again
Now I bid you goodbye
Your person (i.e. lover)
Now meets me

* (with the last two lines of @)

# (with “And don't thinkn of me” instead of “Don't think of me again” the first time)




江蕙的“毋想伊"(闽南语, video

* 是你家己自己来离开我
毋通不好讲我无情放捒放弃
亲像就像你这个无情的男性

# 因为你违背我
讲怎样做你去
害我一时险险差一点
坚强的女性提出勇气来
啊……

永远永远

Not think of him, by Jiang Hui (Min Nan)

* It’s you who will yourself leave me
Don’t say I cruelly leave you
Like you, this cruel man
Leaves me, I can’t
Go back bothering [him]

# Since you violate me
Don’t say how I made you go
You wound me in an instant and in an instat I can't get over it
I, a strong woman, will get out the courage to
A…… not want him not want him Not want him not want him
Forever forever not want him

Helpless pining, by Jiang Hui (Min Nan)

I look at a vast vast night sky
A drizzle falls softly
The drops fall, my heart is extremely cold

A cigarette and another
Only add up to this helpless pining
It’s me who let you go
It’s me who let you go
Why do I constantly come back to missing you?
Helpless helpless helpless pining

世上只有妈妈好 (video)

世上只有妈妈好
有妈的孩子像块宝
投进妈妈的怀抱
幸福享不了
没有妈妈最苦恼
没妈的孩子像根草
离开妈妈的怀抱
幸福哪里找
幸福哪里找
[所有多两次]


Only mama’s best in the world

Only mama’s best in the world
A child with a mama is like a treasure
Diving into mama’s hug
You'll enjoy happiness forever
Without mama it's very painful
A child without a mom is like grass
If you leave mama’s hug
Where will you seek happiness?
[all again twice]




宇桐非的”感动天感动地“(video

一开始我以为
爱本来会很容易
所以没有经过允许
就把你放心里
知道后来有一天
你和他走在一起
我才发现原来爱情
不是真心就可以

我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
明明知道没有结局
却还死心塌地
我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
从相信爱情会有奇迹
都是我骗自己

所有从开始

以为自己不再去想你
保持不被刺痛的距离
就算早已忘了我自己
却还想要知道你的消息

我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
明明知道没有结局
却还死心塌地
我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
从相信爱情会有奇迹
都是我骗自己


I move the sky and the earth (Yu Tongfei)

At the start I thought
Love at the beginning would be very easy
So I didn’t have [your] permission
But I put you in [my] heart
I know in the end there will be a day
You and he will go together
I’ve just find out love
Is not [an] if-sincere-then-you-can [type of thing]

I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I clearly know we won’t have a conclusion
But I’m still unwavering
I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I always believed love would have wonders
But I just cheated myself

all from start

I think I won’t want you again
Keep a distance where I won’t be stabbed
Though I’ve already forgotten myself
I still want to have news from you

I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I clearly know we won’t have a conclusion
But I’m still unwavering
I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I always believed love would have wonders
But I just cheated myself




「Lily」的“感动天感动地“(Lily客家话, video

一开始愐着以为
爱情本等当然容易
所以真真想起
恁样怎么放落心去
结果有一断时

试着知道原来爱情
讲爱就可以

感动天感动地
做么为何感动
明明爱情就结果
做么为何死死等
感动天感动地
做么为何感动
希望自家做一下
结果单者自己

所有从开始

翻再再次去想
试着知道我的来同去
还没单者自己阿里这里
每日每时恬恬想

感动天感动地
做么为何感动
明明爱情就结果
做么为何死死等
感动天感动地
做么为何感动
去望自家做一下
结果单者自己


I move the sky move the earth, by Lily (Hakka)

At the start I thought
Love when it starts is very easy
So I don't really remember
How [I] put [you] in [my] heart
As a result I, in some moment,
I will see you going back to him
I've just found out love
Is not like just saying I love you is fine

I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
It's clear that love [will] have no result
Why do I wait so persistently till I get old?
I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
Hoping I would do something
I ended up deceiving myself

All from start

I think I won't think of you anymore
I know my heart won't go with you again
I don't yet know that I'm here alone,
Quietly thinking of you every day, all the time.

I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
It's clear that love [will] have no result
Why do I wait so persistently till I get old?
I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
Hoping I would do something
I ended up deceiving myself




刘德华的"孤星泪(video

* 我是一滴远方
孤星的泪水
藏在妳身上已几万年
所有妳的心事
都被我看见
让我温暖妳的脸

# 悄悄滑落在妳脸庞
从妳红色而深情的眼眶
离别时的吻
你有太多感伤
我滚烫而失去了方向
缠绕着那风中
依稀的灯光
没有了选择
你让我流浪
流浪在夜空
流浪使我不再寂寞





在我被吹干以前







不要再和他见面


Lone star’s tear (Andy Lau)

* I’m a drop of a far-off
Lone star’s tears
Hidden on your body already a few millennia
All your worries
Have been seen by me
Let me warm you face

# I slip quietly on your face
From your red eyes [full of] deep feelings
[For] the parting kiss
You are too wounded
I’m boiling hot and have lost my direction
[Due to] those, wrapped in that wind,
Dim lights
You haven’t chosen
You make me drift off
Drift off in the night sky
Drifting off makes me no longer lonely

Before I’m blown dry

Don’t meet him again




张少林的”老妹阿花“(惠阳客家话, video

我的老妹
做阿花
人好天真白璧也无瑕
又老实
品性
年纪恬恬悄悄十八出嫁
我(的)老妹
也像朵花
甜甜酒窝相似林青霞
人好乖
一致清理屋家房子
后生仔想去追完几打

好又帮得手
又听话
从来学坏
钱乱花
养鹅鸭
鸡妈母鸡
满山去如果
讲怕
跳舞唱歌
学吉他
弹琴吹SAXPHONE
会差
隔邻舍
半夜拿刀嫲柴刀
我的爸都劝讲阿花
明年好嫁


Young sister A-fa, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

My younger sister
Is called A-fa
A very naïve person with impeccable moral integrity
And honest
With good character
She's slowly gotten to 18 years old and hasn't yet gotten married
My young sister
Is also like a flower
Her sweet dimples are like Lin Qingxia (Brigitte Lin)
A very well-behaved person
Always taking care of the house
Young boys love her and woo her, a full few dozens1

Those people are very helpful
And obedient
Never following bad examples
And wasting money
She can raise geese and ducks
And can raise hens
If she goes in the mountains and meets a snake,
Even then she doesn't panic
She can also dance, sing,
Play guitar,
Play flute, play saxphone,
Not bad at all
She quarrels with the neighbors,
Who take out cleavers at midnight!
My dad also suggests A-fa
Should marry next year.

1That is, as many as a few dozens




林保明的“原谅”(海陆丰客家话, video

心焦思念一日过一日
单侪孤独自己
开心欢喜爱你有共下一起这儿
你走我(的)日子暗
道歉千万句
做得能够在路上离开
讲一句當下做下去
啊吵如果原谅倒转来回来这里
每日认识做错一后悔试着觉得难过
做么为何会还毋晓不会
样板形怎么道歉
每日认识做错一后悔试着觉得难过
怎么求还求
样板怎么来做


Forgive me, by Mirvin Lim (Hakka)

My missing you is day after day1
Every time I think of you, I, alone
[I was] very happy that I loved you and we were together
You left and my days became dark
I have apologized a million2 times for my doing wrong to you
I can leave you on the road
You say a sentence I will immediately go on doing [what you say]
If you can forgive me and come back here
Every day I recognize I did wrong and regret and am very sad (right?)
How come you still can't let me go (??)?
How should I apologize so that it's good [for you]?
Every day I recognize I did wrong and regret and am very sad (right?)
However I ask you, it's not the right way
How do you want me to do it?

1That is, I miss you day by day
2Lit. one thousand tens of thousands




张燕清的“查埔人男人的汗”(闽南语, video

* 人生行到这儿
地位亲像就像
才知神仙
也孤单
性命生命越头回头
风云起变化
知雨水
参血汗
时也 运也
总靠双手
家己自己争斗

# 他乡路故乡名
孤单
为着一顿白米换
肩头双爿担
旧时路伴阮1今日
笑过去
伤心所在寄
一生风雨
啥物什么才拭会
这滴 查埔人男人的汗







1 注意 (dialect note):闽语的人称代词 闽语有七个
人称代替:「我 | guá」,就是「我」;
「你 | lí」,就是「你」;「伊 | i」,就是
「他、她、它」;「阮 | guán / gún」,
意思是「我们、不包括你」;「咱」,
就是「咱们」,意思是「我们、也包括你」;
「恁 | lín」,就是「你们」;「亻因 | in」,
就是「他们」。在歌曲里常常只有一个我
和一个你而没有别人,所以「阮」常常跟「我」
一样、「咱」常常跟「你我」一样。


“Man’s sweat”, by Zhang Yanqing (Min Nan)

* Life has come to this
Position like a mountain
I’ve just found out the immortals
Too are lonely
Turning back to look at my life
Wind and clouds start changing
Who knows the rain
Is with blood and sweat?
Time too fate too
Always relying on [your own] too hands
Fight for yourself

^# On the roads of other countries I search but there's no-one from my homeland
I walk alone
For a meal of white rice start
To carry with both shoulders
In old times the road accompanied me, now it comes
To laugh of the past
Sad, I search but have no place to live
Wind and rain for a lifetime
What can rub and dry
This man’s sweat?

张学友的“等你等到我心痛”(粤语, video

在这美丽的夜里
等你等到我心碎
怎么不见旧爱侣
问问为何我空虚

* 是我错失的字句
把你伤透我不对
今晚请你念过去
来将心窝占据

@ 让我继续等下去
等你等到我心碎
星星今晚伴我醉
就像同情我空虚
又再雨中等你
痴痴的我已心碎
眼眶的雨渐引退
人消失风里去

# 等你等你等你
一世一世等你
我真的真的不愿舍弃
很想当天的一切能回味
想你想你苦痛
等你等到心痛
无情的北风将我吹送
孤孤单单的我有点凍

在这冷漠的夜里
等你等到我心碎
始终不见旧爱侣
寂寥别愁各一堆

“I wait for you and my heartache”, by Jacky Cheung (Cantonese)

In this beautiful night
I wait for you and my heartbreak
Why don’t I see my old lover
Ask me why I’m empty?

* It’s the words I missed (i.e. failed to say)
I won’t face causing your grief
Tonight please remember the past
Come occupy the center of [my] chest

Let me continue going on waiting
Waiting for you and for my heartbreak
The stars tonight accompany my drunkenness
As if feeling sympathy towards my emptiness
And again I wait for you in the rain
Infatuated, I’m already heartbroken
The rain on my eyesockets gradually retires
People vanish in the wind

# I wait for you wait for you wait for you
A lifetime a lifetime wait for you
I really really don’t want to give up
I very much wish I can taste again today’s everything
I think of you I think of you I suffer
I wait for you and for heartache
The cruel north wind blows me away
Very lonely, I freeze a little

In this cold night
I wait for you and my heartbreak
I never see my old lover
Alone, I separate every pile of sorrow

Let me go and go away
Ah…    I still love you deeply
I hope you change your mind
[And] come back to my side.

“Non ho niente”, di Cui Jian

Una volta chiedevo senza fermarmi
Quando saresti venuta con me
Ma tu sempre ridevi che io
Non avevo niente
Voglio darti il mio corteggiamento
E anche la mia libertà
Ma tu sempre ridi che io
Non ho niente

O… quando verrai con me?
O… quando verrai con me?

Sotto i piedi ci passa questa terra
Accanto ci scorre quell'acqua
Ma tu sempre ridi che io
Non ho niente
Perché non ne hai mai abbastanza di ridere?
Perché io devo sempre corteggiar[ti]?
È possibile che ai tuoi occhi io mai
Non abbia niente?

O… quando verrai con me?
O… quando verrai con me?

Sotto i piedi ci passa questa terra
Accanto ci scorre quell'acqua
Sotto i piedi ci passa questa terra
Accanto ci scorre quell'acqua

Ti dico che ho aspettato molto a lungo
Ti dico la mia ultima richiesta
Voglio afferrarti le mani
E che tu venga con me adesso
Ora le tue mani stanno tremando
Ora le tue lacrime stanno scorrendo
Sarà mica che mi stai dicendo
Che ami il mio non avere niente?

O… che tu venga con me adesso
O… che tu venga con me adesso

Sotto i piedi ci passa questa terra
Accanto ci scorre quell'acqua
Sotto i piedi ci passa questa terra
Accanto ci scorre quell'acqua

O… che tu venga con me adesso
O… che tu venga con me adesso
O… che tu venga con me adesso
O… che tu venga con me adesso
O… che tu venga con me adesso
O… che tu venga con me adesso

O… che tu venga con me adesso
O… che tu venga con me adesso




王杰的“是否我真的一无所有”(video, blog post)

天上飞过是谁的心
海上漂流的是谁的遭遇
受伤的心不想言语
过去未来都像一场梦境
痛苦和美丽留给孤独的自己
未知的旋律又响起

是否我真的一无所有
黑暗之中沉默地探索你的手
是否我真的一无所有
明天的我又要到哪里停泊

多少冷漠我都尝尽
多少回忆藏在我的眼底
遥远的你是否愿意
为我轻轻点起一丝暖意
痛苦和美丽留给孤独的自己
未知的旋律又响起

是否我真的一无所有
黑暗之中沉默地探索你的手
是否我真的一无所有
明天的我又要到哪里停泊

是否我真的一无所有
心中的火再没有一点光和热
是否我真的一无所有
昨夜的梦会永远留在心中

是否我真的一无所有
心中的火再没有一点光和热
是否我真的一无所有
昨夜的梦会永远留在心中


"Do I really have nothing?", by Wang Jie aka Dave Wong

Whose is the heart flying through the sky?
Whose is the misfortune drifting on the sea?
A wounded heart doesn’t want to speak
Past and future both seem like a dream
Leave pain and beauty to the lonely me
The unknown melody starts sounding once more

Do I really have nothing
Silently searching for your hand in the dark?
Do I really have nothing
Where will I anchor myself tomorrow?

How much coldness I have experienced
How many memories hidden in the bottom of my eyes
Your, far away, are you willing
To gently start lighting a thread of warmth for me?
Leave pain and beauty to the lonely me
The unknown melody starts sounding once more

Do I really have nothing
Silently searching for your hand in the dark?
Do I really have nothing
Where will I anchor myself tomorrow?

Do I really have nothing?
Does the fire in [my] heart no longer have a bit of light and warmth?
Do I really have nothing?
I’ll always keep tonight’s dream in my heart.

Do I really have nothing?
Does the fire in [my] heart no longer have a bit of light and warmth?
Do I really have nothing?
I’ll always keep tonight’s dream in my heart.




张雨生的“大海”(video)

从那遥远海边
慢慢消失的你,
本来模糊的脸,
竟然渐渐清晰。
想要说些什么,
又不知从何说起,
只有把它放在心底。

茫然走在海边,
看那潮来潮去,
徒劳无功想把
每朵浪花记清。
想要说生爱你,
却被吹散在风里。
猛然回头你在那里。

如果大海能够
唤回曾经的爱,
就让我用一生等待。
如果深情往事
你已不在留恋,
就让它随风飘远。

如果大海能够
带走我的哀愁
就像带走每条河流,
所有受过的伤,
所有流过的泪,
我的爱,
请全部带走。


“Ocean”, by Zhang Yusheng

You, who from that seashore far away
Are slowly disappearing,
Originally a fuzzy face,
Now bit by bit you become sharp.
I want to say something,
But I don’t know what to start from,
I just put this in the bottom of my heart.

I walk blankly on the beach,
See the tide coming and going,
And in vain I try
To remember clearly every spray.
I want to say I love you,
But it would be blown away in the wind.
I suddenly turn back and you are there.

If the ocean can
Restore the old love,
Let me wait for a lifetime.
If a past of deep affection
You are no longer reluctant to abandon,
Let it drift far away with the wind.

If the ocean can
Bring away all my sadness
As it brings away every river,
All the wounds I’ve received,
All the tears I’ve cried,
O my love,
Please take everything away.




张雨生的“我的未来不是梦”(video)

你是不是像我,在太阳下低头,
流着汗水默默辛苦的工作?
你是不是像我,就算受了冷漠,
也不放弃自己想要的生活?

你是不是像我,整天忙着追求,
追求一种意想不到的温柔?
你是不是像我,曾经茫然失措,
一次一次徘徊在十字街头?

因为我不在乎 别人怎么说。
我从来没有忘记我
对自己的承诺,
对爱的执著 。

我知道我的未来不是梦,
我认真的过每一分钟,
我的未来不是梦,
我的心跟着希望在动!

我的未来不是梦,
我认真的过每一分钟,
我的未来不是梦,
我的心跟着希望在动,
跟着希望在动!


“My future is not a dream”, by Zhang Yusheng

Are you like me, bowing your head under the sun,
Sweating and working hard but silently?
Are you like me, [who,] even if I suffered coldness,
Would not give up the life I want?

Are you like me, busy all day pursuing,
Pursuing a kind of unimaginable tenderness?
Are you like, once totally lost,
Pacing back and forth at the crossroads once and again?

Because I don’t care how others speak.
I’ve never forgotten my
Promises to myself,
[My] attachment to love.

I know my future is not a dream,
I’ll pass every minute seriously,
My future is not a dream,
My heart is beating following hope!

My future is not a dream,
I’ll pass every minute seriously,
My future is not a dream,
My heart is beating following hope!
Is beating following hope!




王杰的“上帝也哭泣”(video)

我即将闭上我的眼睛
此刻一片黑暗看不清楚
不知道是谁在身边哭泣
是谁轻言在叹息
此刻我感觉好像是上帝在哭泣

我虽然已经离你远去
只是心里还是放不下你
因为那人间已变得无情
连那六月也会下雪
原谅我永远不能再给你春天

哦!这样的世界
太阳何时出现
看了上帝也都会
流下眼泪

因为杰的心就是你的心
问你是否真的能了解
连上帝祂也都在哭泣
为何人们不愿付出
真情意

问我的世界为何在下雪
太阳何时才能再出现
连上帝祂也都在哭泣
为何这个世界充满
充满冷漠的脸


Dave Wong’s “Even God cries”

I am about to close my eyes,
Now, in the darkness, I cannot see clearly,
I don’t know who is crying next to me,
Who is softly sighing.
I now feel like it was God crying!

Although I have already gone far from you,
I however still cannot let go of you in my heart,
Since the world’s become cruel,
There is snowfall even in June!
Forgive I can never give spring back to you.

Wo-oh In a world like this
When will the sun appear?
If God were to see this, he too Would shed tears!

Because Dave [Wong]'s heart is just your heart,
I ask if you can really understand.
Even God is crying!
Why do people not want to bear
Feelings true?

Why is it snowing in my world?
When can the sun rise again?
Even God is crying!
Why is this world full,
Full of cold faces?




王杰的“心痛”(video, blog post)

什么是爱?
什么又是无奈?
无言的相对,
我似乎已明白.
慢慢走向你的面前,
握紧你的手,
将忍着眼涙对你说声
"珍重".

以为我们的爱
会流传在世间,
以为我们的誓言
会直到永远.
谁知昨夜梦里的你
早已经不是你?
从此我也不再是 自己!

以为远方的风
能吹散我的痛,
以为黄昏的天边
有渴望的温柔:
只是这颗对你的心.
从此没有人能懂
带着我心痛的梦 飘流!


“Heartache”, by Dave Wong

What is love?
What can’t be helped?
We face each other silently,
I seem to have understood.
I move slowly towards your front,
I hold your hand tight,
Avoiding tears, I’ll say to you
“Goodbye”.

I think our love
Will spread across the world,
I think our oath
Will last forever.
Who knows the you of tonight’s dream
Already is no longer you?
From now on I’ll no longer be myself!

I think the wind of a far-off place
Can blow away my pain,
I think the sky of dusk
Has the tenderness [I] crave for:
Only this suits your heart.
From now on nobody can understand
[I], carrying my dream of heartache, drift!




王杰的“孤星”(video)

天空没有一片云
眼中没有泪滴
不回头不说一句
要拿出自己拼到底
紧握的手永远也不会躲
不管多少险恶会来找我
倔强的心什么也不想留
任凭在风中 哦

天地只剩一个我
昂然孤独地走
多少心都已离去
多少人还在看着戏
是否我早已习惯
一种名字叫孤单
是否我注定挂在
最冷的夜空那段

别问我 有没有明天
就让我 一个人面对
我的梦 不会再是一场错

别问我 知心还有谁
就让我 留着你的吻
我的歌 将永远陪着你走


“Lone star”, by Dave Wong

In the sky there isn’t a cloud
In [my] eyes there are no tears
[I] don’t turn back, [I] don’t say a word
[I] want to take out myself and fight to the end
Hands that hold tight can’t hide forever
No matter how much evil comes to look for me
[My] stubborn heart will never want to stay
At his own will in the wind oh

In Heaven and Earth there’s just one I left
Proud and alone, [I] walk
How many hearts have already gone
How many people are still watching drama
Have I got used
To be called loneliness?
Am I doomed to hang from
That coldest corner of night sky?

Don’t ask if I have a tomorrow
Let me face [my future] alone
My dream won’t be an error again

Don’t ask if I have an intimate friend
Let me keep your kiss
My song will always walk with you




王杰的“上帝也哭泣”(粤语版, video))

谁始终不理是谁呐喊?
夜里灯光仿似不再灿烂。
这悲痛城市,一息间暗淡,
旧时人们的笑颜。
破灭时,随落泊感叹甜梦已飘散。

谁飘涌这里未能别去?
被困孤岛仿似早已判罪,
争执与迷惘,归家的眼泪,
为何犹豫的怨谁?
却未明城内每一个同样心碎。

哦 看上帝哭泣,
人们苦难时日,
骤看苍生,每双眼
同在啜泣!

模糊的光阴,似下雪的心,
同样晦暗今已染着尘。
无声光阴,殒落了的心,
求你会指引亮透天暗昏。

模糊的光阴,似下雪的心,
藏在每个失意过路人,
人声纷纷岁月里飞奔,
同在困恼抖震害怕
一生扑进黑暗!


“Even God cries”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese version

Who is it who never thinks about who is shouting?
The light in the night seems to no longer be bright.
This grieving city, gloomy in a breath,
The smile of old people.
Once they’re broken, with a frustrated sigh sweet
                         [dreams have already drifted away.
What drifting surge here hasn’t been able to go elsewhere?
The besieged island seems to have been condemned,
Fighting and confused, tears that go back home,
Why do you hesitate to complain to someone?
But in the unknown city everyone is similarly heartbroken.

Oh See God cry,
When people suffer,
You suddenly look at the people, and every pair of eyes
Is sobbing at the same time!

A fuzzy time, like a heart where it snows,
Thus gloomy and dark has now been catching dust.
A speechless time, a heart that has died,
Ask you to guide light through the sky’s gloomy twilight.

A fuzzy time, like a heart where it snows,
Hidden in every frustrated passer-by,
[In] numerous cries, flying fast through the years,
It’s in difficulties and trembling, and fears
A life has thrown itself into the darkness!




王杰的“冷冷的太阳”(video)

孤独的心
从不想改变什么
冷漠的眼
已经看过太多虚伪
只有你能给我
真实温暖的感受
走出了冰冷的角落

孤独的心
从不想改变什么
冷漠的眼
已经看过太多虚伪
再没有一个人
爱我如此地深刻
让我从黑暗中逃脱

我就像一个冷冷的太阳
曾经也有颗狂热的心房
但是一次一次受的创伤
失去燃烧的力量

我是冷冷的太阳
曾经也有颗狂热的心房
因为你
熔化心中冰霜


“Cold sun”, by Dave Wong

[My] lonely heart
Never wants to change anything
[My] cold eyes
Have seen too many lies
Only you can give me
A truly warm feeling
To let me come out of this freezing cold corner

[My] lonely heart
Never wants to change anything
[My] cold eyes
Have seen too many lies
There won’t be anyone else
To love me so deeply
As to let me flee from the darkness

I’m like a cold sun
I once also had a madly hot heart
But with the wounds [it] suffered time and again
[It] has lost the power to burn

I’m a cold sun
I once also had a madly hot heart
Because you
Melt the frost in [my] heart




王杰的“在我们的世界里”(video)

* 让你永远快乐
是我唯一的心愿
是否你已经不在乎我
轻易把我忘记
为何你却不愿回头看看
我是否在哭泣
告诉你 我真的爱你

*

# 在我们的世界里
是否已不再拥有过去
为何总在这星夜里
感觉失意
在我的世界里
每天都回忆在我们的过去
每天不断地到处寻找你
和我的回忆
为何相信你 为何相信你
为何相信你 为何相信你
哦 你

*

#

为何你却不愿回头看看
我是否在哭泣
告诉你 我真的爱你


“In our world”, by Dave Wong

* To make you happy forever
Is my only wish
Do you already not care for me
You’ve forgotten me easily
But why don’t you want to turn back and see
If I’m crying?
I tell you I really love you

*

# In our world
Do we really already no longer have a past?
Why do [I] always, in this starry night,
Feel frustrated?
In my world
Every day I remember our past
Every day I non-stoppingly everywhere
And my memories [search for you
Why do I believe you? Why do I believe you?
Why do I believe you? Why do I believe you?
Oh you

*

#

But why don’t you want to turn back and see
If I’m crying?
I tell you I really love you




王杰的“心痛”(粤语版, video, blog post

漫漫长夜
谁在独自心痛
那远处的光
似是她的呼唤
昨日是谁留下
我这痴痴的心爱
用我最暖的手将你紧
抱拥

无论北风怎吹
也吹不开双手
让我风霜的笑脸
永荡在你心中
但那美景不会经常
为何仍然分离
含泪无语问苍天
痛心

漫漫长夜
谁在独自心痛
那远处的光
似是她的呼唤
昨日是谁留下
我这痴痴的心爱
用我最暖的手将你紧
抱拥

无论北风怎吹
也吹不开双手
让我风霜的笑脸
永荡在你心中
但那美景不会经常
为何仍然分离
含泪无语问苍天

你那天真的心
仍荡漾在心中
看你沧桑的哭脸
悔恨我的当初
为何偏偏相见一会
但却仍然是分离
原谅我让你独个
飘泊


“Heartache”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese Version)

In the long night
Who’s in solitary heartache?
That far-off light
Seems to be her call
Yesterday who left
Me this mad love?
With my very warm hand I thee tightly
Hold

No matter how the north wind blows
It will not blow [our] two hands open
Let me, the smile of wind and snow,
Always move in your heart
But that beautiful scenery won’t always [be there]
Why are we still separated?
Tearful, speechless, asking Heaven,
Grieving

In the long night
Who’s in solitary heartache?
That far-off light
Seems to be her call
Yesterday who left

With my very warm hand I thee tightly
Hold

No matter how the north wind blows

Let me, the smile of wind and snow,
Always move in your heart
But that beautiful scenery won’t always [be there]
Why are we still separated?
Tearful, speechless, asking Heaven,

That naïve heart of yours
Still creates ripples in [my] heart
Seeing your crying face of great changes
I regret my beginning
Why do I keep seeing you for moments
But am still separated [from you]?
Forgive that I let you alone
Wander




王杰的“我如何知道你爱我”(粤语版, video

* 夜间的星星不必再数
内心的哭声不必再吐
用我最真最深的倾诉
愿意搏取她的欢心
谁知她竟得轻轻笑声
回身她只得沉默的一句
无奈她说不可以
谁知道她竟推托

# 如今只得我
流浪天边一角
谁人能给我温暖的感觉

人间的恋爱多变幻
问那悲哀为何偏偏选我
问天雨风哪一方属于我

@ 愿天边的野草笑望
望那可悲可笑可欺的我
回身倒扑在黑夜全为妳
欺骗了我

*

“How do I know you love me?”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese version)

* I don’t need to count night-time stars again
I don’t need to spit out my heart’s crying sound again
With my truest and deepest confession
I want to fight to get her liking
Who’d know she was actually gently laughing?
Turning back she can only stay silent
I can’t help she says she can’t
Who’d know she actually made excuses?

# Now I can only
Wander a corner of sky
Who can give me a warm feeling?

The world’s loves change much
I ask why that sadness insistently chooses me
I ask which of sky, rain and wind belongs to me

@ I want the sky’s wilderness to laugh and look
Look at me, pathetic, ridiculous cheated
I turn and fall on dark night all because you
Have cheated me

王杰的“我如何知道你爱我”(video)

总是在爱恨交错时候
才了解世间冷暖起落
心里最深最深的伤口
有谁能够让它愈合
在希望燃成灰烬以后
让自己撕裂在狂野风中
锁链缠绕的心灵
要如何才能解脱

问你是不是在意我的感受
不要让我连明天都没有

我如何知道你爱我
心中的话没有机会诉说
万家灯火哪一盏属于我
我如何知道你爱我
心中的话究竟有谁能懂
就让那无边无际的黑夜
淹没了我


“How do I know you love me”, by Dave Wong

Always, when love and hate intertwine,
[I] can understand the world’s ups and downs and temperature changes
In my heart there’s a very deep very deep wound
Is there someone who can make it heal?
After hope has burnt to ashes
Let me be torn in a wild wind
[My] heart around which chains wind
How will it be able to free itself?

I ask: do you or not care about my feelings?
Do not let me not exist even tomorrow

How do I know you love me?
There isn’t an opportunity to say [my] heart’s words
Which of those many twinkling lights belongs to me?
How do I know you love me?
In the end who can understand my heart’s words?
So let that sideless, endless, dark night
Drown me




王杰的“如果你真的在乎我”(video)

午夜的城市街头
热闹的霓虹闪烁
为什么内心里
只有虚空
自从你走进生活
日子越来越寂寞
难道是因为爱才让我
忘记了洒脱

曾经我为你写的歌
是否你还记得
那么真实的温柔
能否持续到以后

如果你真的在乎我
请不要在人多的时候
用笑声解释
我只是朋友
如果你真的在乎我
请不要在独处的时候
那么无所谓
让我握着手
却不说爱我


“If you really care about me”, by Dave Wong

[In the] midnight city streets
Lively neon lights flash
Why in my heart
Is there only emptiness?
Since you’ve come into my life
[My] days are more and more lonely
Can that be because love can make me
Forget how to be at ease?

The song I once wrote to you,
Do you still remember it?
Such a real tenderness,
Can it go on till afterwards?

If you really care about me
Please don’t, when we are with many people,
Explain with a laugh
I’m just a friend
If you really care about me
Please don’t, when we’re alone,
So indifferently
Let me hold your hand
But not say you love me




王杰的“我”(video)

独自走在下雨的黑夜里。
是雨?是泪?我也分不清。
每天,每天都会问自己
“今夜梦里会不会哭?”。

我一个人独自守着我的梦,
我只希望躲在无人的角落。
我不在乎别人都在说什么,
我只希望能够不再受伤害。

独自走在走不完的长路,
想要忘记忘不了的人。
每夜,每夜,心碎的边缘,
眼泪已干没人看见。

我不想说,只因谁也不想听,
我已习惯自己说给自己听。
我不想问哪里才能找到爱,
我已习惯自己带自己回家。


“Me”, by Dave Wong

I walk alone in a night when in rains.
Is it rain? Is it tears? I can’t tell.
Every day, every day I ask myself
“Tonight in my dreams will I cry?”.

I’m protecting my dreams on my own, alone,
I only hope to hide in a corner where there’s nobody.
I don’t care what all the others are saying,
I only hope I can avoid being wounded again.

I walk alone on an endless road,
I want to forget the people I can’t forget.
Every night, every night, [on] the border of heartbreak,
My tears dried nobody has seen.

I don’t want to say, just because no-one wants to listen,
I have got used to myself speaking to myself and listening.
I don’t want to ask where I can find love,
I have got used to myself bringing my self back home.




王杰的“心瘾”(粤语, video

当告别了恋人
当我落魄失魂
总会面对黑暗
扬言别再流泪牺牲

* 当我习惯一人
当我在脑海自制兴奋
想起女伴背部美感
眼部那样性感
又会身心解禁
找个外表吸引动人
天性自私的女人

# 人怎会越爱越要恨
我越怕越接近
我越近越觉没有天份
开始总想到先发制人
对方到最后变猎人

@ 人怎会越爱越过份
我越错越要问
我越问越是未称心
当找到服从枕边人
心瘾
又会想偷一个吻

身边好友每说到爱情
永远说得漂亮
即使真相哪有胜过一仗

“Heart’s addiction”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

When I bid my lover goodbye
When I lost strength and soul
I’ll always face darkness
I threatened not to shed tears and sacrifice myself again

* When I’m used to being alone
When I’m in an excitement generated by the mind
I remember the beauty of my girlfriend’s back
Her so sexy eyes
And I’ll lift that prohibition with body and mind
I’m looking for an externally appealing
Naturally selfish woman

# How can people, the more they love, the more want to hate?
The more I fear the more I get close
The closer I am the more I feel I have no natural talents
At the beginning I always wanted to be the first striker
The opponent in the end has become the hunter

@ How can people, the more they love, the more exxaggerate?
The more I make mistakes the more I want to ask
The more I ask the more I’m undesired
When I’ll find an obedient pillow partner
[My] heart [will get] addicted [to her]
And I’ll want to steal a kiss

*

Every time the close friends at [my] side speak of love
They always speak well
Though actually they’ve never won a battle

S.H.E.的“说你爱我”(video)

下着雨
让湿气稀释回忆
我靠着你不出声音
看着你
看着斑驳的甜蜜
爱你
困住你也困住我自己

我那躲也躲不掉的微妙伤口
隐隐作痛
你那戒也戒不掉的甜蜜借口
也让我精神腐朽

说你爱我
变成一种问候
不如趁早放手
把爱坠落
让满地鲜红
说你爱我
变成一种折磨
不用陪我走到最后
我承担不起你的承诺


“Saying you love me”, by S.H.E.

As it rains
[I] let moisture dilute [my] memories
Leaning on you, I don’t make a sound
Looking at you
Looking at a mottled sweetness
I loving you
I trap you and trap myself

That subtle wound I can never escape
Is a dull pain
That sweet excuse you can never avoid
Also makes my strength decay

Saying you love me
Becomes a kind of greeting
It’s best to part as soon as possible
Drop [this] love
Let all the ground be scarlet
Saying you love me
Becomes a kind of torture
You don’t need to accompany me till the end
I can’t undertake your promise




王杰的“故事的角色"(video)

我不要在破碎的镜头里接受
你的逃避和存在
我从冷漠的角度望去
含泪的眼
该如何表白
现在的记忆
好像一场演不完的戏
让我们
都看得见过去
(所有再次)

我知道故事里的夜
在为谁叹息
我知道故事里的梦
为何不再美丽
因为你已不是你自己
何必告诉我要忘了你
故事的角色
消逝在记忆里
故事的角色
消逝在记忆里


“The role of history”, by Dave Wong

I don’t want to receive in broken frames
Your fleeing or presence
I look from a cold corner
[Your] tearful eyes
How should [I] explain?
The memories of now
Like a never-ending play
Let us
All see the past
(all this again)

The night inside history, I know
For whom it’s sighing
The dreams inside history, I know
Why they’re no longer beautiful
Since you no longer are yourself
Why should you say I’ll forget you?
The role of history
Disappears in memories
The role of history
Disappears in memories




王杰的“故事的角色”(粤语版, video

我竟毅然毅然别了你
为何淡然淡然没悔意
你心里既要我离开你
莫再扮演伤心的女子
回头凝望你
总感觉欠缺以往风姿
陪着你宁失恋千百次

往昔恋爱恋爱像套戏
为何突然突然遇上你
我的理智理智全失去
愿意扮演痴心的汉子
常常缠着你
可惜你却故意相欺
愚弄我如今不想爱你
愚弄我如今不想爱你

爱里欠缺了真爱
再也没意思
察觉到你对我的爱
缺乏那份诚意
今天我决意要离开你
不管过往如何难忘记
当初已变了回忆的故事
当初那个我从今不再痴


“The role of history”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese version)

I actually decided decided to leave you
Why calmly calmly without regrets?
In your heart you already wanted me to leave you
Don’t play the sad girl again
Turning to look at you
I always felt I lacked an old charm
You’d have chosen to be jilted a million times

In the past loving loving was like a play
Why did I suddenly suddenly meet you?
My reason reason is all lost
I want to play the stupid man
Often hugging you
What a pity you deliberately cheated [me]
Cheated, I now don’t want to love you
Cheated, I now don’t want to love you

In love I’ve lacked true love
It was never interesting
I became aware that your love for me
Lacked that part of sincerity
Today I decided I’ll leave you
No matter how hart the past is to forget
At first I’d changed the history of my memories
At first I was that one, now I won’t be infatuated again




王杰的“只有你”(video)

拥挤的人群之中
我不想再回头
孤独的霓虹闪烁
让夜更寂寞
冷雨打在我身上
让我再度想起了从前
哦 BABY
想你的夜

*在我最失意
你拥抱着我
当我在流泪
只有你陪我在哭泣

#不愿沈默
我再也不愿为爱退缩
在我心里的伤痛
又要向谁诉说
不再沈默
也无法挽回你的温柔
就这样的看着你远走

多少次问过自己
在追求些什么
从清晨直到黑夜
我茫然奔走
冷雨冰冻我的心
还会有谁在为我等候
哦 BABY
告诉我

再唱 *,# #
就这样的看着你远走


“Only you”, by Dave Wong

In the thronging crowd
I don’t want to turn back
The lonely neons flash
And make night lonelier
Cold rain beats on my body
Makes me again remember the past
OH baby
Nights I’ve missed you

* When I’m most frustrated
You are hugging me
When I’m crying
Only you are crying with me

# I don’t want to stay silent
I will never want to flinch because of love
The pain in my heart
I also want to tell someone
Won’t stay silent again
I also can’t restore your tenderness
So I’m thus watching you go far away

How many times I’ve asked myself
What I’m pursuing
From early morning till dark night
I run blankly
Cold rain has frozen my heart
Will there still be someone waiting for me?
Oh baby
Tell me

Repeat *, # #
So I’m thus watching you go far away




江蕙的“只有你”(闽南语, video

是风也是雨
拍醒打醒1的梦
为何你遮尔这么无情
放阮1孤单一个人
每日痴情空等
为何你真心对待阮1
痛苦的心情袂当不会平情
1的心啥人会当就会安慰
只有你只有你
我的一生我的情
只为着你一人

1 注意 (dialect note):闽语的人称代词 闽语有七个
人称代替:「我 | guá」,就是「我」;
「你 | lí」,就是「你」;「伊 | i」,就是
「他、她、它」;「阮 | guán / gún」,
意思是「我们、不包括你」;「咱」,
就是「咱们」,意思是「我们、也包括你」;
「恁 | lín」,就是「你们」;「亻因 | in」,
就是「他们」。在歌曲里常常只有一个我
和一个你而没有别人,所以「阮」常常跟「我」
一样、「咱」常常跟「你我」一样。


Only you, by Jiang Hui (Min Nan)

It’s wind and it’s rain
That has awoken my dream
Why do you so cruelly
Leave me lonely and alone?
Every day, infatuated, I wait in vain
Why don’t you treat me sincerely?
I cannot calm down [my] painful feelings
Who can comfort my heart?
Only you only you
My life my affection
Are only for you alone




罗时丰的“爱情的力量”(闽南语, video

爱情的力量
小卒仔有时也会变英雄
爱情的力量
英雄也会为情来悲伤
为情来悲伤
为情来反常
不但前途受影响
人人笑你无路用没有用
啥人无理想
啥人人无苦衷
忍着痛苦在心中
提出勇气搁再再次


The power of love, by Luo Shifeng (Min Nan)

The power of love
A small person sometimes also will become a hero
The power of love
A hero also will become sad for love
Become sad for love
Become crazy for love
Not only the future is influenced
Everyone laughs at you it’s useless
Who doesn’t have ideals?
Who doesn’t have difficulties?
Feeling pain in the heart
Take out courage fight again




忘不了(邓丽君, video

不怕山高
不怕路遥
美丽影响
忘也忘不了
偷看一眼
一切都变得美好
再看一眼
我这一生不变了
我这一生不变了
不怕山高
不怕路遥
美丽影响
忘也忘不了


Can’t forget (Teresa Teng)

I don’t fear that the mountains are high
I don’t fear that the road is long
Your beautiful image
I can never forget
I steal a glance
Everything has become beautiful
I look again
This my life hasn’t changed
This my life hasn’t changed
I don’t fear that the mountains are high
I don’t fear that the road is long
Your beautiful image
I can never forget




欢子的“心痛”(video, blog post

你的脸贴在我胸口
泪水早已渗透了我的衣袖
你我都沉默了许久
不该说的话你终于说出口
拥抱过后你转身就走
我笑着说再见心却在颤抖
我已没有勇气问你
离开的理由

想说声爱你已很久
可我从来都没有
以前我对你不够好
我也很难受

只怪自己当初没有抓紧你的手
失去了你我才知道你有多重要
现在说后悔也没有用
心虽然很痛

只怪自己当初没有将爱说出口
现在想说声爱你已找不到借口
失去你以后
我连呼吸也好难受


Heartache (Huan Zi)

Your face is close to my breast
Tears have already soaked my sleeves
You and I have stayed silent for ages
In the end you said the words you shouldn’t have said
After hugging me you turn and go
I say goodbye with a smile but my heart is shivering
I haven’t had the courage to ask you
The reason for leaving

I want to say I’ve loved you for a long time
Though I’ve never [told you]
Before I wasn’t good enough to you
I’m also very sad

[I] just blame myself that at the start I didn’t hold your hand
Only now that I’ve lost you I understand how important you are to me
Now saying I regret has no use
Though my heart hurts a lot
[I] just blame myself that at the start I didn’t declare my love
Now I want to say I love you but can’t find an occasion
After losing you
I’ll suffer a lot even breathing




我该怎么做(欢子, video

其实我很想知道
我们的爱是否已经不多
而且你已经彻底的厌倦了我
我们都彼此努力过
却不能回到从前的生活
为何既然你已经不爱我
就请你不要再假装关心我
因为这样会更加伤害我
让我更加难过
坚强背后有谁能懂我
我该怎么做

谁能告诉我该怎么做
离开还是留下来生活
明知道我们不会有结果
可我还是为你而执着

每次争吵过后好心痛
放开你也许是一种解脱
分手这种事情不能拖
拖得越久就会越难过

RAP:Ah 和你一起生活了那么久
我们的一切一切真的好难忘掉
Ah 爱情就是这样的奇妙
整天让人时哭时笑
又无法预料
我们的感情我并没有忘掉
其实相处久了发觉你很焦躁
而无理取闹
说什么话题都难以逗你一笑
你生气会说我很无聊
Ah 当初你说什么都比我重要
可现在什么都比我重要
真可笑很荒谬
我告诉自己快点把你忘掉
别再为你心惊肉跳
可是我还做不到
伤心难过的时候我只会泪流地笑
骗自己说我对你很重要
傻得无可救药
你 可不可不再炫耀1
我是傻瓜被你随传随到
好想尖叫
Ah...

1音好象"xun yao",但是那个音我不知该写成什么。


What should I do? (Huan Zi)

I really very much want to know
If our love is already not much to you
And you’ve already completely forgotten me
We both have strived for each other
But cannot go back to the past life
Why? Since you don’t love me anymore
So don’t pretend to care for me anymore,
Because this way you’ll hurt me more
Make me sadder
Behind my strong back who can understand me?
What should I do?

Who can tell me what I should do,
Leave you or stay back and live on?
I know we won’t get anywhere
Though I’m still attached to you

Every time after arguing I grieve a lot
Abandoning you might well be a relief
Breaking up such an affair can’t be delayed
If it’s delayed longer it will become more painful

RAP:Ah I’ve lived so long with you
Our everything everything is really hard to forget
Ah Love is so wonderful
All day it makes people sometimes cry sometimes laugh
And unable to predict [that]
Moreover I haven’t forgotten our feeling
Actually being close for long I realized you’re
And provocate for no reason [rather impatient
You say any topic can hardly get a smile out of ya
You angrily say I’m very boring
Ah At the start you said everything was more
Though now everything is [important than me
Really ridiculous and [more important than me absurd
I tell myself to forget you quickly
Not to shiver for you again
Though I still can’t get to that
When I’m sad and grieve I’ll just laugh as I cry
I deceive myself sayong I’m important to you
I’m incurably stupid
Can you or not need me again?
I’m stupid, wherever you call I go
I really want to shout
Ah…




邓丽君的“月亮代表我的心”(video)

你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
我的情也真
我的爱也真
月亮代表我的心

你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
我的情不移
我的爱不变
月亮代表我的心

* 轻轻的一个吻
已经打动我的心
深深的一段情
叫我思念到如今

# 你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
你去想一想
你去看一看
月亮代表我的心

再唱 * # #


The moon represents my heart, by Teresa Teng

You ask how deeply I love you
How much I love you*
My affection is true
My love is true
The moon represents my heart

You ask how deeply I love you
How much I love you
My feeling doesn’t move
My love doesn’t change
The moon represents my heart

* A tender kiss
Has already moved my heart
A deep feeling
Makes me miss [you] till now

# You ask how deeply I love you
How much I love you
You have a think
You have a look
The moon represents my heart

* # #




小刚的“告诉我你不爱我”(video

无辜的我 摊开双手
无言跌坐 不知所措
你美丽的眼眸
不要逃避着我
你选择他 没选择我
为何还说 依然爱我
给我好一点的理由
别再让我迷惑

我别无所求
只求你能快乐
所以请别再强扮温柔
如果你爱的不是我
我又有什么勇气不放手
说出口 说你已经受够
说我多余的爱是强求
除非更残忍对待我
我才能真的放手
请你告诉我你不爱我


Tell me you don’t love me (Xiao Gang)

I, innocent, stretch out my hands
I sit down in silence don’t know what to do
[With] your beautiful eyes
Do not escape me
You choose him didn’t choose me
Why do you still say you still love me?
Give me a good little reason
Don’t leave me confused again

I don’t want anything else
Just want you may be happy
So don’t force [yourself to] feign tenderness
If the one you love is not me
What courage will I have not to break up?
Say clearly say you’ve had enough already
Say my superfluous love is forced
Only if you treat me more cruelly
I can really let go
Please tell me you don’t love me




王杰的“为何流泪”(video
早已决定不再想你
早已决定不再爱你
让你无情的
转身离开
留下的只是
一个破碎 的爱

* 不再爱你
不再想你
因为我早已失去你
不再爱你
不再想你
我独自伫立在那雨里
任凭雨水沖去那记忆
从此我不再拥有你
不再爱你
不再想你
因为我早已失去你
不再爱你
不再想你
我独自伫立在那雨里
任凭雨水冲去那记忆
从此我不再拥有你

# 我知道我不会
那么轻易的憔悴
只是脸上不知为何流泪
内心激荡的心碎
不知何日才能挽回
无法再平息
你我感情的创通伤悲

Why you cry (Dave Wong)

I already decided not to love you again
I already decided not to miss you again
Let you cruelly
Turn and leave me
What you leave behind is just
A broken love

* Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
Since I’ve already lost you
Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
I stand still alone in that rain
Allowing rain to wash those memories away
From now on I won’t have you any longer
Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
Since I’ve already lost you
Won’t love you again
Won’t miss you again
I stand still alone in that rain
Allowing rain to wash those memories away
From now on I won’t have you any longer

# I know I won’t
So easily be wan and pallid
Only I don’t know why on your face tears flow
The heartbreak surging in my heart
I don’t know on what day I can heal
I can’t again quieten
The pain and sadness of my and your feelings

有我也有你

注定错误的开始
总有一秘密随我逝去

# 袂使不会讲的秘密

将你捏絚絚紧紧

因为爱你
毋甘舍不得将你放
你飞向天边

Secret I can’t tell, by Weng Liyou (Min Nan)

* I love one I shouldn’t love
I have you and have myself
For you I want
My present life to bear sufferance and bear sweetness
Meeting you on the road of life
Was the beginning of being doomed to mistakes
Surely one day the secret will pass away with me

# Secret I can’t tell
For the more you hide the more I love you
I hold onto you very tight
Because I’m afraid to lose you
Secret I can’t tell
For the more you’re careless [about me] the more I love you
I hate to leave you
I fear you’ll fly to the sky

@ Went through so many years
Days you weren’t there
I still often see you in [my] dreams

王杰的“明日我是谁”(粤语, video

离别也许是简单 的一句
每次说出偏要 洒眼泪
就像在放下
也在担起 一片空虚
每一个梦 也伴随

# 曾亦幻想 是天生的一对
暗暗放开 想过的顾虑
但是在最后这夜
亲一亲你的嘴
我终于狠心的说再会

* 明日你是谁 明日我是谁
过去终须过去
不必再说共聚
明日你是谁 你会爱着谁
祝福一句 你不必再滴泪
独自望这远方步去
雷电冰雪里
明日我 走到何方
你莫再追






明日我 走到何方
你莫再追


“Who will I be tomorrow?”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

Leaving may be an easy phrase
Every time I say it I want to cry
Like I was letting go of and picking up an emptiness
[Which] in every dream follows [me]

# Once we even had the fantasy we were a natural match
We secretly left behind the misgivings we thought
But in the end tonight
I kiss your mouth
In the end I cruelly say see you

* Who will you be tomorrow? Who will I be tomorrow?
The past in the end is the past
You need not say again we will meet
Who will you be tomorrow? Who will you love?
A phrase of wishes you don’t need to cry again

Alone I look at this far place and walk on
In thunder hail and snow
Tomorrow where will I go?
Don’t you follow

#

*

*

Tomorrow where will I go?
Don’t you follow




王杰的“是你是你是你”(video)

别再用那冷漠对待我
是否能够再明白的告诉我
是否已经不再爱我
是否真要离开我
我有话要说

# 也许人们不会在乎我
不会在乎我的孤单寂寞
可是只有你不能够
让我在风中消瘦
你不能够

* 哦!你 是你是你
才让我如此地沉默
徘徊在你的窗口
承受着风雨的折磨
只要你告诉我
你会永远爱我
别再让我眼泪流
让我能够重新
拥有你的温柔
是否愿意让我停留
在你心底最深的角落








“It’s you it’s you it’s you”, by Dave Wong

Don’t treat me with that coldness again
Can you tell me clearly again
If you already no longer love me
If you really want to leave me?
I have words and want to speak

# The people might not care about me
Not care about my lonely loneliness
But only you can’t
Make me vanish in the wind
You can’t

* O! You it’s you it’s you
Who can make me so silent
I pace back and forth at your window
Bearing the torture of wind and rain
I only want you to tell me
You’ll love me forever
Don’t let my tears flow again
Let me again
Have your tenderness
Do you want to let me stay
In the deepest corner at the bottom of your heart?

王杰的“你的明天不再有我”(video)

你的欢喜悲伤
我都为你收藏
你的失落彷徨
总有我在身旁
你的眼睛总是注视着远方
不曾发现身旁热切的眼

* 我却可以假装平静
谈论你们的感情
装作我毫不在意
听你说他的情绪
我能熟悉你所有的爱情
没有一个能有我有你
心疼你眼中隐藏的伤心
是矛盾还是无奈
有谁来管我心中悲哀
谁来问我的爱

# 我要让故事从此结束
因为爱让我寂寞无助
不想要和你谈论未来
因为你的明天不再有我

*

“Your tomorrow will no longer have me”, by Dave Wong

Your joy and sadness
For you I’ve collected it all
You pacing up and down lost
Will always have me at its side
Your eyes, always gazing far away,
Didn’t discover the gaze burning at your side

* But I can pretend I’m calm
Talking about your feelings
Pretend I don’t give a shit
About hearing you explaining his moodiness
I can be familiar with all your love
There isn’t anyone who can have me and have you
I’m sorry the sadness hidden in your eyes
Is contradictory or helpless
Who will care about the sadness in my heart?
Who’ll ask for my love?

# I want to make this affair end from now on
Because love makes me lonely and helpless
I don’t want to discuss the future with you
Because your tomorrow will no longer have me


*

江蕙的“落山风”(闽南语, video

往事若是如果再回想
加添心内的悲伤
为你失去了笑容
心情亲像就像黄昏的落山风

无情人无情人心突然
来无影去无踪
无情人无情人薄情无情无义男子
走全无来参详
啊~ 黄昏的落山风
请你就听我讲
阁再再次留恋有什么路用用处


Wind leaving the mountains (Min Nan)

If I remember the past again
[It] adds to the sadness in my heart
For you I’ve lost my smile
Feelings like the wind leaving the mountains at twilight

Cruel person cruel person changed heart suddenly
Didn’t really come and has gone without a trace
Cruel person cruel person cold and ruthless man
Wants to go without discussing at all
Ah ~ wind leaving the mountains at twilight
Please listen to me speaking
What use would it be to be nostalgic again?

I’m deep in love with you
The magic of love
Makes me forget myself
I only want to see you every day
In my heart I feel a great sweetness
Teach me how I can forget such a taste

# The secret I can’t tell
How much grievance hidden in [my] heart
I want to tell you
But I fear you’ll be angry1
The secret I can’t tell

Loving gives me too much pain
For you I’m so infatuated

Doesn’t receive an answer
But I want to dream of me and you every night

张少林的“深深的爱”(惠阳客家话, video, blog post

难忘记
两人相爱每日都欢喜
开心
行街牵手哪儿都去
还将婚姻提
永远不分离
齐家你我发誓心不移
结连理

一下变心
讲分手道理
伤心
人相思病使难医
夜夜醉么人
过去想提
每日都想
人痴迷
深深爱
亲口讲


Deep love, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

It's hard to forget
When we two loved each other and were happy every day,
Very happy,
We walked holding hands and went everywhere,
We also brought up marriage,
We would never break up,
The two of us had sworn our hearts wouldn't move
Joined like intertwined [branches]
Suddenly [you] changed your mind,
Didn't say your reason for breaking up
I am sad
Lovesickness is hard to cure
Each night I get drunk, who knows?
I don't want to bring up the past
I think of you every day
Infatuated
I love you deeply
(Meaning uncertain)

Heartache, by Qi Xian (Min Nan)

For affection for love [I’ve] become all wounded
Feel a grudge in [my] heart
I want to drink to reduce my sadness

You insistently want to love a rich person
You shouldn’t come and change your heart
You shouldn’t come and deceive me
Guaranteeing for my future




王杰的“一无所有” (粤语, video, blog post)

怎会栖所在这空间
一片空景的是我的恐惧
黑暗之中回望伸手
只信轻轻触觉你的脸庞

*空虛的心里影着多少的畏惧
当初的美梦也离开

#是否我 真的一无所有
心中怨恨难道要继续不断逃
是否我 真的一无所有
不知哪日才能够拥得所有

多少凄酸亦试得多
多少尖酸的话亦都听过
亲爱的你是否真心1
给我一点心里暖的爱意

再唱 *##

1再没有的影片这里有“甘心”替“真心”。


“I don’t have anything”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

How will I find shelter in this space?
A slice of empty scenery really is my fear
In the dark I look back and stretch out my hands
I only hope to gently touch your face

* How many fears I’m hiding in my hollow heart
I’ve also left the beautiful dream of the beginning

Do I really have nothing?
Will you really continue and not stop the grudge in [your heart?
Do I really have nothing?
I don’t know on what day I can completely have [you]

How much sorrow I have experienced
How many acrid words I have listened to
My dear, are you sincerely1
Giving me a bit of a loving feeling warm in the heart?

«are you willing, from far away, / to give me»

Loving you the same way, by Zhang Shuxuan

I don’t fear Doomsday
Because I have you
Why you give to me
I don’t care about the reason
I’ve always believed
Smiling doesn’t need practice

* I can’t forget your
Confused face
Like a meteor
That hates to vanish meteor
I can’t believe
You leave me where you found me
Seeking waiting
I want you
Want you wholly
So [you] make me
Suffering shouting cry with force

@ I’m still loving you the same way
No matter how many people advise me to give up
Sometimes I’ll start humming memories
This is the courage you can give me
I’m still loving you the same way
The happiness I’m waiting for no longer needs doubts
I know I can
Love you always this way

@ # OH

I go back to the past OH
It’s you
Leading me
Protecting me
It’s you always loving me

I’ll always want to always love you this way

I move the sky and the earth, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

I had one heart, you had one will
We didn't express opinions, [so] we couldn't argue
Due to love I offered [that] I['d] only love you
[And would] not fear any test that may come
I also didn't have two sentences [to say this]
I didn't want to remember your past
I've just found out you have deceived me
You already have a second [lover]

I move the sky and the earth
Why can't [I] move you?
My heart will know it cannot flee
I am still unfaltering
I move the sky and the earth
Why can't [I] move you?
At the beginning you said you loved me and came along with [me]
Why did you change your heart?

One day we will meet again
Saying I love you with my heart is [just] a sentence
I treasure the occasions in my life
I know tests are very dangerous
I don't fear love will go away

你(的)面在我(的)肩头
目水眼泪已经流渗透我的衫裤衣服
多恋爱这(么)多久
应该讲结却终于讲出来
拥抱够离开
笑讲再见甚至想开
真心来问
离开理由

想讲心爱
可惜从来毋识不曾
以前够好
也好难过

只怪自己你(的)
正知汝对多重要
今下如今讲后悔也

只怪自己时一句爱讲出
今下如今想讲出爱接嘴破冰
时候
我(的)心痛也恁难过


Your face [is] on my shoulder
Tears have already flowed a lot and soaked my clothes
You and I have loved [each other] a lot for so long
In the end [you] said the words [you] shouldn't have said
You hugged me and went away, leaving me
I smilingly say "see you" and in my heart even think I can get over [this]
I also didn't seriously ask you
The reason for leaving [me]

I want to say I loved you, in my heart, for very long
Too bad I never have [told you]
Before, I wasn't good enough to you
I was also rather hard to bear

It's all because I didn't hold your hand tight back then
Only now that you've gone I know you were very important to me
Even saying regrets is now useless
In my heart I feel great pain
It's all because I didn't say [I] loved [you] back then
[I] now want to say [I] love you but cannot find [a way] to break the ice
Now that you've gone
My heartache is also rather hard to bear




如果能再感动你多一次(欢子, video

* 如果上天
能让爱重来一次
你是我的唯一
我的天使
如果再没有你的消息
我怎么有勇气活下去
祈求上天
能感动你多一次
你是我的唯一
我的天使
如果今生和你
相偎相依
是我最大的福气
我永远爱你

孤灯夜下的我
难以入眠
不知现在的你
是否过得如愿
回忆我们的缠绵
思念你越来越明显
交错的缘分
让你离我越来越远

# 站在窗台仰望星空
我许了个愿
盼望你能瞬间出现
在我的面前
你是否还记得
我们彼此许下的诺言
希望你能陪我一起
将它实现

If I could move you once more (Huan Zi)

* If Heaven
Can make love come back once
You are my only one
My angel
If I no longer had news from you
How could I have the courage to live on?
I pray Heaven that I may move you once more
You are my only one
My angel
If my present life with you
Were hugging and depending on each other
It would be my greatest luck
I’ll love you forever

Under a night of lonely stars, I
Hardly fall asleep
I don’t know if you now
Have got what you wished for
I remember our touching
I miss you more and more clearly
The fate of [our] crossing [paths]
Makes you further and further from me

# I stand at the window and look at the stars
I’ve made a wish
I hope you can appear for an instant
In front of me
Do you still remember
The promise we made to each other?
I hope you can, with me,
Make it come true

王杰的“我笑我哭”(粤语, video

又是热情话 熟悉但凌乱
以往角色 为何厌倦
语气面容 无论多温暖
这里这时一切在转

# 会面又离别 是否被愚弄
我笑我哭 全无作用
又在何日 你我方可会懂
一生相爱数十次
才避免刺痛

* 原来无论天天相见
亦免不了到终结
然而期限即使迫近
分手 为何在这日

@ 原来无论多么紧靠
亦有一处会失散
然而前路即使隐秘
分手 为何在这地

“I laugh, I cry”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

It’s passionate words familiar but chaotic
Of your past role why are you tired?
Tone and face no matter how they are warm
Here and now everything is turning

# We met and left have I been fooled?
I laugh, I cry, everything is useless
And on what day can you understand my side?
In life I’ve been in love ten times (i.e. many t.)
I can avoid being stabbed (i.e. pain)

* No matter if originally we met every day
It was unavoidable in the end
But even though the time limit’s pressing in
Breaking up: why on this day?

@ No matter if originally we were close
Anyway at a point we were to lose contact
But even though the road before us is hidden
Breaking up: why on this earth?

王杰的“能否不想妳”(粤语, video

曾爱上妳 神话故事般美
无奈要放弃 倦了便乏味
而当天的主角 不睬不理
仿佛失声的唱机

# 行李载满 离别伤心空气
门若闭上了 便再会无期
离开一生所爱 仿佛演戏
这幕故事愿忘记

* 让我知 能否不想妳
相恋纵是美 分开多痛悲
woo…
愿我可 真的不想妳
从前热恋 不想再记







纵使掷下万样念头在这地
泪已偷偷涌出心碎预备
转身一刹那
仍始终 想妳


“Can I not want you?”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

Once I loved you it was beautiful as a myth
Can’t help you wanna leave you’re tired and have become bored
And of the leading role you got today you don't care or think
[I] seem like a mute disc player
# The luggage is full you leave a sad atmosphere
If you close the door it will be a “see you when I do"
Leaving the love of a life you seem to be acting
I want to forget this affair

* Let me know: can I not love you
Though loving each other is beautiful parting is very painful
woo…
I wish I could really not want you
A love once warm I don’t want to remember

#

*

*

Though I cast away thousands of thoughts on this earth
Tears gushed out secretly, heartbreak was ready
I turn and in an instant
I still always want you




王杰的“忘了你忘了我”(video)

当你说要走
我不想挥手的时候
爱情终究是一场空
谁说我俩的过去
尽在不言中
别忘了我曾拥有你
你也曾爱过我

# 当你留给我
我不想接受的伤痛
爱情到头来还是梦
别说我俩的世界
有太多不同
就说你已经忘了我
你就要离开我

* 谁能够告诉我
我是否付出太多
就当我从来没有过
还是消失在我心头
谁曾经提醒我
我的爱没有把握
就当我从来沒有过
还是忘了你 忘了我








“Forget you, forget myself”, by Dave Wong

When you say you want to go
At the times when I don’t want to wave goodbye
Love in the end is futile
Who says the past of us two
Ended up in no words?
I didn’t forget I had you once
And you also once loved me

# When you leave me
The sadness I don’t want to receive
Love in the end is still a dream
Don’t say our worlds
Have too many differences
Just say you’ve already forgotten me
So you are leaving me

* Who can tell me
If I show too much [feeling]?
But when I never had [you]
You still vanished in my heart
Who has once reminded me
My love has no assurance?
But when I never had [you]
Still if I forget you I forget me

张少林的“烟仔歌”(惠阳客家话, video

人人讲也来跟
饭后一支烟
快乐过神仙万千
饱饭烟仔最
啤酒担口烟
市面上多烟
大事宣传广告登
肺病辛苦又会了钱
生CANCER箇阵那么好怨
最怕二手烟
味道好狂猪律烟雪茄烟
大众广场都禁烟
抄三万到处有眼见
人人为健康脱离烟


Cigarette song, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

Everybody says I too will with
A cigarette after meals
Be happier than a multitude1 of gods
I eat my fill, have no ashes, and am absolutely not addicted
To drinking tea, drinking beer, or smoking cigarettes.
In the market there's a lot of smoke
An ad for important things says2
Lung disease is painful and you'll spend money
If you get CANCER then you shouldn't complain
Have great fear for second-hand smoke
Cigar smoke has a very fierce taste
The people's square (??) all says "no smoking"
Copied 30000 [times] (?), it can be seen everywhere
Everybody will quit smoking for health

1万千 | wànqiān is reported as "myriad" in Mandarin,
so I assume a missing 的 and translate 神仙万千
as "a wanqian of gods".
2Ten = say? And why both sien-con
and kong-kau, both meaning "ad"?




王杰的“可能”(粤语, video

* 细细夜雨
迎着风飘近
像串起心中一切疑问
相约到此今已是过时
雨中只好一等再等
每晚共对
似是多么近
但仿佛
她的心不爱安分
失约解释不愿再问
我只一心要求她步近

# 可能
她一心要试验我
可能
双方忖测太多
可能
光辉一刹已掠过
只好留低我





可能
彼此可以努力过
可能
再见苦楚更多
可能
她将不再理会我
不知谁的错


“Maybe”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

* Thin thin night rain
Meeting the wind floats close [to me]
As if mixed up, everything is a doubt
My agreement as of now is already past
I can only wait and wait in the rain
Every evening we meet
And seem so close
But it seems
Her heart doesn’t like to stay in its place
I don’t want to once more ask an explanation for missing our date
I only ask with all my heart that she come close

# Maybe
She wholeheartedly wants to test me
Maybe
Both of us have guessed too much
Maybe
The great moment has already swept past
Me, who have to wait

*

#

Maybe
We might both have strived for each other
Maybe
Meeting again would be more painful
Maybe
She won’t care pay attention to me any more
I don’t know whose fault it was




李茂山的“深深的爱”(video, blog post)

* 世界上
没人能够
比我更爱你
为什么
你要离我远去
想起从前
甜蜜的过去
枉费我一片
真心对待你
如今我
怀有满腹的怨气
我恨你
恨你无情无义
把我来抛弃
啊…我又深深爱你
希望你回心转意
又回到我怀里

“Deep love”, by Li Maoshan

* In the world
No-one can
Love you more than me
Why
Do you want to go far from me?
I remember of the once
Sweet past
What a waste that I
Was sincere to you
Now I
Have a full sufferance in my heart
I hate you
Hate you that, cold and ruthless,
Abandon me
Ah… I still love you deeply
I hope you change your mind
And come back in my heart

黄家美的“天嫁”(video)

* 流星划过天幕
长长的彗尾
冰雪溶化汇成
千年的泪
亲人捎来的龙达
光耀苍穹
阿妈告诉孩儿
故事的凄美

# 那是天上的卓玛
骑着白驹要远嫁
离愁有多痛?痛有多浓?
那里的小草绿吗?
那里的天蓝云白吗?
那里的你
还像从前一样美吗?

“Heavenly bride”, by Huang Jiamei

* A meteor streaks the canopy of the heavens
A long long comet tail
Ice and snow melt and converge into
The tears of a thousand years
The 龙达 (banners) dear people carry
Brilliantly lights up the dome of heaven
Mom, tell your daughter
The sad beauty of history

# That is 卓玛 (Dolma) from Heavens
Riding a white horse [she] wants to marry someones distant1
How painful is the parting sorrow? How deep is [that] pain?
Is the grass there green?
Is the sky there blue, are the clouds there white?
And there, are you
Still as beautiful as once?

@ Oṃ maṇi maṇi padme hūṃ
Oṃ maṇi maṇi padme huṃ

Frengky Cun's "The sun sets, I quietly think of you" (Hakka)

@ I've always known you
In my heart I confront you:
«Why did you so cruelly
Leave me here alone?»
Now I think of you again
On the day we broke up
The sun sets
I quietly think of you

* Maybe you don't understand
In my heart I confront you:
«I didn't think you would
Change heart so quickly about me»
Now I think of you again
On the day we broke up
Tears flow
No-one can know [how many?]

# Maybe your parents
Don't want you to be in love
[And] forced you to break up
I also still continuously think of you
Now I've gone halfway through the sea
I want to think of you forever,
It's not that bad

Today I'm broken-hearted
I roam here,
A few years have past
I think [of you] again
Don't you think of me again
Now I bid you goodbye
Your person (i.e. lover)
Now meets me

* (with the last two lines of @)

# (with “And don't thinkn of me” instead of “Don't think of me again” the first time)




江蕙的“毋想伊"(闽南语, video

* 是你家己自己来离开我

# 因为你违背我
讲怎样做你去
害我一时险险差一点
坚强的女性提出勇气来
啊……

永远永远

Not think him, by Jiang Hui (Min Nan)

* It’s you who will yourself leave me
Don’t say I cruelly leave you

Leaves me, I can’t
Go back bothering [him]

# Since you violate me
Don’t say how I made you go
You wound me in an instant and in an instat I can't get over it
I, a strong woman, will get out the courage to
A…… not want him not want him Not want him not want him
Forever forever not want him

是我放你去

为何偏偏阁再再次来想你
无奈无奈无奈的相思

Helpless pining, by Jiang Hui (Min Nan)

* I sit alone beside the window
I look at a vast vast night sky
A drizzle falls softly
The drops fall, my heart is extremely cold

A cigarette and another
Only add up to this helpless pining
It’s me who let you go
It’s me who let you go
Why do I constantly come back to missing you?
Helpless helpless helpless pining

宇桐非的”感动天感动地“(video

一开始我以为
爱本来会很容易
所以没有经过允许
就把你放心里
知道后来有一天
你和他走在一起
我才发现原来爱情
不是真心就可以

我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
明明知道没有结局
却还死心塌地
我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
从相信爱情会有奇迹
都是我骗自己

所有从开始

以为自己不再去想你
保持不被刺痛的距离
就算早已忘了我自己
却还想要知道你的消息

我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
明明知道没有结局
却还死心塌地
我感动天感动地
怎么感动不了你
从相信爱情会有奇迹
都是我骗自己


I move the sky and the earth (Yu Tongfei)

At the start I thought
Love at the beginning would be very easy
So I didn’t have [your] permission
But I put you in [my] heart
I know in the end there will be a day
You and he will go together
I’ve just find out love
Is not [an] if-sincere-then-you-can [type of thing]

I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I clearly know we won’t have a conclusion
But I’m still unwavering
I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I always believed love would have wonders
But I just cheated myself

all from start

I think I won’t want you again
Keep a distance where I won’t be stabbed
Though I’ve already forgotten myself
I still want to have news from you

I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I clearly know we won’t have a conclusion
But I’m still unwavering
I move the sky and the earth
Why can’t I move you?
I always believed love would have wonders
But I just cheated myself




「Lily」的“感动天感动地“(Lily客家话, video

一开始愐着以为
爱情本等当然容易
所以真真想起
恁样怎么放落心去
结果有一断时

试着知道原来爱情
讲爱就可以

感动天感动地
做么为何感动
明明爱情就结果
做么为何死死等
感动天感动地
做么为何感动
希望自家做一下
结果单者自己

所有从开始

翻再再次去想
试着知道我的来同去
还没单者自己阿里这里
每日每时恬恬想

感动天感动地
做么为何感动
明明爱情就结果
做么为何死死等
感动天感动地
做么为何感动
去望自家做一下
结果单者自己


I move the sky move the earth, by Lily (Hakka)

At the start I thought
Love when it starts is very easy
So I don't really remember
How [I] put [you] in [my] heart
As a result I, in some moment,
I will see you going back to him
I've just found out love
Is not like just saying I love you is fine

I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
It's clear that love [will] have no result
Why do I wait so persistently till I get old?
I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
Hoping I would do something
I ended up deceiving myself

All from start

I think I won't think of you anymore
I know my heart won't go with you again
I don't yet know that I'm here alone,
Quietly thinking of you every day, all the time.

I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
It's clear that love [will] have no result
Why do I wait so persistently till I get old?
I move heaven and move earth,
Why can I not move you?
Hoping I would do something
I ended up deceiving myself




刘德华的"孤星泪(video

* 我是一滴远方
孤星的泪水
藏在妳身上已几万年
所有妳的心事
都被我看见
让我温暖妳的脸

# 悄悄滑落在妳脸庞
从妳红色而深情的眼眶
离别时的吻
你有太多感伤
我滚烫而失去了方向
缠绕着那风中
依稀的灯光
没有了选择
你让我流浪
流浪在夜空
流浪使我不再寂寞





在我被吹干以前







不要再和他见面


Lone star’s tear (Andy Lau)

* I’m a drop of a far-off
Lone star’s tears
Hidden on your body already a few millennia
All your worries
Have been seen by me
Let me warm you face

# I slip quietly on your face
From your red eyes [full of] deep feelings
[For] the parting kiss
You are too wounded
I’m boiling hot and have lost my direction
[Due to] those, wrapped in that wind,
Dim lights
You haven’t chosen
You make me drift off
Drift off in the night sky
Drifting off makes me no longer lonely

Before I’m blown dry

Don’t meet him again

Young sister A-fa, by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

My younger sister
Is called A-fa
A very naïve person with impeccable moral integrity
And honest
With good character
She's slowly gotten to 18 years old and hasn't yet gotten married
My young sister
Is also like a flower
Her sweet dimples are like Lin Qingxia (Brigitte Lin)
A very well-behaved person
Always taking care of the house
Young boys love her and woo her, a full few dozens1

Those people are very helpful
And obedient
Never following bad examples
And wasting money
She can raise geese and ducks
And can raise hens
If she goes in the mountains and meets a snake,
Even then she doesn't panic
She can also dance, sing,
Play guitar,
Play flute, play saxphone,
Not bad at all
She quarrels with the neighbors,
Who take out cleavers at midnight!
My dad also suggests A-fa
Should marry next year.

1That is, as many as a few dozens

道歉千万句
做得能够在路上离开
讲一句當下做下去
啊吵如果原谅倒转来回来这里
每日认识做错一后悔试着觉得难过
做么为何会还毋晓不会
样板形怎么道歉
每日认识做错一后悔试着觉得难过
怎么求还求
样板怎么来做


Forgive me, by Mirvin Lim (Hakka)

My missing you is day after day1
Every time I think of you, I, alone
[I was] very happy that I loved you and we were together
You left and my days became dark
I have apologized a million2 times for my doing wrong to you
I can leave you on the road
You say a sentence I will immediately go on doing [what you say]
If you can forgive me and come back here
Every day I recognize I did wrong and regret and am very sad (right?)
How come you still can't let me go (??)?
How should I apologize so that it's good [for you]?
Every day I recognize I did wrong and regret and am very sad (right?)
However I ask you, it's not the right way
How do you want me to do it?

1That is, I miss you day by day
2Lit. one thousand tens of thousands




张燕清的“查埔人男人的汗”(闽南语, video

* 人生行到这儿
地位亲像就像
才知神仙
也孤单
性命生命越头回头
风云起变化
知雨水
参血汗
时也 运也
总靠双手
家己自己争斗

# 他乡路故乡名
孤单
为着一顿白米换
肩头双爿担
旧时路伴阮1今日
笑过去
伤心所在寄
一生风雨
啥物什么才拭会
这滴 查埔人男人的汗







1 注意 (dialect note):闽语的人称代词 闽语有七个
人称代替:「我 | guá」,就是「我」;
「你 | lí」,就是「你」;「伊 | i」,就是
「他、她、它」;「阮 | guán / gún」,
意思是「我们、不包括你」;「咱」,
就是「咱们」,意思是「我们、也包括你」;
「恁 | lín」,就是「你们」;「亻因 | in」,
就是「他们」。在歌曲里常常只有一个我
和一个你而没有别人,所以「阮」常常跟「我」
一样、「咱」常常跟「你我」一样。


“Man’s sweat”, by Zhang Yanqing (Min Nan)

* Life has come to this
Position like a mountain
I’ve just found out the immortals
Too are lonely
Turning back to look at my life
Wind and clouds start changing
Who knows the rain
Is with blood and sweat?
Time too fate too
Always relying on [your own] too hands
Fight for yourself

^# On the roads of other countries I search but there's no-one from my homeland
I walk alone
For a meal of white rice start
To carry with both shoulders
In old times the road accompanied me, now it comes
To laugh of the past
Sad, I search but have no place to live
Wind and rain for a lifetime
What can rub and dry
This man’s sweat?

张学友的“等你等到我心痛”(粤语, video

在这美丽的夜里
等你等到我心碎
怎么不见旧爱侣
问问为何我空虚

* 是我错失的字句
把你伤透我不对
今晚请你念过去
来将心窝占据

@ 让我继续等下去
等你等到我心碎
星星今晚伴我醉
就像同情我空虚
又再雨中等你
痴痴的我已心碎
眼眶的雨渐引退
人消失风里去

# 等你等你等你
一世一世等你
我真的真的不愿舍弃
很想当天的一切能回味
想你想你苦痛
等你等到心痛
无情的北风将我吹送
孤孤单单的我有点凍

在这冷漠的夜里
等你等到我心碎
始终不见旧爱侣
寂寥别愁各一堆

“I wait for you and my heartache”, by Jacky Cheung (Cantonese)

In this beautiful night
I wait for you and my heartbreak
Why don’t I see my old lover
Ask me why I’m empty?

* It’s the words I missed (i.e. failed to say)
I won’t face causing your grief
Tonight please remember the past
Come occupy the center of [my] chest

Let me continue going on waiting
Waiting for you and for my heartbreak
The stars tonight accompany my drunkenness
As if feeling sympathy towards my emptiness
And again I wait for you in the rain
Infatuated, I’m already heartbroken
The rain on my eyesockets gradually retires
People vanish in the wind

# I wait for you wait for you wait for you
A lifetime a lifetime wait for you
I really really don’t want to give up
I very much wish I can taste again today’s everything
I think of you I think of you I suffer
I wait for you and for heartache
The cruel north wind blows me away
Very lonely, I freeze a little

In this cold night
I wait for you and my heartbreak
I never see my old lover
Alone, I separate every pile of sorrow

张美玲的“深深的爱”(闽南语, video(余天唱的), video 2(小凤凤唱的), video 3(张美玲唱的), blog post

这世间(video 3) / 世间上(video和video 2)
无人比我爱你
啥物什么
我来分离(video 3)/我来离开(video和video 2)
带念 体念
1的过去
枉费我一片真心对待你

如今我    有满腹的怨气(video 2和video 3)/我有满腹的怨气(video)
我恨你(video 3)/怨恨你(video和video 2)
恨你无情无义
放我做你去
啊...    我又深深爱你
希望你回心转意
倒转返回来阮身边(video没有“倒”)


Deep love, by Zhang Meiling (Min Nan, she sings video 3, video 1 is Yu Tian and video 2 Xiao Fengfeng)

In this world (video 3) / In the world (video and video 2)
No one loves you more than me
Why
Do you want to break up with me? (video 3) / … leave me? (video and video 2)
Totally not considering our past…
It was a waste that I treated you sincerely.

Now I    have a full sorrowing (extra "I" before this "have" in video)
I hate you
Hate you who so cruelly
Let me go and go away
Ah…    I still love you deeply
I hope you change your mind
[And] come back to my side.

Woman: Why do you want to leave [me]?
Man: Please don't be sad again
Woman: Do you dislike our past?
Man: Please don't doubt carelessly
Woman: Since you have decided you want to leave,
Then you should take care of yourself.

Please don't forget.

离开已经三年后
怎么有去回头
真是人想
心肝亲像好像蓬心空心菜头萝卜
到想
你会去人走
无彩可惜无彩可惜
感情这么
外表飘撇潇洒什么结果
耽搁人青春可恼
啊…(可恼可恼)2…无情的人
恨你是恨
永远来

"My lover went with another person", by Timi Zhuo (Min Nan)

(Unsubtitled lyrics in video 2:)
Annoying, annoying,
You are really very annoying
I could not imagine
My lover would go with someone else
Ah……my lover would go with someone else

(Lyrics in video:)
It's already 3 years since you left [me]
How did you go without turning back?
It's really unexpected for people
[My] heart is like a hollow turnip
I couldn't imagine I couldn't imagine
You would go with someone else
Too bad I too bad I
Wasted such a deep feeling
Being exteriorly unrestrained had no effect
You wasted someone's [=my] youth [and were] very irritating
Ah… (annoying annoying)1 …cruel person
I will hate you till I'm old
For [me] you will always be
Like water that can't flow if the field has no ditch.

(Welp, that was one interesting metaphor, right?
It means she won't let him come near, so he won't
have the opportunity ("ditch") to make her sad
again ("water flowing"). Literal incomprehensible
translation:
With you [I] will always
Field-no-ditch-water-no-flow)

陶蓁的“不了情”(video)

忘不了忘不了
忘不了你的错
忘不了你的好
忘不了雨中的散步
也忘不了那风里的拥抱
忘不了忘不了
忘不了你的泪
忘不了你的笑
忘不了叶落的惆怅
也忘不了那花开的烦恼
寂寞的长巷
而今斜月清照
冷落的秋千
而今迎风轻摇
它重复你的叮咛
一声声    忘了    忘了
它低诉我的衷曲
一声声    难了    难了
忘不了忘不了
忘不了春已尽
忘不了华已老
忘不了离别的滋味
也忘不了那相思的苦恼


"Neverending love", by Tao Zhen
Can't forget can't forget
Can't forget your mistakes
Can't forget your good
Can't forget the walks in the rain
And cannot forget those hugs in the wind
Can't forget can't forget
Can't forget your tears
Can't forget your laughs
Can't forget the melancholy of falling leaves
And can't forget the agony of blossoming flowers
A lonely long lane
And tonight the slanting moon shines clearly
A cold swing
And now [it] rocks gently facing the wind
It repeats your exhortation
Crying    I've forgotten!    I've forgotten!
It softly sings my sorrow song
Crying    it's hard    it's hard
Can't forget can't forget
Can't forget spring is already over
Can't forget the country is already old
Can't forget the taste of saying goodbye
And can't forget that pain of pining




巫启贤的“等你等到我心痛”(video)

*等你等到我心痛
等你等到没有梦
所有感觉已成空
就让一切都随风
等你等到我心痛
我的心情谁会懂
所有真情的感动
一消失无影踪



#爱你爱你始终
恨你恨你不懂
我付出的心有多深重
反反复复的爱不能相拥
爱你爱你始终
恨你恨你不懂
我真的等你等到心痛
平平淡淡的爱怎么相容






"Waiting for you till my heartache", by Eric Moo

*Waiting for you till my heartache
Waiting for you for you till I have no dreams
All feelings have already turned empty
So let everything go away with wind
Waiting for you till my heartache
Who will understand my heart's feelings?
All true feelings
Have already vanished without a trace

*

I love you I love you always
I hate that you I hate that you don't understand
How deep the feelings I show is
Can't embrace a repeated love
I love you I love you always
I hate that you I hate that you don't understand
I really wait for you till my heartache
Can't be compatible with a dull love

王杰的“最后的温柔” (video)

最后这一个冬季
就该收拾热情的过去
不要再缱绻北风里
冰冷的双手
也是最后的温柔    啊
你可知否

最后这一个冬季
就是我们感情的年底
不要再留恋过去
哀怨的双眸
也是最后的温柔
只是我不能再接受

*不要再编织借口
就让我潇洒的走
虽然你的眼神
说明了你依然爱我
这是最后的温柔

(所有从开始)






"The last tenderness", by Wang Jie

This last winter
I must quickly pack up a past of warmth
Do not go on wandering in the North Wind
Your ice-cold hands
Are also the last tenderness    ah!
Can you know?

This last winter
Is the year-end of our love
Do not be reluctant to leave the past again
Your eyes full of grief
Are also the last tenderness
But I can't go on like this

* Do not go on inventing excuses
Just let me go away naturally
Though the feelings in your eyes
Clearly show you still love me
This is the last tenderness




张少林的“海南鸡饭”(惠阳客家话, video

最近做歌星讲好难
唱带录音带翻版好鬼野蛮
到处看到翻版
一条街有十几间
人家赚到笑装满几盘
货又进毋得不能
唱到半死花百几千
人家偷做翻版
失钱只只每位(歌手)改行毋限1
去开一间海南鸡饭
齐家大家吃开来称赞
生意客仔常招满

*台湾最近歌星数不完
张惠妹称霸全…了歌坛
面对香港四大天王
还有新一班
还有SPICE GIRL外国好鬼出名
BACKSTREET BOY只只各个
看下大马有几只人
里兜这些争两餐2
自家歌声差人有限
去开一间海南鸡饭
人客爱招呼怠慢
明星或歌星日日来帮衬做客人

正宗鸡饭
毋係不是客家偏偏出名海南
人人都知有间龙门星店
讲只只来帮衬做客人
吞吃最靓鸡饭
价钱普普通通讲来好平
客仔招呼一流
饱又送支牙签





# (如果吞吃

Ha-ha-ah-ha (两次)

1没有人不让他们改行。
2"争两餐"可能是粤语的习语,粤语的意思就是”对易市场竞争“。


"Hainan chicken rice", by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

Being a singer is lately very hard
Pirate versions of tapes are very sly and savage
You see pirate versions everywhere
A street has 10 places [where they sell them]
People earn till they laugh [with] money filling a few plates
[They] have to restock [and] can never be idle
[I] sing till [I'm] half-dead [and] spend a few hundred money
People secretly make pirate versions
[We] lose money till everyone changes job [and] nobody stops them
[I] opened a Hainan chicken rice restaurant
Everyone eats and praises [my chicken]
A very good business, customers often fill [the restaurant] up

* Great singers from Taiwan lately are innumerable
Zhang Huimei has declared herself the leader of the stage
[I] see the Hong Kong 4 great sky kings
There is still the new generation
There is still SPICE GIRLS very slyly become famouse from abroad
BACKSTREET BOYS: everyone says they can play
Look down at Malaysia, there are a few people
With those I compete on the market
My voice, differently from other poeple's, has limits
[I] opened a Hainan chickend rice restaurant
[We] serve customers and don't neglect [them]
Celebrities and singers are my guests every day

# My genuine chicken rice
Is not Hakka but became famous in Hainan
Everyone knows there is a Longmenxing restaurant 1
It's very good to eat, everyone is my guest
[If] you want to eat the best chicken rice
The price is very fair, [in fact] pretty cheap
Customer service is the best
You eat your fill and get a [free] toothpick

陈洁仪的“心痛”(video)

你总是这样说我
像一颗不容易融化的糖果
带我见你的朋友
又很得意地埋怨我沉默
你追问我的行踪
你在乎我的举动
哄得我泪眼迷蒙
做些事情让我被感动
望着你突然一阵心痛
一次又一次任那感情放纵
你的脆弱让我走不开
你的依赖所以我存在
想着你还是想到心痛
期待我做的将来你都会懂
有一天真如果有一天
但愿我还在你记忆中
有一天真如果有一天
但愿我还在你记忆中

所有从开始


Chen Jiyi's "Heartache"

You always this way tell me
I'm like a candy that's hard to melt
Bring me to see your friends
And very proudly complain that I'm silent
You investigate my whereabouts
You care about my actions
You argue till my tearful eyse get misty
Do a few things and move me
Looking at you I suddenly have a gust of heartache
Time after time I let that feeling pamper me
Your frailty makes me unable to go away
You depend on my so I'm here
I think of you to the point of heartache
I look forward to when you will understand all the things I will do
One day, if there will really be one day,
I wish you will still be in my memories
One day, if there will really be one day,
I wish you will still be in my memories




王杰的”伤心1999“(video)

台北的黄昏人海在浮沉
我也在浮沉
匆忙的脚跟空洞的眼神
心事就别问
我只是个平凡男人
感情也只贪个安稳
所有认真所有责任
被你看得不值一文
原来所谓的残忍看不到伤痕
想着你的吻却化成咒语
我难以翻身
不怪你太狠怪我太愚蠢
还相信永恒
世纪末的冷酷预言
一点一滴正在发生
再多努力再多苦撑
也要失去爱的可能
原来坚持的完整
代价是要让人掏空灵魂

*伤心1999
算了天长地久
不过是拼命追求
喜新厌旧的年头
我的爱对你来说
如果是颗毒瘤
残局我来收

#算了吧1999
忘了曾经拥有
也忘了要牵要放
要分都是你的手
从今后死了一个
濒临绝种的温柔
多一个爱情杀手

离开你的世纪
我走进没有温度
绝情的风景
当地球转到尽头
也找不回我的真心


Wang Jie's "Sad 1999"

Taipei dusk, a sea of people drifting
I'm drifting too
Hurried heels and empty eyes
So don't ask what's on my mind
I'm just an ordinary man
And just crave for a calm feeling
All the seriousness, all the responsibility
You look at it as if it was worth nothing
Turns out the so-called cruelty is to not see wounds
I think of your kiss but it becomes a spell
I can hardly move
I don't blame tht you were too cruel, I blame that I was too stupid
And still believed in forever
The cold promise of century end is coming true bit by bit
Though I strive a lot and suffer a lot
I will still lose the possibility of [your] love
Turns out a persistent completeness
Costs that it will dig [your] spirit empty

Sad 1999,
No matter eternity
Though it's a year end desperately pursuing
And tired of old things and looking for new things
About my love for you,
If it's a cancer,
I will take the consequences

No matter! 1999,
I forgot I once had you
And forgot the one I wanted to hold
And leave was always your hand
From now on a tenderness
On the verge of extinction has died
Another love murderer

Leaving your century
I enter a cruel
Wind scenery with no heat
When the Earth spins to its end
I will still not be able to find my sincerity back.




王杰的”我是真的爱上你“(video)

你有一双会说话的眼睛
你有善解人意的心
不知天高地厚的我
你的微笑总是让我
为你着迷

*你有一双深情的眼睛
你有融化冰雪的魔力
从来不敢奢求的我
你的美丽总是让我
躲不过去

什么原因你的法像
总挥之不去
我的世界什么时候
开始昼夜难分
翻天覆地来去
都是因为想你    哦

# 我    偷偷的爱上你
却不敢告诉你
因为我知道
我给不到你要的东西    哦
我只能偷偷的想你
只能偷偷看着你
总是没勇气
总说不出
我是真的爱上你





#(高一全音)


Wang Jie's "I'm really in love with you

You have two eyes that can speak
You have a heart that understands people's view
I, who don't know my limits,
Your smile always makes me
Fascinated with you

You have two eyes with deep feelings
You have the magic to melt snow
I, who never dare ask inconsiderate things,
Your beauty always makes me
Unable to hide

For what reason is your face
Always impossible to get rid of [for me]?
When did my world
Start to have night and day hard to tell apart
And have earth-shattering changes?
It's all 'cause I love you    wooh

I    secretly love with you
But dare not tell you
Because I know
I won't be able to give [you] the things you want    woo
I can only secretly miss you
I can only secretly look at you
I always have no courage
I always can't say
I'm really in love with you!

肖峰峰的”雨水我问你“(闽南语,video)

又阁爱词
落雨的暗暝夜晚
雨水泼熄满腹酸苦味
想起着当时
两人淋雨的滋味
如今往事稀微寂寞

*借着一杯酒想
知伤心
清醒
为感情来赌气
可比拄着遇上风台时
心疼心痛就像雨水沷

@ 啊    雨水我问你
我的感情算啥物
无彩可惜爱你已经爱这么
啊    雨水我问你
啥人为爱赌生死
你敢讲我就陪你去

#阮1淋着冷冷的雨水
无奈你已经
1身边
知你佗位哪里
是否有将阮1放袂记忘记
1只有借雨水来想你

"Rainwater I ask you", by Xiao Fengfeng (Min Nan)

It is again
A night of rain
Rainwater cannot extinguish my fully bitter sadness
I remember that time
The taste of us two getting wet in the rain
Now I'm left lonely with the past

With a glass of wine I want to get dead drunk
Who'd have known sadness
Gets clearer and clearer?
I act rashly for feelings
Like when yoou meet a typhoon
Heartache like rainwater washes down endlessly

Ah    Rainwater I ask you
What does my feeling count?
Too bad I have loved already for so many years
Ah    Rainwater I ask you
Who gambles life and death for love?
You dare say, I will come with you.

I'm getting wet in cold cold rainwater
Can't do anything that you're already
No longer by my side
Don't know where you are,
If you've forgotten me,
I can only miss you in the rain.

雨水冲不去满脸的忧虑
想起那往日情
我两雨中的甜蜜
这份情
永远在我心底

*这场雨让我想起你
雨水越下我就越心碎
我对你的情意
像那狂风和暴雨
心痛就像那雨水

无奈爱你
已经爱得不能离
啊    雨水我问你

漫漫长夜的想你

无奈你已不在我的怀里
不管你在哪里

"Rainwater I ask you", by Luo Wenjie

Right in this night of rainfall
Rainwater can't wash away the sorrow across [my] face
I remember that love of past days
The sweetness of us two under the rain
This feeling
Will be in my heart forever

*This rainfall makes me remember you
The more rain falls, the more I am heartbroken
My affection for you
[Is] like this gale of wind and rainstorm
Heartache, just like rainwater,
Doesn't stop

#Ah    rainwater I ask you
Why must you make me cry?
I can't help that I've loved you
Already to the point that I can't leave you…
Ah    rainwater I ask you
Where is [my] lover now?
I only
Think of you in the dead of night

@It's a night of rainfall again
I can't help that you're already not in my arms
No matter where you are
[Or] if you've already forgotten me
I will anyways forever
Miss you

王杰的“不浪漫罪名”(粤语, video

*没有花
这刹那被破壞吗
无野火都会温暖吗
无烟花一起庆祝好吗
若爱恋
仿似戏剧那样假
如佈景一切都美化
連相拥都参照主角吗
你说我未能定时
令你每天欢笑一次
我没说出一句美丽台词
是你心中一种缺陷定义
溜进了眼角里的刺

#为何不浪漫亦是罪名
为何不轰烈是件壞事情
从来未察觉我每个动作
没有声都有爱你的铁证
为何苦不浪漫亦是罪名
为何总等待着特别事情
从来未察觉我语气动听
在我呼吸声早已说明
什么都会用一生保证








“Unromantic accuser”, by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

*There are no flowers
Is this instant broken?
Will it be warm though there is no wildfire?
Is it OK to celebrate together though there are no fireworks?
If love
Seems as false as a play
[And] all is as beautiful as on set
[And] even hugging refers to a lead role
You say I can't fix a time
To make you laugh once every day
I haven't uttered a sentence of dialogue
It's a defective definition in your heart
That slipped in the thorns in your eyes

#Why are you not romantic but an accuser?
Why is not exploding a bad thing?
You never noticed that my every movement
Had no voice bu had solid evidence of my loving you
Why are you a bitter unromantic accuser?
Why are you always waiting for special things?
You never noticed my tone is pleasant to hear
I've already explained to you in my breathing sound
I will safeguard everything with my whole life

王杰的“冰冷长街”(粤语, video

黑色晚风    悲伤的梦
晨曦的细雨    一再滴痛我
红色的眼角
渐渐    积满泪水
夜间的一班车
似是    痛诉

*曾独个走过
这冰冷长街
无奈的感叹
却想起你
淡淡的一句说话
请记住我    不要忘记
憔悴的身影
这身躯经已醉
曾试过放弃    一切
想    独离去
但远方声音
给我深深的碎

#我鼓起勇气
回头伸手想轻轻安慰
始终是艰难
眼泪落下









#我鼓起勇气
回头伸手想轻轻安慰
始终是难过
眼泪落下


"Freezing cold road", by Dave Wong (Cantonese)

Black evening wind    sad dreams
Drizle of the first glimmer of dawn    always dripping to hurt me
[My] red eyes
Bit by bit    fill up with tears
A nighttime regular bus
Seems to    be in pain and complain

* I once walked alone
On this freezing cold long rad
[I] helplessly sigh
But remember you
[I] faintly say a sentence
"Please remember me    don't forget [me]"
[My] thin and pallid body
This body is already drunk
I once tried leaving    everything
Thought    of leaving alone
But a voice from far away
Broke me down deeply

# I summon up my courage
Turn back, stretch out my arms, want to softly comfort [you]
It's hard from beginning to end
Tears drop down

*

#

#

#

# I summon up my courage
Turn back, stretch out my arms, want to softly comfort [you]
It's sad from beginning to end
Tears drop down




叶倩文的“潇洒走一回” (video)

*天地悠悠过客匆匆
潮起又潮落
恩恩怨怨生死白头
几人能看透
#红尘呀滚滚
痴痴呀情深聚
散终有时
留一半清醒
留一半醉
至少梦里有你追随
我拿青春睹明天
你用真情换此生
岁月不知人间
多少的忧伤
何不潇洒走一回







岁月不知人间
多少的忧伤
何不潇洒走一回


"Live an unrestrained life", by Ye Qianwen

* Heaven and earth are age-lasting, passing travelers hurry
Tides rise and tides fall
Grudges and gratitude, life, death, old age:
How many can thoroughly understand those?
# The mortal world surges on
Craziness and deep feelings
Come together and separate at some point
[They] leave [me] half clear-minded
[And] leave [me] half drunk
At least there is you accompanying [me] in [my] dreams
I seize spring to observe tomorrow
You exchange this life for true feelings
Years don't know the human world
How laden with grief [it is]
Why should I not live an unrestrained life?

*

Years don't know the human worlds
How laden with grief [it is]
Why should I not live an unrestrained life?

"You are the eternal pain in my chest", by Dave Wong and Augustine Yeh

Dave Wong: In the night there is wind    in the wind there is me
What do I have?
The clouds speak to the wind    the wind speaks to me
Whom can I speak to?
Augustine Yeh: I don't think of the past    I don't discuss the future
Whom do I wait for?
I don't want you to understand    I don't fear that people will tell [me]
To let love be silent in the wind
Dave: You are the eternal pain in my chest
Northern snow is floating in the southern sky
[My] warmth is trapped in the cold cold wind
Augustine: You are the eternal pain in my chest
Eternal pain
[I] leave the dreams of last night to tomorrow
Tomorrow

郑秀文和蘇永康的“越吻越伤心”(粤语, video

*越吻越伤心
仍然糊涂是我过份
@明明知道彼此不再情深
何必追问远近@

郑:
问你哪个配搭
穿起使我最陪衬
蘇:
但你冷冷两眼
似看着无聊闲人
郑:
问你哪一出好戏
最近会冷人提提神
蘇:
但换来连埸沉默
如像跟我嬉笑不再吸引
郑:
问你我喝醉了
可不可对我吻吻
蘇:
但你碰碰嘴角
动作像瞭瞭途人
郑:
问你会否因工作
太累两目完全无神
蘇:
而你似强制
內心的抖震

一个后一个:越吻越伤心
郑:
明明无余地再过问
明明知道衷心一吻
蘇:Mm
合(两个旋律):
会有更亲厚质感
一个后一个:越吻越伤心
郑:
仍然糊涂是我过份
蘇:OH BABY#
郑:明明知道彼此不再情深
合(两个旋律):何必追问远近

郑:
问你距我太远
可不可以坐更近
蘇:
但你似听见了
某个极无聊奇闻
郑:
问你有否想起
你我是哪样成为情人
蘇:
但换来连埸沈默
如像早觉得我不再吸引
郑:
问你那晚见我
怎么湿透了发鬓
蘇:
但你似觉得我
问错问题如傻人
郑:
问到你跟他相处
背后那段缠绵传闻
蘇:
而你却窃笑
像偷偷兴奋

合(两个旋律):
越吻越伤心
明明无余地再过问
明明知道衷心一吻
会有更亲厚质感
越吻越伤心
仍然糊涂是我过份
明明知道彼此不再情深
蘇:
无谓再三逼近


"The more I kiss, the sadder I am", by Zheng Xiuwen and Su Yongkang (Catonese)

The more I kiss the sadder I am
What's still confused is that I exaggerated
[I] clearly know that our feelings for each other won't be deep again
Why should [I] keep investigating [our] distance closely?

Zheng:
I ask you which outfit
Is most fitting for me to wear
Su:
But your two cold cold eyes
Seem to be looking at a very boring person
Zheng:
I ask you which nice play
Lately makes people feel refreshed
Su:
But the stage falls silent
As if you're laughing because I don't attract you any more
Zheng:
I ask you after we got drunk
If you can kiss me
Su:
But you touch the corner of [my] mouth
Acting as if I was clearly a stranger
Zheng:
I ask if you will, because of work,
Be tired with completely soulless eyes
Su:
And you seem to force
[Your] heart's shivers

One after the other: The more I kiss the sadder I am
Zheng:
There's clearly no more room to ask again
I clearly know that a heartfelt kiss
Su: Mm
Both (to two tunes):
Would have a more affectionate touch
One after the other: The more I kiss the sadder I am
Zheng:
What's still confused is that I exaggerate
Su: OH BABY#
Zheng: I clearly know our feelings for each other won't be deep again
Both (to two tunes): Why should I investigate [our] distance closely?

Zheng:
I ask you, since you are so far away from me,
If you can sit closer
Su:
But you seem to have heard
A very boring anecdote
Zheng:
I ask you if you remember
How we became lovers
Su:
But the stage falls silent
As if you already think I'm not attractive
Zheng:
I ask you how, that evening you saw me,
You had wet your hair
Su:
But you seem to think I
Ask the wrong question like an idiot
Zheng:
I ask you about that rumor
Behind your back that you're in contact with him
Su:
But you snigger
As if secretly excited

Both (to two tunes):
The more I kiss the sadder I am
There's clearly no more room to ask again
I clearly know that a heartfelt kiss
Would have a more affectionate touch
One after the other: The more I kiss the sadder I am
What's still confused is that I exaggerate
I clearly know our feelings for each other won't be deep again
Su:
It's pointless to keep closing in [on you]

"I really miss you", by Fei Yuqing

I really miss you
I'm calling for dawn in the night
Even the colorful clouds pursuing the moon
Know my heart
[And] quietly send me comfort
I really miss you
I'm calling for dawn in the night
Even the stars in the sky
Understand my heart
In my heart there's only you

How could a thousand moutains and ten thousand rivers stop
My love for you?
Under the moon there softly floats
My affection for you

I really miss you
You are my bright dawn
Even the cold winter
Has already gone
I wish the color of spring fills up your heart

I really miss you
I'm calling for dawn in the night
Even the colorful clouds pursuing the moon
Know my heart
[And] quietly send me comfort
I really miss you
I'm calling for dawn in the night
Even the stars in the sky
Understand my heart
In my heart there's only you

Your smile, like a song,
Is moistening my love
Your silhouette, like a river,
Is moistening my affection

I really miss you
You are the dawn of my life
Even the cold winter
Has already gone
I wish to stay inside your heart
I really miss you
You are the dawn of my life
Even the cold winter
Has already gone
I wish to stay inside your heart




叶启田的"爱拼才会赢"(闽南语, video

*一时失志
毋免不用怨叹
一时落魄
毋免不用胆寒
怎么可以失去希望
每日醉茫茫
魂有体
亲像就像稻草人
#人生可比是
海上的波浪
有时起有时落
好运歹运
照起工按部就班
三分天注定
七分靠拍拼打拼
打拼才会赢

"Only if you fight will you win", by Ye Qitian (Min Nan)

For a moment of disappointment
You shouldn't hold grudges and be lamentous
FOr a moment of frustration
You shouldn't be terrified
How can you lose hope
And get dead drunk every day,
Having a body but no soul,
Like a scarecrow?
Life can be compared to
The waves of the sea:
Sometimes it raises, sometimes it falls.
Good luck, bad luck,
Both will come and go according to rules
Three parts is decided by heaven
seven parts relies on [your] fighting
Only if you fight will you win




邓丽君的“你怎么说” (video)

*我没忘记你忘记我
连名字你都说错
证明你一切都是在骗我
看今天你怎么说
#你说过两天来看我
一等就是一年多
三百六十五个
日子不好过
你心里根本没有我
把我的爱情还给我








"What you say", by Teresa Teng

* haven't forgotten you've forgotten me
You even said [my] name wrong
It's clear that everything in you was always deceiving me
Look at what you say today
# You said you'd come visit me in two days
I've waited for a full year
Three hundred and sixty-five days
Aren't easy to pass
I wasn't in your heart at all!
Give me back my love

邓丽君的“恨不相逢未嫁时” (video)

冬夜里吹来一陣春风
心底死水起了波动
虽然那温暖片刻无踪
谁能忘却了失去的梦

*你给我留下一片春的诗
却叫我年年寂寞度春时
直到我做新娘的日子
才开始不提你的名字
可是命运偏好作弄
又使我俩无意間相逢
我们只淡淡的
招呼一声
多少的甜蜜辛酸
失望苦痛尽在不言中




"I hate that we don't meet while still unmarried", by Teresa Teng

In [this] winter night there blows a gust of spring wind
I [my] heart stagnant water started to rise and fall
Though there's no trace of that warm moment
Who can forget a lost dream?

* You left me a spring poem
But have me spend springtime in solitude every year
Until the day I become a new bride
Only then will I start not bringing up your name
But destiny prefers to play tricks
[And] makes us again accidentally not meet
We only faintly
Call out
How much sweet and bitter
Despairing grief has ended up in silence

杠宝的“阿花” (video)

*这是我现在的家 没有童年的篱笆
也没有阿花和我玩泥巴
她的男友很酷 弹吉它还跳舞
他们也吵架 可他会哄她

#小小的地方已经变成大城市
我在慢慢长大 渴望能够自由的飞呀
这一刻许下一个美丽的心愿
可以找到一个能够永远陪伴我的他

@年少的岁月 彩色的季节
美丽的心愿在这个瞬间
年少的岁月 太多的心愿
用温暖的肩膀陪我去飞翔

* This is my home now    there isn't a childhood fence
And there isn't Ahua    playing in the mud with me
Her boyfriend is cool    plays guitar and dances
They also quarrel    though he can amuse her

@ A small place has become a big city
I'm growing slowly    hope I can freely fly
In this second I promise [myself] a beautiful cherished wish
That [I]'ll be able to find a he who can accompany me forever

@ The years of youth    the colorful seasons
Beautiful cherished wishes in this instant
The years of youth    too many cherished wishes
Fly with me with warm shoulders

欢子的“愚爱” (video)

*爱情它
是种什么东西
让人欢喜
叫人伤心
有些人别拿它
当作游戏
一旦迷失
无法抗拒
它的世界
让人无法看清
爱的是你
痛的仍然是你
还有谁又甘心
为了这种爱情
再痛一次
谁是那个
傻傻心甘情愿的人
恨我就是

#爱你爱得心好累
你让我疲惫
为你我快要崩溃
你让我伤悲
为了你
我宁愿
再爱一回
享受这
愚爱的滋味
爱你爱得心好累
你让我疲惫
为你学会去面对
我不曾后退
为了你
我宁愿
再爱一回
享受这
愚爱的滋味

"Fool love", by Huan Zi

* Love
What kind of thing is it
Making people happy
Making people sad?
Some people don't take it seriously
Take it like a game
Once they are fascinated
They canot resist
Its world
Makes people unable to see clearly
The one who loves is you
The one who suffers is still you
There is also who is willing
For this kind of love
To suffer once more
Who is that
Stupid person perfectly happy [to do that]?
I hate that it's me

# I've loved you so much my heart is rather tired
You make me exhausted
For you I'm about to collapse
You make me sad
For you
I'd rather
Love once more
[Than] experiment this
Taste of fool love
I've loved you so much my heart is rather tired
You make me exhausted
From learning to face [troubles] because of you
I have never retreated
For you
I'd rather
Love once more
[Than] experiment this
Taste of fool love

好景不常在

泪洒相思带
*今宵离别后
何日君再来

#喝完了这杯
请进点小菜
人生难得几回醉
不欢更何待

@來來來
喝完了这杯再说吧



停唱阳关叠
重擎白玉杯
殷勤頻致语
牢牢抚君怀
今宵离别后
何日君再来



啊 再喝一杯 干了吧




"When will you come again?", by Teresa Teng

Beautiful flowers don't often open
Beautiful views aren't often there
A heap of worry dissolves a smiling eyebrow
I shed tears and carry lovesickness
* After you leave tonight
When will you come again?

# After drinking this cup away
Please eat a litte appetizer
It’s hard to get drunk several times in your life
You’re not happy (now): what are you waiting for?

*

Stop singing Yang Guan Die (old Chinese song)
Raise the white jade cup again
Solicitously continue sending me words
I’m hugging you tightly
*

#

A drink another cup empty it

扬静的“一生只有你”(闽南语, video

1我的泪因为你
变成粒星
我的心因为你
才有温暖的冬天
你的情为着为了
甘愿想甜
你一生我一生
回头我过去
路是遮尔这么
你一张我一张
退色褪色相片照片
有美丽的记持记忆
啥人甘先离开

#一生只有你
会当可以原谅我的脾气
一生只有你
会当可以体贴我的伤悲
啥物什么啥物什么
喘气呼吸
一句我爱你
才甘愿出嘴
啥物什么啥物什么
袂当不可以我的命换你
地狱天当
我先去







1有别的版本,被张美玲唱的,把“心”和“泪”交换。


"All my life only you", by Yogi Jang

*1 My tears thanks to you
Became those brightest stars
My heart only thanks to you
Could have warm winters
[Because of] your affection for me
[I] wanted to suffer and not feel sweetness
You lifelong, I lofelong
Turning back at my past
The road was so beautiful
You are a, I am a
Faded photograph
[I] have beautiful memories
Who first wanted to split up?

# All my life only you
Could forgive my temper
All my life only you
Could support my sadness
Why, why
Does waiting for you leave me breathless?
One sentence, "I love you",
Only now I am willing to say
Why, why
Can't I make my life change you?
To heaven and hell
I'll go first…

F.I.R的“让爱重生” (video)

口白:
哭泣
并不只是因为悲伤
而是感受到
爱一个人,是如此的美好
于是,擦干眼泪
让爱重生

不想哭
却又哭出声
不想听
除了心破碎声
不应该
让眼泪继续拉扯
答应过的
会好好的

* 这一次
决定放手了
这一次
我们终于懂了
爱到用尽全力
都是挫折
我想留的
留不住了
幻灭后
该怎么抉择

# 分开的故事
写满了不舍
说好的爱情
没有你怎么完成
明天的故事
深藏好心疼
爱过的恋人
展开各自的旅程
一个人
让爱重生





经过多少波折
背负沉重苛责
无缘由的爱着


wow……让爱重生


F.I.R的“让爱重生”

Spoken:
Crying
Is not only because of sadness
But it's 'cause I feel
Loving a person is so beautiful
So, I dry up my tears
[And] make love be born again

I don't want to cry
But again I cry loudly
I don't want to hear
Anything except the sound of [my] heart breaking
I shouldn't
Let my eyes go on dragging [themselves]
What I answered
Will be fine

* This time
[We] decided to break up
This time
We eventually understood
Loving till we used up all our strengths
Was all frustration
What I wanted to keep
Couldn't be kept
After [it] vanished,
What should [I] have chosen?

# The story of [our] separation
[I]'m reluctant at writing it all down
The love [we] agreed on
How can [I] fulfill it without you?
The story of tomorrow
Hides much dear love deeply
The loved one I loved
Opened both of us's journeys up wide
On [my] own
[I] will make love be born again

*

#

I went through may ups and downs
Bore heavy blames on my shoulders
Loving because I had no chance of love (?)

#
wow…… make love be born again




丁噹的“不够勇敢” (video)

一路上转多少弯
才能看得见大海
我们都在
还上辈子的债
忙打转
忙着计算
也算不到未来
纯粹去爱
是那么难

一路上布满尘埃
风雨过后谁还在
我们都在
寂寞里取暖
对现实
习惯无奈
却对感情为难
剩多少人
能掙脫牽絆

合唱:
我们都太孤单
不够勇敢
爱得茫然
爱得遗憾
让幸福走散
还庆幸自己很强悍
我们都怕承担
不够勇敢
能不能肆无忌惮
爱不过一次
地狱天堂

一路上跌跌撞撞
有人来有人离开
我们都在
狂欢里落单
越爱过越受伤过
就越裹足不前
要为了谁
留一张底牌

合唱

哎哎
不够勇敢
哎哎哎哎

我们都太孤单
不够勇敢
爱得茫然
爱得遗憾
让幸福走散
还庆幸自己很强悍
诶诶
我们都怕承担
不够勇敢
能不能肆无忌惮
爱不过一次
地狱天堂


"Not brave enough", by Ding Dang

On this road, how many turns must we take
To see the sea
We are all
Still paying back the debts of a lifetime
Busy spinning
Busy calculating
But we can't calculate the future
Loving purely
Is so hard

This road is covered with dust
Who'll still be there after hardships?
We are all
Warming ourselves in loneliness
Against reality
We're used to being helpless
But we're conflicted about feelings
How many people are there left
Who can struggle free of their chains?

Chorus:
We are all too lonely
Not brave enough
Love confusedly
Love with regrets
Let happiness be dispersed
[And] still celebrate that we are very valiant
We all fear burdens
Are not brave enough
Can we be unrestrained?
Love is only
Hell and heaven

On this road [we] stagger along
Some come, some leave
We are all
Left alone in wild joy
The more [we] have loved the more [we] have suffered
Hence the more [we] were stuck
For whom should [we]
Save a hidden trump?

CHorus

Ay ay
Not brave enough
Ay ay ay ay

We are all too lonely
Not brave enough
Love confusedly
Love with regrets
Let happiness be dispersed
[And] still celebrate that we are very valiant
Hey hey
We all fear burdens
Are not brave enough
Can we be unrestrained?
Love is only
Hell and heaven




张少林的“出头的日子还有”(客家话,video)

人穷肯捱
出头
平时努力人
饿得不
完家大细大人小人一大楸
来负担好愁
早晨由暗做
衣服几十
捱到拨病发病骨头痛
工作到瘦
饿死
老婆又臭
工作到    汗流
周时常常典当
靠老朋友
年轻食苦吃苦
做事莫怕羞
出头日子还有


"There will still be days I succeed", by Zhang Shaolin (Hakka)

[If] someone is poor, only when [they] are willing to endure
Will [they] succeed
People who work hard in common times
Are not scarce in hunger
The whole family, young and old [people], is a big tree
And burdening myself [with it] is rather worrisome
In the morning from when it's still dark
I make clothes in the tens.
If [I] suffer to the point [I] fall ill and [my] bones hurt,
[I] still work till [I'm] thin
[I] still fear [I]'ll starve to death
And [my] wife and [my] house will be poor again
[I] work till [my] sweat flows
[I] often have to pawn and borrow
And rely on old friends
When you're young you must suffer,
Work, and not be afraid of disgrace
There will still be days [I] succeed

"[I] rely on friends to go abroad", by Ye Caiyun (Hakka)

[I] decorate all the world
[I] have all [I] need to eat
[My] reputation does not stink
On my side [I] have lots of friends
Whether [I] have much or little money
[I] don't care about anything
If someone is bad or good
Everyone can tell

Everyone is old friends [with me]
They're called Tshai and Khiu
To earn and go abroad
[I] rely on friends
I can't be awkward
I can't steal
I'm rather honest
And considerate enough
There are lots of old friends
Called Yap and Ciu
To earn and go abroad
I rely on friends
If you want help
It's everywhere
Over all the worlds I
Have friends

If someone hates [you]
Don't pursue [them]
Improve your character
Be friends forever

All from start, then
Everyone is old friends [with me]
Called Cu and Eu
To earn and go abroad
[I] rely on friends
I can't be awkward
I can't steal
I'm rather honest
And considerate enough
There are lots of old friends
They are everywhere
To earn and go abroad
[I] rely on friends
If you want help
It's everywhere
Over all the worlds I
Have friends

If someone hates [you]
Don't pursue [them]
Improve your character
Be friends forever
Improve your character
Be friends forever
Improve your character
Be friends forever




邓丽君的"夜来香" (video)

那南风吹来清涼
那夜啼声凄怆
月下的花儿都入梦
只有那夜来香
吐露着芬芳
我爱这夜色茫茫
也爱这夜莺歌唱
更爱那花一般的梦
拥抱着夜来香
吻着夜来香

夜来香
我为你歌唱
夜来香
我为你思量
啊…
我为你歌唱
我为你思量

所有从开始,然后

夜来香(三次)


"Yelaixiang"

The cool south wind blows
The nightingale sings sorrowfully
The flowers under the moon are all in their dreams
There's only the Yelaixiang
Letting out [its] fragrance
I love this vast ight scene
And love the singing nightingale
[But] love more the sleep of all the flowers
Which is hugging the Yelaixiang
Kissing the Yelaixiang

Yelaixiang
I sing for you
Yelaixiang
I pine for you
Ah…
I sing for you
I pine for you

All from the start, then:

Yelaixiang (three times)




曾辉彬的“摇滚吧!山歌”(客家话, video

月光光
秀才郎
骑白马
过莲塘
还记得
N年前

老山歌
哦吔吔吔吔……
唱到月光
都笑呵呵吔
想当年
每日唱
一开声
就有人和
看今朝
客家山歌
慢慢地
添放忘记
喔喔……穷竟还有几多多少
会唱山歌
喔喔喔……好想再听听
唱山歌

*客家人
自家自己
客家歌
也能让人病狂
今唱
瑶滚山歌

一下来唱
唱歌
可惜人来和
知吔
么人
今唱
自家自己歌*
请你毋好不要
啰哩啰嗦



毋好不要啰哩啰嗦

吔……做么个为什么
唱歌人来和
吔……做么个为什么
瑶滚山歌人欣赏


请你毋好不要
啰哩啰嗦


毋好不要
啰哩啰嗦


"Let's rock! Folk song", by Ceng Huibin (Hakka)

The moon is bright
A fine talent
On a white horse
Crosses the lily pond
[I] still remember
The old folk song
You sang
N years ago
Oh hey ye ye ye……
You sang till the moon rose
Always laughing, ha-ha, ye!
[I] think of that year
When you sang every day
[And] as soon as you started
Someone followed you
I see that in these days
Hakka folk songs
Are slowly
Being forgotten by people
Oo oo… in the end how many people are there
Who still can sing folk songs?
Oo oo oo… I really want to hear
You sing folk songs again

* Hakka people
Should have their own songs
Hakka songs
Can also make people go crazy
I'm now singing
A rock folk song
Please sing
Along with me
I sing
Too bad no-one sings along
I don't know
Whose fault it is
I'm now singing
My own song *
Please don't be
Chit-chatty

*
You don't sing
So don't be chit-chatty

Hey… why is it that
I sing [and] no-one sings along?
Hey… why is it that
no-one appreciates rock folk songs?

*
Please don't be
Chit-chatty

*
Don't
Be chit-chatty




张少林的“客家乡情”(客家话, video

爱记乡情
齐家大家客人
最緊又煞拼打拼求進
忘乡情
齐家大家自家自己
只只回故乡
叔公叔婆
来相认
亲戚送礼
来好热心
到处都有人亲
做事耐苦
乌白黑白也分明
好硬頚客家人
客人最亲
亲情最真
世界客人
团结纪念乡情
血脉浓于水承认
事业有成
客家奋斗精神
出头自有原因

* 封做官来
人尊敬
救苦救清贫
好热心
自家自己出身
见面自家自己
三分情
没有忘本客家人

*

客家老人尊敬…


"Hakka homesickness", by Zhang SHaolin (Hakka)

I must remember [my] homesickness
All [my] family is Hakka
?? (AX: [We] are very firm [and again we] struggle for continued success
Do not forget homesickness
All [my] family ar self-made people
Each of us will go back to our homeland to look for our origins
[And] get to know
Great-uncles and great-aunts
[Our] relatives give us gifts
[And] are very warm-hearted
[We] haverelatives everywhere
[We] work [and] endure pain
And understand whether people are black or white (= good or bad)
Hajka people are very hard-necked
Hakka people are the most intimate
Intimate feelings are the truest
Hakka people in the world
Are united in remembering homesickness
[And] acknowledging [their] blood is denser than water
They have careers and success
Hakka struggles are energetic
They can succeed for they have a reason

* The honor of being magistrates is bestowed [on them]
And people respect [them]
They help the poor and help the needing
And are very warm-hearted
Don't ask them about their own family background
I see the great feelings
That self-made people have
[And] don't forget [I'm] originally a Hakka person

*

Respect old Hakka people...




赖冰霞的“深深的爱”(video

此心常相依
此情永不移
我心无所系
只有一个你
上有蓝蓝的天
下有青青的地
我们立下誓言
你只有我我只有你
情要多回忆
爱要多珍惜
今生今世里
永远记得你

(所有从开始)

永远记得你


"Deep love", by Lai Bingxia

These hearts often rely on each other
This love will never move
My heart has no other relationships
[It] just has you
Above there is a blue blue sky
Below there is a black black earth
We made a promise
You'd only have me I'd only have you
[You] should remember affection a lot
[You] should cherish love a lot
In this life [and] in this world
[I] will always remember you

(All from the start)

[I] will always remember you




邓丽君的“无奈” (video, blog post)

我本来打算
离你远去
从此不再提起你
看着你一脸茫然
眼眶是泪滴
我无能为力

心中的无奈
像一根线
牵绊着我还有你
我实在实在
没有勇气
来抛下这情意

这一刻虽然
默默无语
但是我心在哭泣
求求你不要问我
为什么戚戚
我无法回答你

也许有一天
我离开你
请相信是不得已
我心中心中
有个秘密
却无法告诉你

我青梅竹马
童年伴侣
如今又与我相聚
我们两从前有过
爱情的默契
今生要在一起

这一份无奈
隐藏心底
该选择他还有你
你教我教我
怎么处理
这三角的难题

你教我教我
怎么处理
这三角的难题


Teresa Teng's "Helplessness" (video, blog post)

I originally planned
To go far from you
And not mention you from now on
But seeing your confused face
And the tears in [your] eyes
I feel powerless

The helplessness in [my] heart
Is like a thread
And you're still entangling me
I really really
Don't have the courage
To leave this affection

Though at this moment
I'm silent and wordless
My heart is crying
I beg you don't ask me
Why [I'm] sorrowful
I can't answer you

Maybe one day
I'll leave you
Believe me, it will be against [my] will
In my heart in [my[ heart
There is a secret
But I can't tell you

My childhood companion
I shared an innocent affection with
Has now come together with me again
The two of us had
A silent agreement of love
And must stay together in this life

This helplessness
Hidden in [my] heart:
Should I choose him or you?
You teach me teach me
How to deal with
This three-cornered problem

You teach me teach me
How to deal with
This three-cornered problem




小凤凤的“真的爱只有你”(闽南语, video, blog post

女:想你想你阮1想你
看你看你离开
伤心参着目屎眼泪流几
害阮1心疼心痛恨天
男:一年一年一年

命运创治的过去
为何当初离开

*女:梦中猶原仍然甜蜜的相思
手中只你我的相片照片
男:你拆散的月
着苦澀的滋味
女:梦你今夜转来回到1身边
等你总有一日回心转意
男:未来怎样来证明
合:阮1的真爱只有你

所有从开始



男:未来怎样来证明
合:阮1的真爱只有你

1 注意 (dialect note):闽语的人称代词 闽语有七个
人称代替:「我 | guá」,就是「我」;
「你 | lí」,就是「你」;「伊 | i」,就是
「他、她、它」;「阮 | guán / gún」,
意思是「我们、不包括你」;「咱」,
就是「咱们」,意思是「我们、也包括你」;
「恁 | lín」,就是「你们」;「亻因 | in」,
就是「他们」。在歌曲里常常只有一个我
和一个你而没有别人,所以「阮」常常跟「我」
一样、「咱」常常跟「你我」一样。




Xiao Fengfeng's "I really love you alone" (Min Nan, video, blog post)

Woman: Miss you miss you I miss you
[I] see you [I] see you will leave
I've cried tears and been sad for several nights
[You] made me heartbroken, [I] want to hate the sky
Man: Year after year after year
Night after night I've grieved all the night
The past with which fate teased us
Why did [we] want to leave it in the beginning?

* Woman: With the pining still warm in my dreams
In my hand I have only photos of us left
Man: During the nights [I] was broken up with you
[I] tasted a bitter taste
Woman: I dream [you]'ll come back to my side tonight
[I] wait for you to surely change your mind one day
Man: How will the future testify
Both: That I really love you alone?

All from start

*

Man: How will the future testify
Both: That I really love you alone?




杨静的“我的心內只有你”(闽南语, video, blog post)

窗外小雨落
到底你是在哪里
有你陪伴的日子
人生过着才有意义
对你付出真情意
爱你永远后悔
希望你会了解
我的心内只有你

*你过爱的世界
有我就有你
心甘情愿
对你付出真情
我的人生
已经完全交
望你会当能够赶紧
转来回到我的身边
所以我求求你
我离开你
除了你我袂当不能过着
幸福的日子

问你一句话
敢对你来
只有写
我的心内只有你
对你付出真情
爱你永远后悔
希望你会了解
我会为你来等待

*两次
除了你我袂当不能过着
幸福的日子


Yang Jing's "In my heart there's you alone" (Min Nan)

Soft rain outside the window doesn't stop falling
Where are you in the end?
Only in the days you accompanied me
Living [my] life had a meaning
[I] had true feelings for you
[I] never regretted loving you
I hope you can understand
In my heart there is only you

* You said that in the world of love
If I was t here you would be there
[I] willingly
Put in true affection towards you
My life
[I]'ve already given wholly to you
[I] hope you can quickly
Come back to my side
So I beg you
Don't let me leave you
Without you I cannot have
Happy days

[I] want to ask you a question
[But] dare not come speak to you
[I] only write a letter and send it to you
In my heart there is only you
[I] had true feelings for you
[I] never regretted loving you
I hope you can understand
I will wait for you

* twice
Without you I cannot have
Happy days




邓丽君的“千言万语” (video 1, 1:32-4:46, video 2)

不知道为了什么
忧愁它围绕着我
我每天都在祈祷
快赶走爱的寂寞

那天起,你对我说
永远的爱着我
千言和万语
随浮云掠过

不知道为了什么
忧愁它围绕着我
我每天都在祈祷
快赶走爱的寂寞

所有从开始


Teresa Teng's "Thousands of words"

I don't know why
Grief is surrounding me
Each day I'm praying
I can quickly chase away the loneliness of love

When that day started, you told me
[You]'d always love me
A thousand words
Were swept away with floating clouds

I don't know why
Grief is surrounding me
Each day I'm praying
I can quickly chase away the loneliness of love

All from start
