indeed it is in cantonese, there are some phrases i dont' understand..now i do.. i seek the help of a chinese supplier to explain to me..Originally posted by KittynMeow:i saw the lyrics... seriously if i'm to translate it to a meaningful english poem, i think i'll do serious rewriting to it.... cos no matter how i read....the lyrics seems to be written in cantonese or something rather than mandarin.. some of the grammar sounds odd in mandarin...
) Thanks anyway both.. gotta admit the chinese phrases are quite cheem.
wow kitty.. what's grammar in chinese? -
wah... since you understand the phrases... can explain to me?? I've got problem deciphering the second para (the one after the chorus)... like that very hard to write lah...Originally posted by O'ren:indeed it is in cantonese, there are some phrases i dont' understand..now i do.. i seek the help of a chinese supplier to explain to me..)

What i meant was that some phrases, when put together, work for a Cantonese-speaking audience but may not work for a mandarin-speaking one... -
*sobs*
no matter how i try... only managed to get half of it written out.... *sobs*!! -
i think you meant this phrase :
Lou Tai you jia qi, han xiao dong xi sheng si yue guo lin you tian di etc...
according to an interpretation it means something like .. "the buildings rise again, i smile and watch the life and death, and beyond life, there's another world out there "
and Tao Wei hong guo dou bian ku zhi .. fyi.. "there's a beginning and an end to every life" -
how about "Wei du chun tian ke yi gei ji zhu"?? Referring that only seasons remain unchanged??Originally posted by O'ren:i think you meant this phrase :

and "Chang nian mei you xi, shi jian nuo tui bu fan jiu hua die qu you gu di"? -

and "Chang nian mei you xi, shi jian nuo tui bu fan jiu hua die qu you gu di"?
yep i think it means only the memories of summer remains..
"Chang nian mei you xi, shi jian nuo tui bu fan jiu hua die qu you gu di"?
this one, based on my own interpretation..
If there's no happiness in the future, and we can't go back in time, then allow me to become the butterfly who can fly back in time - i.e. if i die, maybe i can go back in time to the moment where we were together..
