KTV小姐

I have to be honest in saying that I’ve never entirely taken 吳克群 very seriously. Perhaps it’s because he’s got a lot of songs and videos I’d classify as silly (see future post on 大舌頭), or it might just because he is so boyishly cute, despite the fact that we are exactly the same grand age of 28. However, his latest album, 為你寫詩, has really earned my respect (at least the ballads, which tend to be how I judge an artist). While the video for this song is seriously lacking (why’s he so dirty and wet?), I like the melody, not to mention the fact that the lyrics are easy for someone with at least low intermediate reading skills.

說 說你為什麼 為什麼要走
shuo   shuo ni wei shen me   wei shen me yao zou

說你為何要分手
shuo ni wei he yao fen shou

別拖 求你別軟弱 求你說出口
bie tuo   qiu ni bie ruan ruo   qiu ni shuo chu kou

分手的理由

但你卻 拖 拖 拖 拖到什麼時候
dan ni que  tuo  tuo  tuo   tuo dao shen me shi hou

如果要走卻又為何停留
ru guo yao zou que you wei he ting liu

請你別 拖 拖 拖 大聲的說出口
qing ni bie tuo  tuo  tuo  da sheng de shuo chu kou

請你要痛就痛給我個快活
qing ni yao tong jiu tong gei wo ge kuai huo

Chorus

如果說你要走 我不會留
ru guo shuo ni yao zou  wo bu hui liu

我不去管以後
wo bu qu guan yi hou

然後我們說清楚 一句話就夠
ran hou wo men shuo qing chu  yi ju hua jiu gou

如果說你要走 我不會留
ru guo shuo ni yao zou  wo bu hui liu

我不去管以後
wo bu qu guan yi hou

多麼痛 多麼的難過

別越愛越難過

Do Do Re Re Mi Mi Re Do     Do Do Re Mi Do

說 說你為什麼 為什麼要走

說你為何要分手

但你還 拖 拖 拖 拖到什麼時候

請你別 拖 拖 拖 大聲的說出口

請你要痛就痛給我個快活

(Repeat chorus)

然後連話都不說 繼續沉默
ran hou lian huo dou bu shuo   ji xu chen mo

連朋友都沒的作 為了什麼
lian peng you dou mei de zuo  wei le shen me

然後跟別人說你其實還是愛我
ran hou gen bie ren shuo ni qi shi hai shi ai wo

就算了吧 壞人我來作

(Repeat chorus)

In my opinion, 蘇打綠 (Sodagreen) is one of Taiwan’s best musical products. Their music is a far cry from the pop that dominates the airwaves and MTV, both in lyrics and instrumentation. They also have a secret weapon: lead singer 吳青峰 (Wu Qing Feng), whose voice is both smooth and unusual (and who, incidentally, was a classmate of a friend of mine - yet another reminder of what a small place Taiwan really is). If you are in a position to easily get your hands on Chinese music, I highly recommend last year’s album 無與倫比的美麗. You can find information on it here. My next CD purchase will probably be their new live album, out last month, which also contains a couple of new studio tracks.

This song is from Sodagreen’s 2006 album, 小宇宙, but it seems like it’s experiencing a bit of a revival recently. It’s actually a bit of a difficult song for me personally (a few of the lines are tongue twisters), but I’ll be proud if I can ever sing it well. One special note, though. Although 吳青峰 is indeed male, many of his songs, like this one, are far out of the range of most male singers. That’s why I’m putting this into both the male and female categories.

Oh! And be sure to check out Sodagreen’s official site (below). It’s got an awesome concept.

這是一首簡單的小情歌
zhe shi yi shou jian dan de xiao qing ge

唱著人們心腸的曲折

Sodagreen’s Official Site: http://www.sodagreen.com.tw/main/index.html

For people who come to Taiwan without knowing how to speak Chinese, going to KTV with Taiwanese friends can be slightly frustrating. The problem is that, while you can’t sing the Chinese songs, they tend to know not only all the Chinese songs, but the English songs, too! One way of compensating is to sing along with the only English words in Chinese songs, of which there are many. It’s probably annoying to the folks actually singing the songs, but it’s something I’ve seen nearly all non-Chinese speakers do at KTV, myself included. We have to compensate somehow. Besides, it’s much easier to start learning a song for real if you know for certain that you understand two or three words.

“Kiss Goodbye” was the first of this type for me. It came out the year I arrived in Taiwan, and was on MTV and the radio all the time, so I had plenty of opportunities to hum along after the initial “baby” and then belt out the “kiss goodbye” in the chorus. Now I can sing the entire song (aside from being tripped up by a character here and there), but it still holds a place in my heart as one of the first Chinese songs I ever “sang.”

*By the way, this song is categorized as medium because, although the chorus is simple, the vocabulary in the verses is not nearly basic enough for most beginners.

Baby不要再哭泣
Baby bu yao zai ku qi

這一幕多麼熟悉
zhe yi mu duo mo shu xi

緊握著你的手彼此
jin wo zhe ni de shou bi ci

都捨不得分離
dou she bu de fen li

每一次想開口
mei yi ci xiang kai kou

但不如保持安靜
dan bu ru bao chi an jing

給我一分鐘專心
gei wo yi fen zhong zhuan xin

好好欣賞你的美
hao hao xin shang ni de mei

幸福搭配悲傷
xing fu da pei bei shang

同時在我心交叉
tong shi zai wo xin jiao cha

挫折的眼淚
cuo zhe de yan lei

不能測試愛的重量
bu neng ce shi ai de zhong liang

付出的愛收不回
fu chu de ai shou bu hui

還欠你的我不能給
hai qian ni de wo bu neng gei

別把我心也帶走 去跟隨
bie ba wo xin ye dai zou   qu gen sui

(Chorus)

每一次和你分開
mei yi ci he ni fen kai

深深的被你打敗
shen shen de bei ni da bai

每一次放棄你的溫柔 痛苦 難以釋懷
mei yi ci fang qi ni de wen rou   tong ku nan yi shi huai

每一次和你分開
mei yi ci he ni fen kai

每一次Kiss You Goodbye
mei yi ci Kiss You Goodbye

愛情的滋味此刻我終於最明白
ai qing de zi wei ci ke wo zhong yu zui ming bai

幸福搭配悲傷
xing fu da pei bei shang

同時在我心交叉
tong shi zai wo xin jiao cha

挫折的眼淚
cuo zhe de yan lei

不能測試愛的重量
bu neng ce shi ai de zhong liang

付出的愛收不回
fu chu de ai shou bu hui

我才明白愛最真實的滋味

A busy life and a vacation have led to blog stagnation. In fact, last week was the first time I myself went to KTV in several months. For shame!

David Tao, possibly one of the most recognizable names in Mandarin pop music, is essentially the godfather of Taiwanese pop. Any time his name comes up in conversation with a Taiwanese friend, the response is usually something like: “You like 陶喆? He’s the original!” And they’re right - at 38, he is now an old pro, and yet his original songs (like this one, from his debut album) can still be heard frequently on the radio and drifting out of storefronts in Taipei. Amusingly, despite looking like something from the early 80’s, this video is from the late 90’s. A more modern version is available here, but I chose this one because of its camp and because the lyrics on screen are easier to read.

忘了是怎麼開始
wang le shi zen me kai shi

也許就是對你 有一種感覺

David Tao’s official site: http://www.davidtao.com/

This post has been sitting half-finished for nearly two months, since I returned from my vacation to the UK. Considering I’m about to take another 3-week vacation to visit family in the US, it’s probably time to get this song up. Things ought to be back to normal in May!

Wang Leehom is, with Jay Chou, one of the first singers I began to listen to when I arrived in Taiwan. It would have been impossible to miss him, with his face plastered on billboard advertisements, on commercials (one of my favorites being the 黃綠紅 commercials for McDonald’s, his name being a play on words with the yellow, green, and red dipping sauces for McNuggets), and in the video for his song “Kiss Goodbye,” which played nonstop on MTV that year.

In 2007, he released his latest album, 改變自己 - Change Me, which contains this title track. It has been on my iPod since the day after I heard it, and both the message and the energetic beat make great morning music. Plus, the video is, well, incredibly cute. Enjoy!

* Notes: (1) The term kuso in the song is borrowed from Japanese, and my own translation would be: so bad, it’s good. The Back Dorm Boys are a good example of this. And yes. I love those guys. (2) This song also contains Taiwanese pronunciation - the characters 龜毛, while pronounced gui mao in Mandarin, are pronounced ku mo in Taiwanese. Although Taiwanese folks seem to generally use the Mandarin pronunciation, this term (meaning high-maintainance or nitpicky) is said to have originated in Taiwanese. The history of the term is debatable.

Intro

很久沒 很久沒

Wang Leehom’s Official Site: http://www.wangleehom.com/

I’m completely swamped with events for VDAY, so this isn’t a lyrics post, but I couldn’t let a moment go by without sharing this absolutely genius video. If you like the video for Tong Hua (original post), you’ll love this video. I was hoping it would include the nosebleed, but the section beginning at 3:40-ish is just perfect. By the way, it’s got subtitles of the English translation of the lyrics.

Back from Chinese New Year’s vacation, and that means new music is coming soon. Wang Lee Hom is up next!

I’ve known about this song since I arrived in Taiwan, but haven’t heard it in a good while. I had forgotten it existed until I saw a reference to it on the web today and decided to track down the KTV video on YouTube. If you know anything about American pop music, you’ll probably recognize the music right away, but the Chinese lyrics are not a translation of Britney Spears’ English version. There are some references to flying and still loving someone, but that’s where the similarities end. Even the videos are drastically different. [See Spears' much more entertaining version here.]

One pleasant surprise about finding this video is recognizing my own progress in learning Chinese. When I first heard this song in 2005, I didn’t give the words a second thought. Today, I was pleased to learn that I could read and mentally translate all but a couple of characters at the pace of the song (I didn’t know what a 望遠鏡 was), which in my book qualifies this as an easy song. It’s also what I expect to be the first of many cover songs to be posted, since there are so many out there, and I so enjoy cross-language covers.

望遠鏡看不見你 你的心飛去哪裡
wang yuan jing kan bu jian ni ni de xin fei qu na li

無聲飛行 享受黑夜的靜謐
wu sheng fei xing xiang shou hei ye de jing mi

(Chorus)

別說對不起 別讓我傷了心才說 不是故意
bie shuo dui bu qi bie rang wo shang le xin cai shuo bu shi gu yi
我卻無法怪你
wo que wu fa guai ni

別說對不起 別讓我的愛情變成 廉價物品
bie shuo dui bu qi bie rang wo de ai qing bian cheng lian jia wu pin

我卻只能愛你
wo que zhi neng ai ni

閉上眼睛卻看見你
bi shang yan jing que kan jian ni

想你的好代替無力
xiang ni de hao dai ti wu li

我相信你 卻開始不信任自己
wo xiang xin ni que kai shi bu xin ren zi ji

別說對不起 別讓我灰了心才說不是故意
bie shuo dui bu qi bie rang wo hui le xin cai shuo bu shi gu yi

我卻無法怪你
wo que wu fa guai ni

別說對不起 別讓我的愛情變得 小心翼翼
bie shuo dui bu qi bie rang wo de ai qing bian de xiao xin yi yi

我卻只能愛你
qo que zhi neng ai ni

用行動來證明 你的決心
yong xing dong lai zheng ming ni de jue xin

不要說說而已

我想要的不只是SORRY
wo xiang yao de bu zhi shi SORRY

無聲飛行 享受黑夜的靜謐
wu sheng fei xing xiang shou hei ye de jing mi

S.H.E.’s Blog: http://www.wretch.cc/blog/she911

I got to know this song because it was featured in the commercials for Le Power, an energy drink that actually doesn’t taste very good. However, like most people in Taiwan, I really like Mayday, so I can forgive them for endorsing a product I don’t like. Moreover, this tune is quite catchy, and I love the lyrics. (My unskilled attempt at translating the second line: “You’re my angel, the angel that gives me so much happiness that I’ve learned to fly.” Beautiful.) I’ve never tried to sing this at KTV, strangely. This is partly because I’ve never sat down to look at the lyrics carefully (the song is too fast in some parts, so I’d stumble over the lyrics trying to read them quickly) and partly because the song sounds much better with a male voice. Still, now that I’ve spent the time putting it into pinyin, I might give it a go sometime.

你就是我的天使 保護著我的天使 從此我再沒有憂傷
ni jiu shi wo de tian shi bao hu zhe wo de tian shi cong ci wo zai mei you you shang

你就是我的天使 給我快樂的天使 甚至我學會了飛翔
ni jiu shi wo de tian shi gei wo kuai le de tian shi zhen zhi wo xue hui le fei xiang

飛過人間的無常 才懂愛才是寶藏
fei guo ren jian de wu chang cai dong ai cai shi bao zang

不管世界變得怎麼樣 只要有你就會是天堂
bu guan shi jie bian de zen me yang zhi yao you ni jiu hui shi tian tang

(Chorus)

像孩子依賴著肩膀 像眼淚依賴著臉龐
xiang hai zi yi lai zhe jian bang xiang yan lei yi lai zhe lian pang

你就像天使一樣 給我依賴 給我力量
ni jiu xiang tian shi yi yang gei wo yi lai gei wo li liang

像詩人依賴著月亮 像海豚依賴海洋
xiang shi ren yi lai zhe yue liang xiang hai tun yi lai hai yang

你是天使 你是天使
ni shi tian shi ni shi tian shi

你是我最初和最後的天堂
ni shi wo zui chu he zui hou de tian tang

你就是我的天使 保護著我的天使 從此我再沒有憂傷
ni jiu shi wo de tian shi bao hu zhe wo de tian shi cong ci wo zai mei you you shang

你就是我的天使 給我快樂的天使 甚至我學會了飛翔
ni jiu shi wo de tian shi gei wo kuai le de tian shi zhen zhi wo xue hui le fei xiang
飛過人間的無常 才懂愛才是寶藏
fei guo ren jian de wu chang cai dong ai cai shi bao zang

不管世界變得怎麼樣 只要有你就會是天堂
bu guan shi jie bian de zen me yang zhi yao you ni jiu hui shi tian tang

Mayday’s Official Site: http://www.imayday.com

This is another song that I learned entirely via KTV. In fact, I don’t even own the MP3! The song is very slow, and the lyrics are pretty manageable with a low reading level. It’s a favorite among women at KTV, and pop culture enthusiasts will be interested to know that the song was written by Jay Chou. (One friend thinks this is why it’s the only Jolin song she actually likes.) Enjoy!

我受夠了等待 你所謂的安排
wo shou gou le deng dai ni suo wei de an pai

說的未來到底多久才來
shuo de wei lai dao di duo jiu cai lai

總是要來不及 才知道我可愛
zong shi yao lai bu ji cai zhi dao wo ke ai

我想依賴而你卻都不在
wo xiang yi lai er ni que dou bu zai

應該開心的地帶 你給的全是空白
ying gai kai xin de di dai ni gei de quan shi kong bai

一個人假日發呆 找不到人陪我看海
yi ge ren jia ri fa dai zhao bu dao ren pei wo kan hai

我在幸福的門外 卻一直都進不來
wo zai xing fu de men wai que yi zhi dou jin bu lai

你累積給的傷害 我是真的很難釋懷
ni lei ji gei de shang hao wo shi zhen de hen nan shi huai
(Chorus)

終於看開 愛回不來 而你總是太晚明白
zhong yu kan kai ai hui bu lai er ni zong shi tai wan ming bai

最後才把話說開 哭著求我留下來
zui hou cai bai hua shuo kai ku zhe qiu wo liu xia lai 終於看開 愛回不來 我們面前太多阻礙
zhong yu kan kai ai hui bu lai wo men mian qian tai duo zu ai

你的手卻放不開 寧願沒出息 求我別離開
ni de shou que fang bu kai ning yuan mei chu xi qiu wo bie li kai

你總是要我乖 慢慢計畫將來
ni zong shi yao wo guao man man ji hua jiang lai

我的眼淚卻一直掉下來
wo de yan lei que yi zhi diao xia lai

過去怎麼交代 你該給的信賴
guo qu zen me jiao dai ni gai gei de xin lai

被你親手緩緩推入懸崖
bei ni qin shou huan huan tui ru xuan ya

從我臉上的蒼白 看到記憶慢下來
cong wo lian shang de cang bai kan dao ji yi man xia lao

過去甜蜜在倒帶 只是感覺已經不在
guo qu tian mi zai dao dai zhi shi gan jue yi jing bu zai

而我對你的期待 被你一次次摔壞
er wo dui ni de qi dai bei ni yi ci ci shuai huai

已經碎成太多塊 要怎麼拼湊跟重來
yi jing sui cheng tai duo kuai yao zen me pin cou gen chong lai

終於看開 愛回不來 而你總是太晚明白
