Not blogging recently...
Too many things happening....
Personal stuff....
Overly personal....
Lol.
Sorry ar!
Anyway,
Dave asked for a translation of Mayday's 知足,
Cos his Chinese is not too good...
He wants to know why I love this song so much. =)
I did one....
I tried my best not to reshuffle the phrasing too much....
(Note: This is just a rough translation done by me in favour of a friend.
I DO NOT OWN THE LYRICS OF THE SONG.)
But somehow,
The English one that I did sounds super cheesy...
The feel of the song is also different...
Maybe cos my English is too powderful....
But here goes....:
(Rough translation)
Mayday: To be Contented
How do I own a rainbow?
How can I embrace all the breezes of the summer?
The stars above laugh at people on Earth
They don’t understand; can’t be contented.
If I fall in love with your smile
How do I collect it? How can I own it?
If you are happy but not because of me
Is truly owning you if I let you go?
When a wind comes and the kites fly up high
I pray for you, wish for you and feel touched .
But its when your silhouette disappears within the crowds
Then I realized, to cry with a smile is really painful
That day you and me, on that hill
To sing the songs of the year in our own way.
That kind of memories are enough for me
Enough for me to taste the loneliness I feel everyday.
When a wind comes and the kites fly up high
I pray for you, wish for you and feel touched .
But its when your silhouette disappears within the crowds
Then I realized, to cry with a smile is really painful
If I fall in love with your smile
How do I collect it? How can I own it?
If you are happy but not because of me
Is truly owning you if I let you go?
The true happiness of being contented is asking me to endure the pain

The original lyrics my Mayday
(They're good if you can understand!)
知足
怎么去拥有 一道彩虹
怎么去拥抱 一夏天的风
天上的星星 笑地上的人
总是不能懂 不能觉得足够
如果我爱上 你的笑容
要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
如果你快乐 不是为我
会不会放手 其实才是拥有
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头
才发现 笑着哭 最痛
那天你和我 那个山丘
那样的唱着 那一年的歌
那样的回忆 那么足够
足够我天天都品尝着寂寞
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头
才发现 笑着哭 最痛
如果我爱上你的笑容
要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
如果你快乐 不是为我
会不会放手 其实才是拥有
知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
