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

tiānkōng huī de xiàng kūguò
líkāi nǐ yǐhòu
bìng méiyǒu gēng zìyóu
suān suān de kōngqì
shǒuzhù wǒmen de jùlí
yī mù zuìxīn de jiéjú
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

chōuti fán huáng de rìjì
zhǎodàole huíyì
nà xiàoróng shì shǎqì
nǐwǒ de guòqù
bèi shēnshēn zhēnde wàngjì
quēyǎng guò hòu de àiqíng
cúnxīn de yǎnlèi shì duōyú

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
☆歌词提供:再兴☆

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

飞: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

飞: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

合: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

飞: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

飞: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

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

飞: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-

我的小时候
吵闹任性的时侯
我的外婆
总会唱歌哄我
wǒ de xiǎoshíhòu
chǎonào rènxìng de shí hóu
wǒ de wàipó
zǒng huì chànggē hōng wǒ

夏天的午后
老老的歌安慰我
那首歌好象这样唱的
xiàtiān de wǔ hòu
lǎo lǎo de gē ānwèi wǒ
nà shǒu gē hǎoxiàng zhèyàngde chàng de

天黑黑欲落雨
天黑黑黑黑
(ti ho ho veu leo ho--- ti ho ho ho ho ) tiān hēihēi yù luò yǔ

离开小时候
有了自己的生活
新鲜的歌
新鲜的念头
líkāi xiǎoshíhòu
yǒule zìjǐde shēnghuó
xīnxiān de gē
xīnxiān de niàntou

任性和冲动
无法控制的时候
我忘记
还有这样的歌
rènxìng hé chōngdòng
wúfǎ kòngzhì de shíhou
wǒ wàngjì
hái yǒu zhèyàngde gē

天黑黑欲落雨
天黑黑黑黑
(ti ho ho veu leo ho--- ti ho ho ho ho ) tiān hēihēi yù luò yǔ

我爱上让我奋不顾身的一个人
我以为这就是我所追求的世界
(*) wǒ àishàng ràng wǒ fèn bùgù shēn de yī ge rén
yǐwéi zhè jiùshì wǒ suǒ zhuīqiú de shìjiè

然而横冲直撞被误解被骗
是否成人的世界背后总有残缺
ránér héng chōng zhí zhuàng bèi wùjiě bèi piàn
shìfǒu chéngrén de shìjiè bèihòu zǒng yǒu cán quē

我走在每天必须面对的分岔路
我怀念过去单纯美好的小幸福
wǒ zǒu zài měitiān bìxū miànduì de fēn chà lù
wǒ huáiniàn guòqù dānchún měihǎo de xiǎo xìngfú

爱总是让人哭
让人觉得不满足
天空很大却看不清楚
好孤独
ài zǒngshì ràngrén kū
ràngrén juéde bùmǎn zú
tiānkōng hěn dà què kàn bùqīngchǔ
hǎo gūdú

(repeat *)

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….
tiān hēi de shíhou
wǒ yòu xiǎngqǐ nà shǒu gē
tūrán qīdài
xià qǐ ānjìng de yǔ
yuánlái wàipó de dàolǐ zǎo jiù chàng gěi wǒ tīng
xià qǐ yǔ yě yào yǒnggǎn qiánjìn ….

我相信一切都会平息
我现在好想回家去
wǒ xiāngxìn yīqiè dōuhuì píngxī
wǒ xiànzài hǎo xiǎng huíjiāqù

天黑黑欲落雨
天黑黑黑黑
(ti ho ho veu leo ho--- ti ho ho ho ho ) tiān hēihēi yù luò yǔ

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.
