NB: this song will make any Chinese girl tear up after a break up. 这一刻突然觉得好熟悉..............I suddenly feel de-ju-vu 像昨天今天同时在放映..............Like yesterday was happening all over again 我这句语气原来好像你..............The way I speak, sounds like something you would say 不就是我们爱过的证据..............It is not just proof that I loved you, 差一点骗了自己骗了你..............I almost cheated myself, cheated you, 爱与被爱不一定成正比..............To love and be loved is not always in equal amounts, 我知道被疼是一种运气..............I know to be loved makes me lucky, 但我无法完全交出自己..............But I’m not ready to give myself to you, 努力为你改变....................I tried to change for you, 却变不了预留的伏线...............But I could not change, the pressure kept building, 以为在你身边那也算永远............Being by your side, seems a long way away, 仿佛还是昨天 可是昨天已非常遥远..If it was yesterday – but yesterday seems like ages ago, 但闭上我双眼我还看得见...........But when I close my eyes I can still see, 可惜不是你 陪我到最后..........But you are not the one, to hold me in the end, 曾一起走却走失那路口.............We who once walked together, but met a dead end, 感谢那是你 牵过我的手..........I have to thank you, for holding my hand, 还能感受那温柔..................And giving it your all. 那一段我们曾心贴着心.............There was a time, when it was true love, 我想我更有权利关心你.............I thought I had the right to care for you, 可能你已走进别人风景.............But your heart seemed to have left for elsewhere, 多希望也有星光的投影.............And I wished the shadow you that you left would glow. 努力为你改变...................I tried to change for you, 却变不了预留的伏线...............But I could not change, the pressure kept building, 以为在你身边那也算永远............Being by your side, seems a long way away, 仿佛还是昨天....................If it was yesterday 可是昨天已非常遥远..............But yesterday seems like an age ago, 但闭上我双眼我还看得见............But when I close my eyes I can still see, 可惜不是你 陪我到最后..........But you are not the one, to hold me in the end, 曾一起走却走失那路口.............We who once walked together, but met a dead end, 感谢那是你 牵过我的手..........I have to thank you, for holding my hand, 还能感受那温柔..................And giving it your all, 可惜不是你 陪我到最后.........But you are not the one, to hold me in the end, 曾一起走却走失那路口............We who once walked together, but met a dead end, 感谢那是你 牵过我的手.........I have to thank you, for holding my hand, 还能感受那温柔.................And giving it your all. 感谢那是你....................I have to thank you, 牵过我的手....................For holding my hand, 还能温暖我胸口.................And giving it your all. ===================================================================================================================================================== While I encourage any questions, 'quires and qualms, my hope is that rather than simple criticism, we instead make constructive suggestions with specific examples. My initial words are not the end all, but rather the instigation of further creation. =================================================================================================================================================== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semantic nuance Posted March 9, 2011 at 08:13 AM Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 at 08:13 AM Does 'I'm afraid ...." have the connotation of 可惜? How about using 'what a pity' or 'it's a pity that....'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabriellim Posted March 9, 2011 at 12:10 PM Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 at 12:10 PM My own interpretations to some of the lines (in order but not necessarily the following line): 不就是我们爱过的证据..............Is it not proof that we have loved, 但我无法完全交出自己..............But I’m not able to fully give myself to you, 以为在你身边那也算永远............I thought being by your side would last forever 可惜不是你 陪我到最后..........It's a pity you are not the one, to accompany me to the end, 还能感受那温柔.................. can still feel that warmth The singer has another nice song called .
