Make Learning Chinese Interesting...

for those who wants to listern to the songs and see the MV

here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBBKpwpCJD8

I have downloaded this song.
I know the Chinese, your English translation is quite good~!

ZOE

thanks
but If there is any mistake , you are most welcome to make corrections or suggestions.

The biggest problem is no tone.
PinYin must include that, otherwise, I don't think they can understand~!
some words pinyin are wrong, as follow:
1.着----zhe
2.是----shi
3.坏----huai

Thanks

Thanks for a pingyin song :)

I'll try to learn it and then impress some one ;)

can you also translate another one ? there is a song i really like ..

-Anu.

well U can post the name of the songs here and I try when I am free Anu.

The idea is to listern to the songs from the links provided ( ie. listern, see and speak) .

4.候----hou

Anu, You like your cell phone song "Si Le Dou Yao Ai"???

Hehe...

ZOE

Haa ha ha .. Zoe .. last time i tried to sing that song for my friend .. i scared them away ... this time i will learn something simple .. :) i will try to write the name of the soong in pingyin dong_bei. :)

-Anu.

-Anu.

Myabe zoe can help you to write the name in chinese , she seems to be familiar with the songs u like ?

Than I have to look for the lyrics...
will definitely do it when i am free...
would be better if u can provide the singer's name.

1.Dang ni wei ta daishang xing fu de tou gai
当 你 为 她 戴上 幸福 的 头盖
But will still plan a beautiful future for you.

my opinion: When you draw the head cover of wedding dress for her

2.Qi dai yi que chong lai
期 待 一切 重 来
Anticiapating a repeat

my opinion: Hopeing that everything could re start

3.Also, the word 遗憾 doesn't sound so well translated as REGRET. What do you think about SORRINESS?

Thanks Nuvaita for ur comments

I like that part ...Hoping that everyting could re-start

I think that is better,,,

Some of them I didnt do a direct translation of the word
as I try to get the meaning of the songs

Hey..no problem.
The meaning of the songs, yes, I'm curious..what do you understand on this whole song? :) Just want to know if my understanding is like yours or other people if possible,,, ;)
Nuova vita

Is is a song about lovers breaking up.
there is link to youtoube that has the songs MV you can click on it and listern.

It is a sad song.. but usually sad songs are sung with emotions!@@

Well Anu , What is the name of the song you want me to put in the pinyin for u?

I try to do it before I fly off ?

I assume there should be an automatic Chinese -> pinyin convertor online somewhere...

googled and ot it in 1 minute... :-)

Hi Cain

Thanks for the links. By any chance know a good chinese to enlish translation site...not those that translate word for word but the whole sentences with the write meaning ?

Hi cain,

Thanks for the link .. its cool .. i am surfing the Chinese sites .. copying and pasting .. its a good tool to memorize chinese characters... if i come across any similar software ill let you know :)

-Anu.

Hi Anu

so you can do it on the website for your songs in pinyin.

When U are surfing and u can find a page that can translate the meaning of each sentences can you post it on here as well. ( I know there is some chinese english translation sites but they do it word by word.. so the meaning is not there).

I can check the PinYin.

How about "Shi Nian" （十年）, do you know the song?

ZZ

Ok I have done the Pinyin Zoe, maybe u can try the english translation hehe?

Shi Nian (10 years)
Ru guo na liang ge zi mei you chan dou
如 果 那 两 个 字 没 有 颤 抖

Wo bu hui fa xian wo nan shou
我 不 会 发 现 我 难 受

Ze me shuo chu kou ye bu guo shi fen shou
怎 么 说 出 口 也 不过 是 分手

Ru guo dui yu ming tian mei you yao qiu
如 果 对 于 明 天 没 有 要求
Qian qian shou jiu xiang lu you
牵 牵 手 就 旅 游

Cheng qian shang wan ge men kou zong you yi ge ren yao xian zou
成 千 上 万 个 门口 总 有 一个 人 要 先走

Huai bao ji ran bu neng dou liu
怀 抱 既然 不能 逗留
He bu zai li kai de shi hou
何 不 在 离开 的 时候

Yi bian xiang shou yi bian lei liu
一 边 享 受 一边 泪流

Shi nian zhi qian
十 年 之 前
Wo bu ren shi ni ni bu shu yu wo
我 不 认 识 你 你 不 属 于 我
Wo men hai shi yi yang pei zai yi ge mo sheng ren zuo you
我 们 还 是 一样 陪 在一个 陌生 人左右
Zuo guo jian jian shu xi de jie tou
走 过 渐渐 熟悉 的街头

Shi nian zi hou
十 年 之 后
Wo men shi peng you hai ke yi wen hou
我 们 是 朋 友 还 可以 问 候
Zhi shi nan zhong wen rou zai ye zhao bu dao yong bao de li you
只 是 那 种 温 柔 再 也 找 不到 拥抱 的 理由
Qing ren zui hou nan mian lun wei peng you
情 人 最后 难 免 沦 为 朋友
zhi dao he ni zuo le duo nian peng you
直 到 和 你 做 了 多 年 朋友
Cai ming bai wo de yan lei
才 明 白 我 的 眼 泪
Bu shi wei ni er liu ye wei bie ren er liu
不 是 为 你 而流 也 为 别 人 而流

Zz Is this song anu was looking for ?
or is this one for you?

Dont think I have time this week to do the english translation as trying to clear most of my things first before i fly to zhuhai.

I used the links for translation to pinyin , it is useful but I try not to use it too often as my intention is to re learn chinese again.

Hehe...I just want to recommend this nice song.

Have a nice trip~!

ZZ

There're lots of chinese songs which r pretty touching

Shall I install soem audio files so people can upload their favourite songs?
JJ
