You want me to explain the Jay Chou song?
Yes please.
My Chinese isn’t even that good. I can’t translate the lyrics line by line…
Doesn’t matter. I want to know your understanding of it. Why?! Since the early 2000s, to even today, 2025, ur still loving this song so much?!?!?!
Hmmmm… it’s a classic. I don’t think I will ever get sick of it…
WHY?!?!?!! 🤯
Mmmm… it’s a Taiwanese thing? 😅
I don’t really get it…
Because the English translations are all crap!!! They don’t capture the real feelings of the song at all!!! 🤭
So what is the real feelings of the song?
Why do you care?!
Because, clearly the song is important to you… I really wanna try to understand this song…
Mmmm… fine… but I’m not 100% on everything, like every word he’s singing in the lyrics as well…
That’s okay. What your understanding of the song?
Mmm… first of all. The drums are really good…
They are?
Yes, I really like the drums with the violins, it slaps!
Hmmm… 🫠
Lol… 🤭
Well the song starts off like…
I only just left for not too long, and then I started wondering how you’ve been today…
My whole thoughts are consumed with you, thinking about you, I can’t fall asleep…
Thinking about when you were really cute, and I even still have your lovely smell on me…
My happiness is when you’re living your happiness and fortune… (?! I think?! I’ve assumed this part! My Chinese is not 100% here!)
Without you around, I just can’t bear it…
Without you annoying me, it causes me even more worries… (and it’s quite poetic, the actual Chinese words chosen for this line. There’s like a Chinese alliteration with it…)
(Then the next part, I don’t fully understand but it’s like he’s living through a storm or something?! I could be wrong!)
(Something about love…)
I just can’t say it… letting you know…
I would be the loyal guy that you need/deserve…(?!?!)…
How important you are to me
How much I would
Quitely let you “act cute” and watch you sleeping till we’re growing old together…
My heart is in knots, I can only watch you from far away…
All these things I could do but if I say it then I’m not myself anymore…
…
I think that’s the main jist of it?!
(Slowly… trying to grasp the song…)
(Listening again…)
…
…
…
I feel like my translation is not that great as well… 😅
It’s okay… at least, this is how you listen to this song…?
Yes. This is the story in my mind when I listen to the song…
