Fish never stop swimming

Back to English today, and for the rest of the blog posts, if nothing new pops up. Love last time, love this time too, with a Chinese song titled 一天到晚游泳的鱼 | Yītiāndàowǎn yóuyǒng de yú, "Fish that swim all the day until the evening", which I met sometime between Jun 22 and mid-July 2013 and translated to English way later in the evening of Jan 12 2018. Actually, since I'm trascribing all the unsubbed parts too, I need to translate them now, and the line division requires me to adapt the «Swimming swimming swimming swimming joyfully» to allow a line break in the middle of the third "swimming", and I need a second version of the line for when "shui zhong" is replaced by "manman". New bits and adaptation date 8/9/18 past 22:15. Let's see!


情愿困在你怀中
困在你温柔
不想一个人寂寞
无边漂泊
就象鱼儿水里游
你的心河流向我
不眠不休的追求

*一天到晚游泳的鱼啊
鱼不停游
一天到晚想你的人啊
爱不停休
从来不想回头
不问天长地久*
因为我的爱
覆水难收

多少喜乐在心中
慢慢游
多少忧愁不肯走
流向心头
就像鱼儿水里游
永远不会问结果
他们知道爱情
没尽头

#一天到晚游泳的鱼啊
鱼不停游
一天到晚想你的人啊
爱不停休
沧海多么辽阔
再也不能回首
只要你心里
永远留我

女伴:
鱼儿鱼儿鱼儿水中游,
游啊游啊游,
啊游到乐悠悠,
鱼儿鱼儿鱼儿慢慢游,
游啊游啊游,
啊游到乐悠悠




(跟女伴:)因为我的爱

(一个人:)覆水难收

女伴:

游啊游啊游,

女伴:啊游到乐悠悠。
雨声:追求1没有尽头

呣呣呣呣呣
雨声:不问天长地久

雨声:从来不想回头

女伴:

I'd rather be trapped in your hugs
And your tenderness
Don't want to wander endlessly
All on my own
Like the fish in water swim
Your heart's feelings flow to me:
A never-ending pursuit

* Fish that swim all day till the evening
They never stop
I think of you all day till the evening
My love never rests
Never wanted to turn
Did not ask for eternity *
Damage's already done:
I'm in love with you

How much joy inside my heart
Slowly roams
How much pain doesn't wish to leave
And flows to my heart
Fishes that in water swim
Never ask for a result
'Cause they know that love
Will never end

# Fish that swim all day till the evening
They never stop
I think of you all day till the evening
My love never rests
Oh the ocean's so vast
I can never come back
Just want to always stay inside your heart

Backup girls:
Fishes fishes fishes in the sea
Swim, oh, swim, oh, swim,
They swim so joyfully.
Fishes fishes fishes so slowly
Swim, oh, swim, oh, swim,
They swim so joyfully.
