Meteor Garden: Qing Fei De Yi

Meteor Garden is one of the most famous Taiwanese dramas out there. It is based on the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango. Meteor Garden also gave birth to F4, an extremely famous boy band made up of the male leading actors of the drama.

What follows is the title song for the first series of the drama, sung by Harlem Yu. I have decided to post a chapter of MG, instead of Harlem Yu's video, for obvious reasons.

Below, you'll find the lyrics, as well as a batch of links that might interest you, if you're into MG.


..
难以忘记初次见你 一双迷人的眼睛
nányǐ wàngjì chū cì jiàn nǐ   yī shuāng mírén de yǎnjīng
在我脑海里 你的身影 挥散不去
zài wǒ nǎo hǎilǐ   nǐ de shēnyǐng   huī sǎn bù qù
握你的双手感觉你的温柔
wò nǐ de shuāngshǒu gǎnjué nǐ de wēnróu
真的有点透不过气 你的天真 我想珍惜
zhēnde yǒudiǎn tòubùguò qì   nǐ de tiānzhēn   wǒ xiǎng zhēnxī
看到你受委屈 我会伤心
kàndào nǐ shòu wěiqū   wǒ huì shāngxīn

It's hard to forget the first time I saw you
that fascinating pair of eyes
In my mind your image couldn't get it out of my head
When I hold your hands and feel your tenderness
It's really a bit too much for me to handle
Your innocence is something I want to treasure
if you're wronged by anyone I will grieve

只怕我自己会爱上你 不敢让自己靠的太近
zhǐ pà wǒ zìjǐ huì àishàng nǐ   bùgǎn ràng zìjǐ kào de tài jìn
怕我没什么能够给你 爱你也需要很大的勇气
pà wǒ méishénme nénggòu gěi nǐ   ài nǐ yě xūyào hěn dà de yǒngqì

I'm just afraid I will fall in love with you - Dare not let myself come too close to you
I fear not having something to offer you - Loving you may require a lot of courage too

只怕我自己会爱上你 也许有天会情不自禁
zhǐ pà wǒ zìjǐ huì àishàng nǐ   yěxǔ yǒu tiān huì qíng bù zì jīn
想念只让自己苦了自己 爱上你是我情非得已
xiǎngniàn zhǐ ràng zìjǐ kǔ le zìjǐ   àishàng nǐ shì wǒ qíng fēi děi yǐ
爱上你是我情非得已
àishàng nǐ shì wǒ qíng fēi děi yǐ
I'm just afraid I will fall in love with you - Maybe one day I won't control it anymore
Thinking just makes one suffer - I just can't help falling in love with you

什么原因 我竟然又会遇见你shénme yuányīn   wǒ jìngrán yòu huì yùjiàn nǐ
我真的真的不愿意 就这样陷入爱的陷阱wǒ zhēnde zhēnde bùyuànyì   jiù zhèyàngde xiànrù ài de xiànjǐng

What’s the reason why I suddenly met you again
I really really don’t want to
fall into this love trap...

Fahrenheit - Finding happiness for you

Here we go again with the Taiwanese cutipies Fahrenheit. This song is several months old already; it belongs to their album, Fahrenheit.
....

不顾一切的勇气
不会说谎的眼睛
爱你不需要经过你同意

bùgù yīqiè de yǒngqì
A game in which nothing else matters
bùhuì shuōhuǎng de yǎnjīng
Eyes that don't know how to lie
ài nǐ bù xūyào jīngguò nǐ tóngyì
I don't need your permission to love you

放掉手中的回忆
像空中飞人别犹豫
我一定会抓住你

fàng diào shǒu zhōng de huíyì
Throw away those memories you still keep
xiàng kōngzhōng fēi rén bié yóuyù
Don't hesitate, just fly
wǒ yīdìng huì zhuāzhù nǐ
I will catch you, that's for sure

想念从每一天张开眼睛就开始
每个心跳都在提醒

xiǎngniàn cóng měiyī tiān zhāngkāi yǎnjīng jiù kāishǐ
Everyday, from the moment I open my eyes I start thinking of you
měige xīntiào dōu zài tíxǐng
and with every beat of my heart it reminds me...

***talk to me***

说我有这个荣幸
翻天覆地找幸福给你

***talk to me***
shuō wǒ yǒu zhège róngxìng
Tell me I am honored
fān tiān fù dì zhǎo xìngfú gěi nǐ
to turn upside down heaven and earth
...to find happiness for you


拥有喜欢的事让人变坚强
baby holding me
我的天堂就在你手里

yōngyǒu xǐhuan de shì ràngrén biàn jiānqiáng
Just my liking you gives me strength
baby holding me
wǒ de tiāntáng jiù zài nǐ shǒu lǐ
My paradise is just in your hands

承受所有的雨滴
像大海无边又无际
包容你是我温柔的使命

chéngshòu suǒyǒu de yǔdī
The raindrops in this legend
xiàng dàhǎi wúbiān yòu wú jì
are like the ocean, don't have limits
bāoróng nǐ shì wǒ wēnróu de shǐmìng
Holding you is my mission

把让你伤心的人都忘记
我会治好你的心
天使不是谁都爱得起

bà ràng nǐ shāngxīn de rén dōu wàngjì
Forget all those people who have hurt you
wǒ huì zhìhǎo nǐ de xīn
I will heal your heart
tiānshǐ bù shì shéi dōu ài děi qǐ
Angels can't be loved by just anyone

我终于明白双手存在的意义
为了抜卫心爱的你
***talk to me...***

wǒ zhōngyú míngbai shuāngshǒu cúnzài de yìyì
I finally understand why I have two hands
wéile ba wèi xīnài de nǐ
In order to defend you, the love of my heart
***talk to me...***


让 人 刻 骨 铭 心 什 么 都 不 怕
rang ren ke gu ming xin shen me dou bu pa
You're totally unforgettable and you make me fear nothing
...

让 人 刻 骨 铭 心
什 么 都 不 怕
找 幸 福 给 你

ràng rén kè gǔ míng xīn
shén ma dū bù pà
zhǎo xìng fú gěi nǐ
You're totally unforgettable
I'm not afraid of anything
Finding happiness for you

Rainie Yang: Ai Mei

Another song by Rainie Yang, from the drama Devil Beside You.

..

(You'll find the pinyin version and the translation below)

暧昧

暧昧让人受尽委屈
找不到相爱的证据
何时该前进 何时该放弃
连拥抱都没有勇气

只能陪你到这里
毕竟有些事不可以
超过了友情 还不到爱情
远方就要下雨的风景

到底该不该哭泣
想太多是我还是你
我很不服气 也开始怀疑
眼前的人 是不是同一个真实的你

暧昧让人受尽委屈
找不到相爱的证据
何时该前进 何时该放弃
连拥抱都没有勇气

暧昧让人变得贪心
直到等待失去意义
无奈我和你 写不出结局
放遗憾的美丽 停在这里



PINYIN:

**ENGLISH**

Ambiguity makes people feel wronged
They cannot find the evidence of love
Is it the right time to move closer, or the right time to give up
Can't even bring up the courage to hug one another

I can only accompany you up to here
After all, there are some things that cannot be
We've moved past friendship, but have not quite reached love
Far in the distance, the view looks rainy

Should I cry or not?
Is it me or you who is thinking too much?
I'm very frustrated, and I am starting to suspect
Is the person before me really the same and real you?

Ambiguity makes people feel wronged
They cannot find the evidence of love
Is it the right time to move closer, or the right time to give up
Can't even bring up the courage to hug one another

Ambiguity makes people become greedy
Until waiting has lost all of its meaning
There is no choice for us; we cannot write out our own ending
Let the beauty of regret and loss...stop right here

whoa whoa, whoa whoa
mmm... whoa

Bye, Viagra seller!

Finally, Chinat0wn is back where it should be. The Viagra seller who occupied it was banned by Blogger, so I was able to recover this space.

Look, even my poor Panda is starving...

I hope to be able to recover all those visitors who flew away, thinking I had turned into a spammer! I made a couple entries in the meantime...

Jay Chou + Hebe, Stepping back

....

(ENGLISH BELOW)


天空灰的像哭过
离开你以后
并没有更自由
酸酸的空气
守住我们的距离
一幕醉心的结局
像呼吸般无法停息

xiàng hūxī bān wúfǎ tíng xī

抽屉泛黄的日记
找到了回忆
那笑容是傻气
你我的过去
被深深真的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情
存心的眼泪是多余

我知道你我都没有错
只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给的承诺
全被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错
只是放手比较好过
最美的爱情回忆里带去

Stepping back

The sky is so gray that it looks like it just cried
After leaving you I am not more free
From the sour air I get the scent of our distance
Our new heart breaking ending
is, just like breathing, endless


The yellowing diary lied in the drawer
has found our memories
That smile is summer
Our past together
Has finally really been forgotten
After love, the lack of oxygen is unnecessary, like tears of the stars

I know that neither of us are to blame
We just forgot how to retreat
We made promises to each other with confidence
Yet it has been emptied by time
I know that neither of us are to blame
It’s just that letting go would make things easier
The most beautiful love is that one that continues in our memories

Fahrenheit - I only have feelings for you

====

飞:无解的眼神心像海底针
wu jie de yan shen, xin xiang hai di zhen
A look that can't be understood; A heart that is like a needle at the bottom of the sea

光是猜测我食欲不振
guang shi cai shi, wo shi yu bu zhen
Using only guessing methods; I feel that I have no appetite

有点烦人又有点迷人
you dian fan ren, you you dian mi ren
It's a little irritating, yet it mesmerises at the same time

h:浪漫没天份 反应够迟钝
lang man mei tian fen, fan ying gou chi dun
There's no fate for romance; Our response is too slow

不够谨慎花挑错颜色
bu gou jin shen, hua tiao cuo yan se
Not discrete enough; Choosing the wrong colour of the flowers

但很矛盾 喜歡你的笨
dan hen mao dun, xi huan ni de ben
But it's contradictory; I like your stupidity

:微笑再美再甜 不是你的都不特别
wei xiao, zai mei, zai tian, bu shi ni de, dou bu te bie
A smile, no matter how beautiful, how sweet, as long as it's not yours, it's not special

h:眼泪再苦再咸 有你安慰又是晴天
yan lei, zai ku, zai xian, you ni an wei, you shi qing tian
Tears, no matter how bitter, how salty, with your condolences, it's a clear day yet again

:靠的再近再贴 少了拥抱就算太远
kao de, zai jin, zai tie, shao le yong bao, jiu suan tai yuan
No matter how close, how intimate you are, without a hug, it's considered too far

:全世界只对你有感觉
quan shi jie zhi dui ni (ni) you gan jue
The whole world only has feelings for you

:玩的再疯再野 你瞪一眼我就收敛
wan de, zai feng, zai ye, ni deng yi yan, wo jiu shou lian
No matter how crazy, how wild we play, once you stare at me, I'll keep my feelings

h:马路再宽再远 只要你牵就很安全
ma lu, zai kuan, zai yuan, zhi yao ni qian, jiu hen an quan
No matter how broad and far the road is, as long as you hold my hand, it's very safe

:我会又乖又黏 温柔体贴绝不敷衍
wo hui, you guai, you nian, wen rou ti tie, jue bu fu yan
I'll be good and stick close to you, and be dedicated, and not be fake

:我只对你有感觉
wo zhi dui ni you gan jue
I only have feelings for you

:体贴却黏人 爱哭却温顺
ti tie que nian ren, ai ku que wen shun
Dedicated yet 'sticky'; Like to cry yet docile

有时天真有时很邪恶
you shi tian zhen, you shi hen xie er
Naive at times, yet scheming at times

对你耍狠就是舍不得
dui ni shua hen, jiu shi she bu de
Showing 'hate' to you, means that I can't bear to leave you

h:请吸收养分 让脑袋平衡
qing xi shou yang fen, rang nao dai ping hen
Please take in the nutrients, to balance your brain

要你现身动作慢吞吞
yao ni xian shen, dong zui man tun tun
Want you to appear, yet your actions are so slow

怎麽承认我非你不可
zen me cheng ren, wo fei ni bu ke
How can I admit that I can't live without you

Chinat0wn occupied by Spam blogger

This blog, formerly chinat0wn.blogspot.com, was hacked about 2 weeks ago. In the address, instead of the songs, appeared a page aiming to sell Viagra and similar stuff.

Luckily, that spam blog was blocked by Blogger. I have waited for a few days to see if the author would be kind enough to take his spam offers somewhere else, but he hasn't.

And that's the reason why Chinat0wn is now kala0k. After all, it is what it's about.

I'm sorry for any inconveniences.

Yanzi: Black sky


Here is another song by Sun Yan Zi, 天黑黑. It is an adaptation of a traditional Taiwanese folksong. It includes in the chorus the first six words in the original Hokkien/Taiwanese - “ti ho ho veu leo ho” - (sorry, I have no idea how to romanize it. If you can help me plz leave a comment).

天黑黑欲落雨

新鲜的歌
新鲜的念头

好孤独

天黑的时候
我又想起那首歌
突然期待
下起安静的雨
原来外婆的道理早就唱给我听
下起雨也要勇敢前进….

ENGLISH

When I was a little girl and being uneasy
My grandmother would always sing to calm me down
On summer afternoons, grandma's old song would comfort me
The song went like this:

Black, black sky, it’s gonna start raining soon. Black, black sky.

My childhood left behind, with a life of my own
Fresh songs, fresh ideas
When I can’t control my uneasy and impulsive feelings,
I forget I still have this song

Black, black sky, it’s gonna start raining soon. Black, black sky.

I fell in love with a person I could risk my life for
I thought this was the world I was looking for
However, I fumbled, was misunderstood and deceived
Is it that behind the world of an adult, there has to be always something going wrong?

I walk everyday, facing the road before me
I miss the beautiful little happiness of my childhood
Love always makes people cry, makes peopledissatisfied
The sky is so immense and yet I can’t see clearly - how lonely

When the sky is cloudy, I remember that song
And wait for the quiet rain to fall
It carries the truth that grandma sung to me back then
That even if it rains, we must bravely continue
I believe everything will eventually calm down
Right now I really wish to go back home
Black, black sky, it’s gonna start raining soon.
