情歌Qing Ge (Love Song)

情歌 qíng gē


shí guāng shì hǔ pò
时光是琥珀
Time is amber

lèi yì dī dī bèi fǎn suǒ
泪一滴滴被反锁
Tears are locked drop by drop

qíng shū zài bù xiǔ yě mó chéng shā lòu
情书再不朽也磨成沙漏
Immortal love letter was ground into dust

qīng chūn de shàng yóu
青春的上游 
The upriver of youth

bái yún fēi zǒu cāng gǒu yǔ hǎi ōu
白云飞走苍狗与海鸥
White clouds fly… (becoming) white dogs and sea gulls
(Meaning: Time brings great changes to the world)

shǎn guò de niàn tou chán chán de liù zǒu
闪过的念头潺潺的溜走 
Flashing ideas murmured…flowing away


mìng yùn hǎo yōu mò
命运好幽默 
Fate is so humorous

ràng ài de rén dōu chén mò
让爱的人都沉默
(Fate) lets people in love keep silence

yì zhěng gè yǔ zhòu huàn yì kē hóng dòu
一整个宇宙 换一颗红豆
Pay the whole universe for a red bean

huí yì rú kùn shòu
回忆如困兽 
Memories are like caged beasts

jì mò tài jiǔ ér jiàn jiàn wēn róu
寂寞太久而渐渐温柔
Have been lonely for such a long time… gradually become soft

fàng kāi le quán tóu
放开了拳头 
Let go of the fist

fǎn ér gèng zì yóu
反而更自由
Even more freedom

màn dòng zuò qiǎn quǎn jiāo juān
慢动作缱绻胶卷 
Rolling the film with a slow motion

chóng bō mò piàn dìng gé yí shùn jiān
重播默片, 定格一瞬间
Repeat the silent film, and freeze at certain a moment

wǒ men zài gào bié de yǎn chàng huì
我们在告别的演唱会 
At the good-bye concert, …

shuō háo bú zài jiàn
说好不再见
We made a deal “Don’t say good-bye”


nǐ xiě gěi wǒ wǒ de dì yī shǒu gē
你写给我 我的第一首歌
The first song you composed for me…

nǐ hé wǒ shí zhǐ jǐn kòu mò xiě qián zòu
你和我十指紧扣默写前奏
You and me hand in hand (finger-crossed tightly) composing the prelude

kě shì nà rán hòu ne
可是那然後呢
However, what else?

hái hǎo wǒ yǒu wǒ zhè yì shǒu qíng gē
还好我有我这一首情歌
At least, I have my love song

qīng qīng de qīng qīng hēng zhe kū zhe xiào zhe
轻轻的轻轻哼着哭着笑着
Lightly humming, crying, laughing

wǒ de tiān cháng de jiǔ
我的天长地久
My foreverness

Repeat#

cháng jìng tóu yuè lā yuè yuǎn yuè lái yuè yuǎn
长镜头 越拉越远 越来越远 
Zooming out… zooming out…

shì gé hǎo jǐ nián
事隔好几年
After several years…

wǒ men zài huái niàn de yǎn chàng huì lǐ mào de wěn bié
我们在怀念的演唱会礼貌的吻别
At the memorial concert, we cheek kissed each other

Repeat*

péi wǒ chàng gē
陪我唱歌 
Sing with me

qīng chàng nǐ de qíng gē
清唱你的情歌
Sing your love song

shè bù dé duǎn duǎn fù gē
舍不得短短副歌
Reluctant to give up the short chorus (refrain)

xīn hái rè zhe
心还热着
My heart is still boiling

yě gāi gào yí duàn luò
也该告一段落
, but we should come to the conclusion.

hái hǎo wǒ yǒu wǒ xià yì shǒu qíng gē
还好我有我下一首情歌
At least, I have my next love song

shēng mìng wǎn rú jìng jìng de xiāng yōng de hé
生命宛如静静的相拥的河
Life is like a quite river…

yǒng yuǎn tiān cháng de jiǔ
永远天长地久
…lasting forever
