Ah, old Chinese songs are the best. Well, 'old'. I'm not saying it's 'primitive' or some 'ancient' 1980s song. It is released a couple of years back, so I deem it as an 'old' song. A song from the past. Either way, it's a song of Jay Chou's, and I thought it was such a nice, nice, bittersweet song. And I thought, heck, let me do the translation one line after one. I thought it could be fun.

Here I go!

Those sparrows outside the windows,
Perched above the telephone lines, chatting boisterously,
You said this one line,
"This feels so much like a Summer."

The pencil in my hand,
Go up and down on the paper,
And I use a few lines to describe who you are to me.

The feeling of a cololobais saira,
Both the cat and you want to understand,
And the 'aroma' of first love is thus regained,
That warm sunlight,
Is just like freshly picked strawberries,
And you say you cannot bear to eat up this kind of feeling.

It rains the whole day,
And my love overflows just like the rain water,
The fallen leaves in the yard,
Represents how much I miss you, a thick, thick pile,
A few contradicting sentences,
Is unable to freeze my burning passion,
Your name appears in every page of my poem.

It rains the whole day,
And my love overflows just like the rain water,
The butterflies by the window edge,
Are just like the beautiful, soaring chapters in the poem,
And I went on to write,
"I'd love you for eternity" at the end of the poem,
Your "I understand" is the only thing that I long for.

It rains the whole day,
And my love overflows just like the rain water,
The fallen leaves in the yard,
Represents how much I miss you, a thick, thick pile,
A few contradicting sentences,
Is unable to freeze my burning passion,
Your name appears in every page of my poem.

That blooming maize field,
Has enjoyed through this entire season,
And your face is just like the field's tomato,
All of a sudden, you tell me,
"Orange Jasmine, this is a pretty name.",
Yet all that I could think of was to lust for those lips of yours.

It rains the whole day,
And my love overflows just like the rain water,
The fallen leaves in the yard,
Represents how much I miss you, a thick, thick pile,
A few contradicting sentences,
Is unable to freeze my burning passion,
Your name appears in every page of my poem.

For the whole night, my love overflows just like the rain water,
The butterflies by the window edge,
Are just like the beautiful, soaring chapters in the poem,
And I went on to write,
"I'd love you for eternity" at the end of the poem,
Your "I understand" is the only thing that I long for.

Ah blah, I could not find a word to describe some of the chinese words he used, and some of the sentences he sang did not make sense in direct translation. Haha. Guess my chinese needs brushing up on. But it's generally correct.

As expected, it was fun to crack my brain up.
