Jay Chou: Rainbow

I am very sorry for these months of absence (I must say I have a very good reason for not posting so often). Thanks to those who keep dropping by and leaving comments.

I am a big fan of Jay Chou. Today I'm posting his song Cai Hong (Rainbow) which can be found in his previous work, 我很忙 (On the Run) and was featured as the 2nd single of that album. If you spot any mistakes in the Chinese or in the pinyin let me know (I am using now a new tool for annotating Chinese, ZDT, and as most annotation tools out there it sometimes changes the pinyin).


彩虹
Cai Hong
Rainbow
..

哪里有彩虹告诉我
能不能把我的愿望还给我
为什么天这么安静
所有雲都跑到我这里

nǎ li yǒu cǎi hong gào su wǒ
néng bù néng bà wǒ de yuàn wàng hái gěi wǒ
wèi shén me tiān zhè me ān jìng
suǒ yǒu yún dōu pǎo dào wǒ zhè lǐ

Where is the rainbow, tell me
can't you give me back my wish?
Why is the sky so quiet
all the clouds are coming to me


有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

yǒu méi yǒu kǒu zhào yī gè gěi wǒ
shì huái shuo le tài duō jiù chéng zhēn bù liǎo
yě xǔ shí jiān shì yī zhòng jiě yao
yě shì wǒ xiàn zài zhèng fú xìa dí dú yào

Is there a mask you can give me?
We can get nothing out of recalling too much what was said
Maybe the time is a kind of cure
and at the same time it is the first poison I am taking


看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳还是会绕
没有理由我也能自己走

kàn bú jiàn nǐ de xiào wǒ zěn me shuì děi zhāo
nǐ de shēn yǐng zhè me jìn wǒ què bào bù dào
méi yǒu dì qiú tài yáng hái shì hui rào
méi yǒu lǐ yóu wǒ yě néng zì jǐ zǒu

I cannot see your smile, who am I supposed to sleep?
Your image is so close to me, but I can't get to hold it
The Sun can still go round without Earth
There's no reason why I couldn't walk alone


你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

nǐ yāo lí kāi wǒ zhī dao hěn jiǎn dān
nǐ shuo yī lài shì wǒ men dí zǔ ài
jiù suàn fàng kāi nà néng bù néng biè mò shōu wǒ de ài
dàng zuò wǒ zuì hòu cái míng bai

You want to leave, I know it is quite simple.
You say dependece is what blocks us
Given that this is breaking up can't you still receive my love
Seeming I am the last to understand


有没有口罩一个给我
释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

yǒu méi yǒu kǒu zhào yī gè gěi wǒ
shì huái shuì le tài duō jiù chéng zhēn bù liǎo
yě xǔ shí jiān shì yī zhòng jiě yao
yě shì wǒ xiàn zài zhèng fú xìa dí dú yào

Is there a mask...

看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳还是会绕
没有理由我也能自己走

kàn bú jiàn nǐ dí xiào wǒ zěn me shuì děi zhāo
nǐ dí shēn yǐng zhè me jìn wǒ què bào bù dào
méi yǒu dì qiú tài yáng hái shì hui rào
méi yǒu lǐ yóu wǒ yě néng zì jǐ zǒu

I cannot see your smile, who am I supposed...

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

nǐ yāo lí kāi wǒ zhī dao hěn jiǎn dān
nǐ shuo yī lài shì wǒ men dí zǔ ài
jiù suàn fàng kāi nà néng bù néng biè mò shōu wǒ de ài
dàng zuò wǒ zuì hòu cái míng bai

看不见你的笑
要我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球太阳开始环绕环绕
没有理由我也能自己走掉
是我说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药解药
也是我现在正服下的毒药

kàn bú jiàn nǐ de xiào
yāo wǒ zěn me shuì děi zhāo
nǐ dí shēn yǐng zhè me jìn wǒ què bào bù dào
méi yǒu dì qiú tài yáng kāi shǐ huán rào huán rào
méi yǒu lǐ yóu wǒ yě néng zì jǐ zǒu diào
shì wǒ shuì le tài duō jiù chéng zhēn bù liǎo
yě xǔ shí jiān shì yī zhòng jiě yao jiě yao
yě shì wǒ xiàn zài zhèng fú xìa dí dú yào

你要离开我知道很简单
你说依赖是我们的阻碍
就算放开那能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

nǐ yāo lí kāi wǒ zhī dao hěn jiǎn dān
nǐ shuì yī lài shì wǒ men dí zǔ ài
jiù suàn fàng kāi nà néng bù néng biè mò shōu wǒ de ài

Jay Chou: Listen to your mum

I'm back... I have been extremely busy moving back to my country.

What follows is a 2006 song by Jay Chou... Listen to what your mum says!


..


听妈妈的话
ting mama de hua

小朋友 你是否有很多问号 为什麽
xiǎopéngyǒu ��nǐ shìfǒu yǒu hěn duō wèn hào ��wèishénme
Little children, do you have a lot of questions, why

别人在那看漫画 我却在学画画 对著钢琴说话
biérén zài ��kān mànhuà ��wǒ què zài xué huàhuà ��duì zhe gāngqín shuōhuà
When other kids are reading manga, I am learning to draw and learning to communicate with the piano

别人在玩遊戏 我却靠在墙壁背我的ABC
biérén zài wán youxì ��wǒ què kào zài qiángbì bēi wǒde ABC
When other kids are playing games, I am leaning on the wall memorizing my ABCs

我说我要一台大大的飞机 我却得到一台旧旧录音机
wǒ shuō wǒ yào yī táidàdàdefēijī ��wǒ què dédào yī tái jiù jiù lùyīnjī
I said that I wanted a large airplane, but I got an old recorder


为什麽 要听妈妈的话 长大後你就会开始懂得这种话
wèishénme ��yào tīng māma dehuà ��zhǎngdà ��nǐ jiù huì kāishǐ dǒngde zhèzhǒng huà
Why should I listen to mother's words? When you grow up you will understand what I am saying

长大後我开始明白 为什麽我跑的比别人快 飞的比别人高
zhǎngdà ��wǒ kāishǐ míngbai ��wèishénme wǒ pǎo de bǐ biérén kuài ��fēi de bǐ biérén gāo
After I got older I started to realize why I run faster than others and fly further than other people

将来大家看的都是我画的漫画 大家唱的都是 我写的歌
jiānglái dàjiā kān de dōu shì wǒ huà de mànhuà ��dàjiāchàng de dōu shì ��wǒ xiě de gē
In the future, people will be reading my mangas and all the songs they sing will be written by me

妈妈的辛苦 不让你看见 温暖的食谱在她心里面
māma de xīnkǔ ��bùràng nǐ kànjiàn ��wēnnuǎn de shípǔ zài tā xīnli miàn
Mother's hard work isn't seen by others. She knows the warm recipe by heart

有空就多多握握她的手 把手牵著一起梦遊
yǒukòng jiù duōduō wò wò tā de shǒu ��bǎshǒu qiān zhe yīqǐ mèng you
When you have time, hold her hand and dream together

听妈妈的话 别让她受伤 想快快长大 才能保护她

Listen to mother's words, don't let her get hurt. You want to grow up quickly so you can take care of her

美丽的白髮 幸福中发芽 天使的魔法 温暖中慈祥
měilì de bái f��a- xìngfú Zhong fāyá ��tiānshǐ de mófǎ ��wēnnuǎn Zhong cíxiáng
Beautiful white hair, growing inside happiness. Angel's magic benevolence within (her) gentleness

在你的未来 音乐是你的王牌 拿王牌谈个恋爱
zài nǐde wèilái ��yīnyuè shì nǐde wángpái ��ná wángpái Tán Ge liànài
In your future, music is your key to success, use it to get into a relationship

唉 我不想把你教坏 还是听妈妈的话吧 晚点在恋爱吧
āi ��wǒ bù xiǎng bǎ nǐ jiāo huài ��hái shì tīng māma dehuà ba ��wǎndiǎn zài liànài ba
Sigh, I don't want to teach you to be a bad kid. Why don't you listen to what your mother says and get in a relationship later

我知道你未来的路 当妈比我更清楚
wǒ zhīdào nǐ wèilái de lù ��dāng mā bǐ wǒ gèng qīngchu
I know your future path, but your mother knows it even better

你会开始学其他同学在书包写东写西
nǐ huì kāishǐ xué qítā tóngxué zài shūbāo xiě dōng xiě xī
You will start imitating friends and write things on your backpack

但我建议你最好写 妈妈我会用功读书
dàn wǒ jiànyì nǐ zuìhǎo xiě ��māma wǒ huì yònggōng dúshū
But I suggest you better write: Mom I will put in my best effort to learn

用功读书 怎麽会从我嘴巴说出
yònggōng dúshū ��zěnme huì cóng wǒ zuǐbā shuōchū
I will study hard, how does that come from my mouth?

不想你输所以要教你 用功读书
bù xiǎng nǐ shū suǒyǐ yào jiāo nǐ ��yònggōng dúshū
I need to teach you because I don\'t want you to lose. Study hard

妈妈织给你的毛衣 你要好好收著
māma zhī gěi nǐde máoyī ��nǐ yào hǎohāo shōu zhe
The sweater mother gave you, you will wear it well

因为母亲节到时我要告诉她 我还留著
yīnwéi mǔqīnjié dào ʱwǒ yào gàosu tā ��wǒ hái liú zhe
Because on Mother\'s Day, I want to tell her, I still have it

对了 我会遇到了周润发
duìle ��wǒ huì yùdào le Zhōu Rùnfā
*Right, I might meet Chow Yun Fat

所以你可以跟同学炫耀 赌神未来是你爸爸
suǒyǐ nǐ kěyǐ gēn tóngxué xuànyào ��dǔ shén wèilái shì nǐ bàba
So you can show off to your friends, \"The God of Gambling will be your father"

我找不到童年写的情书 你写完不要送人
wǒ zhǎobùdào tóngnián xiě de qíngshū ��nǐ xiě wán bù yào sòngrén
I ca\'t find the childhood love letter. Don't give it away after you write it

因为过两天你会在操场上捡到

Zhāng Xuéyǒu kāishǐ zhun bèi chàng wěnbié
Jacky Cheung is about to sing Kiss Goodbye

听妈妈的话 别让她受伤 想快快长大 才能保护她
tīng māma dehuà ��bié ràng tā shòushāng ��xiǎng kuàikuàizhǎngdà ��cáinéng bǎohù tā
Listen to mother's words, do\'t let her get hurt. You want to grow up quickly so you can take care of her and protect her

Beijing Welcomes You

I am extremely busy, but the Beijing Olympics are coming close. I thought I'd put up the wonderful song "Beijing Welcomes You". Many of the artists in the video have been featured in this music blog. How many can you recognise? More later.

Thanks to the Anti CNN subtitle team for the translation.

北京欢迎你

我们在上帝和亲友面前见证
这对男女生就要结为夫妻
不要忘了这一切是多么的神圣
你愿意生死苦乐永远和她在一起
爱惜她尊重她
安慰她保护着她
两人同时建立起美满的家庭
你愿意这样做吗
yes i do!

Love her, respect her, comfort her and protect her
A couple together creates a blissful family, are you willing to do this?
Yes I do

S.H.E: Ni zui jin hai hao ma?

What follows is the ending song for the taiwanese drama 斗牛,要不要 Bullfighting (Dou Niu, yaobuyao?). Find the download link for the song and the guitar chords below.

..


S.H.E

(Lyrics:
HEBE - SELINA - ELLA )


挑一张耶诞卡写上
满满祝福的话
地址写的是心底
你能不能收到它

tiāo yī zhāng yē dàn kǎ xiě shàng
mǎn mǎn zhù fú de huà
dìzhǐ xiě de shì xīn dǐ
nǐ néngbùnéng shōudào tā

天有点冷风有点大
城市宁静而喧哗
这一个冬天我得
一个人走回家

tian yǒudiǎn Lěng- Fēng yǒudiǎn dà
chéngshì níngjìng ér xuānhuā
zhè yī ge dōngtiān wǒ dé
yī gèrén zǒu huíjiā

Chosen a Christmas card, on which I write a message of good wishes
The address is the bottom of my heart, can you receive it?
The day is a bit cold; it's a little bit windy.
The city is peaceful yet noisy.
This winter I return home... alone.

*问自己习惯了吗
wèn zìjǐ xíguàn le ma ?
没有你每到夜里回声变得好大
méiyǒu nǐ měi dào yèli huíshēng biànde hǎo dà
有没有什么好方法

yǒu méiyǒu shénme hǎo fāngfǎ
让寂寞变听话
ràng jìmò biàn tīnghuà

#I ask myself, am I used to it yet?
In the nighttime, without you, the echoes become very loud.
Are there any good way
to tame loneliness?


*最近还好吗
nǐ zuìjìn hái hǎo ma
是不是也在思念里挣扎
shì bù shì yě zài sīniàn lǐ zhēngzhá
你说会记得我还记得吗
nǐ shuō huì jìde wǒ hái jìde ma ?
最近还好吗
nǐ zuìjìn hái hǎo ma
忙碌吗累吗心还会痛吗
mánglù ma lèi ma xīn hái huì tòng ma
如果真不得已忘了我
rúguǒ zhēn bùdéyǐ wàng le wǒ
快向快乐出发
kuài xiàng kuàilè chūfā

*Have you been alright lately?
Are you struggling also with remembrances?
You said you would remember me, do you?
Have you been alright lately?
Are you busy, tired, is your heart still hurting?
In case you couldn't but forget me
hurry and set off to happiness.


有再多的牵挂都
已没有权利表达(没有权利表达)

yǒu zài duō de qiānguàdōu
yǐ méiyǒu quánlì biǎodá (méiyǒu quánlì biǎodá )
旧情人给的问候
比陌生人还尴尬(都还尴尬)
jiù qíngrén gěi de wènhòu
bǐ mòshēngrén hái gàgà (dōu hái gàgà)

I am still struggling with myself,
but I cannot let it show

greetings given by old lovers are
more embarrassing than those by strangers


昨天远了明天还长
回忆模糊但巨大
zuótiān yuǎn le mingtian hái cháng
huíyì móhu dàn jùdà
这样的深夜眼泪要怎样不流下
zhèyàngde shēnyè yǎnlèi yào zěnyàng bù liú xià

Yesterday is far away, tomorrow is long. Memories are vague and yet immense.
What do I have to do to stop these nightly tears from falling?


*问自己习惯了吗
wèn zìjǐ xíguàn le ma ?
没有你每到夜里回声变得好大
méiyǒu nǐ měi dào yèli huíshēng biànde hǎo dà
有没有什么好方法

yǒu méiyǒu shénma hǎo fāngfǎ
让寂寞变听话
ràng jìmò biàn tīnghuà

#I ask myself, am I used to it yet?
In the nighttime, without you, the echoes become very loud.
Are there any good way
to tame loneliness?

Jay Chou + Landy Wen: Wish Me a Happy Birthday

First of all, I want to thank you all for the kind feedback you're giving me.

Today's song is 祝我生日快乐 (Zhu wo sheng ri kuai le). I'm posting two videos for this song; one shows a live duet with Jay Chou and Wen Lan. The other one shows Wen Lan... basically making out with an ultra spectacular Mike He (lucky her). Mike He doesn't sing, btw. Choose your favorite video. The translation and transcription is bellow, as usual. Enjoy!!

UPDATED!! Below you'll find the KTV version of the song (no vocals) as well as a link to the guitar chords of the song.

祝我生日快乐
(Wish me a Happy Birthday)
zhù wǒ shēngrì kuàilè

周杰伦&温岚
zhōu jié lún &Wēn Lán

我知道伤心不能改变什么
那么 让我诚实一点
诚实 难免有不能控制的宣洩
只要关上了门 不必理谁

wǒ zhīdào shāngxīn bùnéng gǎibiàn shénme
nàme ràng wǒ chéngshí yīdiǎn
chéngshí nánmiǎn yǒu bùnéng kòngzhì de xuān xiè
zhǐyào guān shàng le mén bùbì lǐ shéi

I know that being sad won’t change anything
Thus let me be honest for a moment
--Honestly
It’s difficult to avoid indiscreet comments going out of control
Just closing the door there’s no need to pay attention to anybody

一个人坐在空盪包厢裡面
手机 让它休息一夜
难 像切歌切掉回忆的画面
眼泪不能流过十二点

yī gèrén zuò zài kōng dàng bāoxiāng li miàn
shǒujī ràng tā xiūxi yīyè
nán xiàng qiē gē qiēdiào huíyì de huàmiàn
yǎnlèi bùnéng liú guò shí èr diǎn

Sitting by oneself in the empty box of a theater
The mobile phone—let it rest for a night
Difficult – want to cut of the frames of my memories
Tears cannot flow after 12 o’clock

生日快乐 我对自己说
蜡烛点了 寂寞亮了
生日快乐 泪也融了
我要谢谢你给的你拿走的一切

shēngrì kuàilè wǒ duì zìjǐ shuō
làzhú diǎn le jìmò liàng le
shēngrì kuàilè lèi yě róng le
wǒ yào xièxiè nǐ gěi de nǐ názǒu de yīqiè

Happy Birthday, I say to myself
The candles are put out -- As loneliness lights
Happy Birthday -- The tears have melted too
I must thank you for everything you gave—and afterwards took away

还爱你 带一点恨
还要时间 才能平衡
热恋伤痕 幻灭重生
祝我生日快乐
(间奏)

hái ai nǐ dài yīdiǎn hèn
háiyàoshíjiān cáinéng pínghéng
rè liàn shānghén huànmiè chóngshēng
zhù wǒ shēngrì kuàilè

Still loving you and hating you a little
Still hoping that time will bring balance
Loving with passion scars
As the picture frames are recalled
Wish me a Happy Birthday


一个人坐在空盪包厢裡面
手机 让它休息一夜
难 像切歌切掉回忆的画面
眼泪不能流过十二点

yī gèrén zuò zài kōng dang bāoxiāng li miàn
shǒujī ràng tā xiūxi yīyè
nán xiàng qiē gē qiēdiào huíyì de huàmiàn
yǎnlèi bùnéng liú guò shí èr diǎn

Sitting by oneself in the empty box of a theater
The mobile phone—let it rest for a night
Difficult – want to cut of the frames of my memories
The tears cannot flow after 12 o’clock

生日快乐 我对自己说
蜡烛点了 寂寞亮了
生日快乐 泪也融了
我要谢谢你给的你拿走的一切

shēngrì kuàilè wǒ duì zìjǐ shuō
làzhú diǎn le jìmò liàng le
shēngrì kuàilè lèi yě róng le
wǒ yào xièxiè nǐ gěi de nǐ názǒu de yīqiè

Happy Birthday, I say to myself
The candles are put out -- As loneliness lights
Happy Birthday
The tears have melted too
I must thank you for everything you gave—and afterwards took away

还爱你 带一点恨
还要时间 才能平衡
热恋伤痕 幻灭重生
祝我生日快乐

hái ai nǐ dài yīdiǎn hèn
háiyàoshíjiān cáinéng pínghéng
rè liàn shānghén huànmiè chóngshēng
zhù wǒ shēngrì kuàilè

Still loving you and hating you a little
Still hoping that time will bring balance
Loving with passion scars
As the picture frames are recalled
Wish me a Happy Birthday

还爱你 带一点恨
还要时间 才能平衡
热恋伤痕 幻灭重生
祝我生日快乐

Still hoping that time will bring balance
Loving with passion scars
As the picture frames are recalled
Wish me a Happy Birthday

Andy Lau & Kelly Chen: I don't Love You Enough

Andy Lau is another instance of a singer-actor. I don't know what he does best. Some of his songs are very well known. This one is a duet with Kelly Chen.

..
ANDY LAU -KELLY CHEN: I don't love you enough

wo bu gou ai ni

我想我不够爱你 我不曾忘了自己
没那么全心投入 所以会一败涂地
wǒ xiǎng wǒ bùgòu ai - nǐ wǒ bùcéng wàng le zìjǐ
méi nàme quán xīn tóurù - suǒyǐ huì yī bài Tú Dì

I think I don't love you enough, I never forgot myself
I haven't put that much of my heart in this, so I have been defeated

我想我不够爱你 我忘了你的勇气
没办法重来一次 也只好听天由命
wǒ xiǎng wǒ bùgòu ai nǐ -- wǒ wàng le nǐ de yòng qí
méi bànfǎ zhònglái yīcì -- yě zhǐhǎo tīng tiān yóu mìng

I think I don't love you enough, I've forgotten your courage
There's no way to go back to the beginning, so I can only listen to what Fate's got for me


不能在没有月亮的夜里
也不能轻易地闭上眼睛
因为你会出现 在天空或心里
bùnéng zài méiyǒu yuèliàng de yèli
yě bùnéng qīngyìdi bìshàngyǎnjīng
yīnwéi nǐ huì chūxiàn zài tiānkōng huò xīnli

can't be in a moonless night
I also can't easily close my eyes
Because you might appear in the sky or my heart

不能在一望无尽的地方
也不能钻进那拥挤人群
bùnéng zài yī wàng wújǐn de dìfang
yě bùnéng zuānjìn nà yōngjǐ rénqún

I can't be in a place with an endless horizon
I also can't make my way through the crowd


因为寂不寂寞 都会惊醒我
我失去了我不够爱的你

yīnwéi jì bù jìmò dōuhuì jīngxǐng wǒ
wǒ shīqù le wǒ bùgòu ai de nǐ

Because lonely or not, it'll all bring to my mind--
I lost the one I didn't love enough

我想我不够爱你 我不曾忘了自己
没那么全心投入 所以会一败涂地
wǒ xiǎng wǒ bùgòu ai - nǐ wǒ bùcéng wàng le zìjǐ
méi nàme quán xīn tóurù - suǒyǐ huì yī bài Tú Dì

I think I don't love you enough, I never forgot myself
I haven't put that much of my heart in this, so I have been defeated

我想我不够爱你 我忘了你的勇气
没办法重来一次 也只好听天由命
wǒ xiǎng wǒ bùgòu ai nǐ -- wǒ wàng le nǐ de yòng qí
méi bànfǎ zhònglái yīcì -- yě zhǐhǎo tīng tiān yóu mìng

I think I don't love you enough, I've forgotten your courage
There's no way to go back to the beginning, so I can only listen to what Fate's got for me

不能在没有月亮的夜里
也不能轻易地闭上眼睛
因为你会出现 在天空或心里
bùnéng zài méiyǒu yuèliàng de yèli
yě bùnéng qīngyìdi bìshàngyǎnjīng
yīnwéi nǐ huì chūxiàn zài tiānkōng huò xīnli

can't be in a moonless night
I also can't easily close my eyes
Because you might appear in the sky or my heart

不能在一望无尽的地方
也不能钻进那拥挤人群
bùnéng zài yī wàng wújǐn de dìfang
yě bùnéng zuānjìn nà yōngjǐ rénqún

I can't be in a place with an endless horizon
I also can't make my way through the crowd


因为寂不寂寞 都会惊醒我
我失去了我不够爱的你

yīnwéi jì bù jìmò dōuhuì jīngxǐng wǒ
wǒ shīqù le wǒ bùgòu ai de nǐ

Because lonely or not, it'll all bring to my mind--
I lost the one I didn't love enough
