Promise

[承諾]
Sung by: All.
Composed by: Koma Wong (from Beyond)
Written by: Andy Lau (Mandarin lyrics)



多少人 多少幸福被抢夺
How many people has have their happiness robbed...
多少生活在一瞬间被埋没
how many lives have been extinguished just like that
一切變沉默
everything turned silent
淚光在眼眶閃爍
and tears shine at the edge of the eyes
塵埃沾滿了失落 的輪廓 (情願是我)
The dust that covered all the lost traces (wishing it's me instead)
不必說
There's no need for words.
你們背後還有我
I will always be here
未來就是崎嶇也會陪你過
no matter how hard the future is
一個你 一個我
There's you, and I
扛起不需要脆弱
There's no need to be weak when we're together
前面越走一定會 越寬闊 (你還有我)
..because the road ahead will only get better (because you still have me)
* 誰都會有恐懼面對黑暗的角落
Everyone will be scared to face the darkness
為了你我再苦也不躲
For you, I wouldn't hide no matter how hard it is
我要你重獲 原來的生活
I want you to regain, your normal life
認定了這一輩子的承諾
That will be my promise to you for life.
縱然山搖地破 也要安然渡過 有你有我
Even if tragedies happen again, we will go through it. You, and I.

Haha.. suddenly felt like translating this.
I love the last three lines. Love it even better when it's in Mandarin.
Awesome lyrics.
*This song was written for the earthquake victims from China.

If I Turn Into A Memory

累了 照慣例努力清醒著 也照慣例 想你了
好怕一放心睡了 心跳在夢中 不聽話的 就停止了
As always.. trying to grasping my consciousness, regardless of how tiring it is
and as always, thinking about you.
Fearing that if I were to quietly go to sleep,
my heartbeat will disobediently stop in my dreams.

聽著 呼吸像浪潮拍動著 越沒力越讓我忐忑
我還能珍惜什麼 如果我連自己的脈搏 都難掌握
Listening to myself breathing like the waves roaring..
the weaker the roar, the worrier I get.
What else can I cherish.. if I cannot even control my pulse.

如果我變成回憶 退出了這場生命
留下你錯愕哭泣 我冰冷身體 擁抱不了你
想到我讓深愛的你 人海孤獨旅行
我會恨自己 如此狠心
If I turn into a memory and retreat from this life
Leaving you stunned and crying against my icy body that cannot embrace you.
Knowing that I'd let my beloved you being alone.
I will hate myself, for being so cruel.

如果我變成回憶 終於沒那麼幸運
沒機會白著頭髮 蹣跚牽著你 看晚霞落盡
漫長時光總有一天你會傷心痊癒
若有人可以 讓他陪你 我不怪你
If I'm finally unlucky enough, to become a memory,
to be without an opportunity to turn old, limp and watch the sunset together with you..
There will be one day that you would recover from the pain,
so if there is someone, let him be with you because I won't condemn you.

快樂 什麼時候會結束呢 哪一刻是最後一刻
想把你緊緊抱著 可知你是我生命中的 最捨不得
Happiness, when will it end? Which moment is the last moment?
I want to tightly hold you; the one I don't want to give up the most in life.

如果我變成回憶 最怕我太不爭氣
頑固地賴在空氣 霸佔你心裡 每一寸縫隙
連累依然愛我的你痛苦承受失去
這樣不公平 請你盡力 把我忘記
If I become a memory, I'm afraid I'd be weak,
stubbornly depending on air, wringing on and slitting every inch of your heart
rendering your love for me to result in pain.
Such unfairness... I beg that you use all of your effort, to forget me.

I had problems with the last verse..
Hopefully that will do (please do tell me if you have even better translations for it).

Michael Jackson's Privacy

Michael Jackson:

Ain't the pictures enough,
why do ya go through so much
to get the stories you need..
so you can bury me

You got the people confused
you tell the stories you choose
You try to get me to lose
the man~ I really am

You keep on stalking me...
invading my privacy
Won't you just let me be..

Coz your cameras can't control
the mind of those who know~ that you'll even sell your soul just to get a story sold

I need my privacy (oh no)
I need my privacy
So paparazzi (oh now)
Get away from me~ just get away from me

Some of you still wonder why,
one of my friends had to die
To get that message across,
that yet you haven't heard

My friend was chased and confused
like many others I knew
But on that cold winter night
my pride was snatched away

She get no second chance;
she, ridiculed and harrassed...
please tell me why (oh no)
Now that's a lesson to learn
Respect's not given it's earned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

I need my privacy (oh no)
I need my privacy (oh no)
So paparazzi (merci~)
Just get away from me.. just get away from me~ SLASH!

Now that's a lesson to learn;
stories are twisted and turned
Stop maliciously attacking my integrity

I need my privacy (oh no, oh no now)
I need my privacy (oh no, oh no)
So paparazzi (oh my~ )
Just get away from me.. (oh no oh my)

(please don't do it)
(get away from me)
(i got you stalking, walking, talking, stalking)
(gotta be me, gotta be me)
(my privacy)

(get away from me)
(why you do it)
(please don't do it)
(why you did it)

Painted Skin

畫心 (Painted Heart/Painting of Heart)
Themesong for the movie 畫皮 - Painted Skin (2008)
by Jane Zhang (张靓颖)

作曲：藤原育郎 (Fujiwara Ikuro)
作词：陈少琪 (Chen Shaoqi)

看不穿 是你失落的魂魄
猜不透 是你瞳孔的顏色
一陣風 一場夢 愛如生命般莫測 (爱是生命的莫测)
你的心 到底被什麼蠱惑
Unable to see, because your spirit is lost
Unable to understand, the color of your pupils
A sudden wind, a little dream, love is like life, unmeasurable (love is the measure of life)
What has misled your heart?

你的輪廓在黑夜之中淹沒
看桃花 開出怎樣的結果
看著你抱著我 目光似月色寂寞 (目光比月色寂寞)
就讓你 在別人懷裏快樂
Your appearance* disappears into the darkness
The cherry blossoms, how would they bloom?
Watching you embracing me with eyes as lonely as the moonlight (with eyes lonelier than the moonlight)
Thus decided, to let you obtain happiness from another's embrace

愛著你 像心跳難觸摸
畫著你 畫不出你的骨骼
記著你的臉色 是我等你的執著
你是我 一首唱不完的歌 (我的心 只願為你而割捨)
Loving you is as unpredictable as a heartbeat
Sketching you, unable to sketch your structure*
Remembering your expressions, is my stubbornness to wait for you
You are my, one song I will never finish (My heart is only willing to be removed because of you)

*It's supposed to be outline/skeleton, but I think appearance/structure would be a better word.

Time for revival :D

Here's a simple song.

也許有一天
Covered by both JS and PowerStation.
(I give preference to JS though. Hehe!)

也許有一天　我會愛上你
也許有一天　我們在一起
也許有一天　等一個也許
也許有一天　我們都忘記
Maybe one day, I will fall for you
Maybe one day, we'll be together
Maybe one day, waiting for a maybe
Maybe one day, we'll both forget

如果一切都會過去　不如留點回憶
當我看著你的眼睛　我等的是奇蹟
If everything will pass, why not leave some memories?
When I look into your eyes, I'm waiting for miracles

也許有一天　你會想起我
也許有一天　我們都忘記
Maybe one day, you'll think about me
Maybe one day, we'll both forget

就算一切都會過去　還是應該相信
當你睜開你的眼睛　看一看我的心
Even if everything will pass, we should still believe
When you open your eyes, to look at my heart

This is one of the insert songs in the Taiwan series The Rose.
It's a good one. Check it out aight? (:

Wishing

sung by leo ku & gigi leung

我喜欢回味 记忆的美 让人懂得感谢
你现在让谁 听你喜悦 陪你掉眼泪
i like reminiscing. the beautiful memory.. lets people know to be grateful
to whom do you allow.. to listen to your happiness, to be with you when you cry?

嘿 好久不见 请你许个愿
hey.. it's been a while. why don't you make a wish?

要感情不再那么容易变
让心不被距离拉得太遥远
a wish that ensures the feelings won't change that easily again,
that our hearts won't be distanced too far

我寄了张卡片 地址是感觉 收件人叫永远
像是你有递来一杯热咖啡 生活有了你的温柔调味
我寄了张卡片 画你的笑脸 写祝福的留言
请把我的名字默念一百遍 好梦就会趁你睡醒实现
i mailed a card. the address was.. feelings, and the recipient is forever.
as though you brought some hot coffee.. life was spiced up by your gentleness
i mailed a card. i drew your smiling face, and left my blessings
please call out to my name silently a hundred times, and the good dreams will come true as soon as you wake up

我习惯感觉 记忆的美 让温柔不变
你现在让谁 吻你的脸 疼你的一切
i'm used to the feelings. the beautiful memories, ensures that the gentleness remains
to whom do you allow.. to kiss your face, and to love your all?

edited version

i'm still yours

[我还是你的]

你生日的第一秒钟
用简讯祝福你快乐
把手机和胸口靠着
等你回头说什么
等到天沉默的亮了
the minute it was your birthday
i sent a sms wishing for your happiness
i clung on to my mobile
waiting for your reply
until the next day silently arrived

相爱太久 感觉也变朦胧
你离开找什么 让自己再感动
it's been so long that we've been in love; some feelings faded
after you left, i couldn't find anything else that could have moved me

我的呵护还是你的 坚持抱紧你的软弱
让你像个孩子娇纵 闹情绪发脾气然后泪流
我的温暖还是你的 回来像你没有走过
别怕伸手我不紧握 深爱是伤裂了还能温柔
the care i have is still for you, insisting to hold on to your weaknesses
to love you like a child even though you throw tantrums, get angry and cry
my warmth is still yours, that has never changed
so don't be afraid that i wouldn't hold you if you reach out to me
because even though our love is scarred, it's still gentle

不能问你心情起落
匿名看你每篇部落格
不想让爱给你负荷
连关怀也远远的
我甘心眼睛却红了
being not able to ask about your feelings
i read every page of your blog anonymously
i didn't want my love to give you any burden
therefore the care i had for you was hidden
i acknowledged that, yet i was in pain

可能失去也不能阻止我
把生命的重心摆在为你守候
maybe even losing you cannot stop me
from putting the fact that i'll always be there for you as the most important task of my life

song by: 古巨基

再一次拥有

我想念去年的冬天
下着雪的那一夜
你给的温柔紧握的双手
温暖整个寒冬
i thought of the winter last year
the night when it was snowing
the gentleness you gave me as you held my hands tightly
it warmed up the cold winter

失去了曾经的拥有
在你离开以后
带走了笑容只留下寂寞
忘了幸福是什么
i lost what i once had
after you left,
my smile left too, leaving only sorrow behind and
forgetting what's happiness

没有你的夜特别的漆黑
只能闭上双眼去感觉
没有我的夜谁在你身边
代替了那个从前
the nights without you are particularly darker
i can only close my eyes to feel
without me, who is by your side,
substituting the past?

能不能再听一次你说爱我
回到还在你怀里的时候
能不能让我再一次拥有
曾属于我的温柔
can i once again hear you say you love me
and return to when i was still in your arms
can you let me experience again
the gentleness that once belonged to me

song by: 龚诗嘉

everlasting freedom

[自由不变]

不变 不动 不转 的世界
刹那瞬息片刻永远
用全心记住你的脸
来来回回千万遍
突然领悟你是如何爱我
the everlasting, stagnant, unchanging world
that moment, the moment of forever
using the whole of my heart to remember the way you looked
over and over for a thousand times
and suddenly realized the way you loved me

(我) 一直习惯 简单的 随心的 放任的 自由
不喜欢冻结的酒 不愠 不火
日复一日 无聊的生活
沉没的 了解的 是你的温柔
不管我错了 对了
因为你说那就是我
i've always been used to the simple, carefree, individualistic freedom,
disliking the cold beer that's neither warm nor passionate,
the day after day, boring life
buried deep inside my heart, what i understand, is your gentleness
because you said, no matter i was right or wrong,
it's me.
