L: Olive tree

Hello (^_^)!

I am replacing the old *GIF* format of these lyrics, for a printer friendly format. Well, the truth is, it’s all Imageshack commands.

Right now, you can either get the gif format lyrics in this link, or come back in a few days for the text version.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you!

According to ZF "Olive Tree" (橄榄树, Ganlanshu) is the typical song sung by dozens of artists. The first version I listened to was performed by Chyi Yu (she made quite a cheese out of the song, but I must confess I liked it).

It's easy, repetitive, and the lyrics are quite simple. Perfect to begin with, ain't it?

L&M: Teresa Teng: Small Town Story

Back to Teresa Teng...

This song is called "Xiao Cheng GuShi" (Small town Story).

In these lyrics, you have the traditional characters
(yellowish, to the left) and the simplified characters (pinkish, to the right)
with tone indication.

The translation is word by word.

*Listen to the song*

Chinese tattoos?

I already mentioned somewhere: Do not ask me about a Chinese tattoo you want done or you got done. It would probably be painful for both of us.

In case you still have doubts, visit Hanzismatter's blog. You will be given reasons to change your mind.

Note: The guy in the pic is an IDIOT, or at least that's what the Chinese Characters say.

L: Jay Chou, Tornado

Maybe one of Jay Chou´s most famous songs.

I'm sorry; a few traditional characters are intermingled with the simplified ones.

Allrighty...

I'm no computer geek, but today much of my time has been spent converting the Chinese Characters into low-resolution image files.

Hopefully nobody will complain now about THAT.
