I apologize for not putting a mediafire link for you guys. Since mediafire is NOT cooperating with me, i will post it along with my next post~
Finally… not a love song *wipes sweat* or else you guys would assume that love songs make up most of the curriculum in the realm of chinese songs…
I am like that
Original Artists: Liu Li-Yang ft. TANK
Translations by michellechan2211
CHORUS:
我就是这样 天马行空的磁场
I am just like that, a powerful and unconstrained magnetic field
或许你还不习惯 我在等你变成拍档
Maybe you’re not used to it, but I’m waiting for you to be my partner
我就是这样 注定和你不一样
I am just like that, destined to be different from you
谢谢你欣不欣赏 我的风格是鲜亮
I thank you, no matter if you admire me or not, my style is fresh and new…
摊开的手掌 柔软又刚强
Open palms, gentle yet strong
(十指纤长 指尖藏着一鼓力量)
( All 10 fingers are outstretched, and at the tips is a strength)
安静的目光 温柔却也狂放
Those quiet gazes, gentle, yet wild
(眼神明亮 有好多话想对你讲)
( the gaze is shining… I have so much to tell you…)
我独特的模样 是全新的信仰
My unique way is a whole new religion
CHORUS REPEAT
rap(TANK):
你不会躲在 不长不短的裙摆
You won’t hide under the mid-length skirts
耍无赖太依赖 都不符合你的心态
Playing the independent or dependent girl doesn’t go with your attitude
乖乖早过了时代 怪怪才有人青睐
Obediently playing over the years,
不需要表态 让大家慢慢猜
Don’t need to show it, let everyone take their time guessing
既古代又现代 爱hip hop也爱李白
Although you’re ancient, you’re also modern, loving hip hop and Li Bai [famous ancient poet]
是女孩像男孩 这次出场注定精彩
You’re a girl, but you’re like a boy, when you come out its going to be exciting
我嗅到英雄神采 我瞄到美人姿态
I smelt the hero’s aura, I saw the beauties’ figure
多变的节拍 接下来该是你拽
Many, ever-changing acts… its your turn to perform
诗人的滥觞 刻板的印象
The poet’s inspiration, the constant impression
(没有文字 足以介绍你的出场)
( There are no words to express your appearance)
你爱晒太阳 我赏我的月亮
You love basking in the sun, and I admire my moon
(井水河水 各自徜徉各的海洋 )
( Both the water in the well and the water in the river have their own sea)
想发出一道光 让世间不平凡
I want to radiate a stream of light, and make the world an extraordinary place
温柔 倔强 勇敢 都是我 我拥有太多 不同基因
Gentle, Strong, Brave… Its all me… I have to many facets
安静 吵闹 沉默 都是我
Quiet, Noisy, silent… its all me
分钟 不同的颜色
[Different] Minutes…. Different colours
Notes on this song: Jade Liu’s [Liu Li-Yang] first single from her album, of the same title as this song. Her album has been praised by critics for her sonorous voice on this hard-to-sing songs. This song is the first non-love song I have posted, about individuality and personal strength, which is also a favoured topic among chinese singers and song-writers. She has sung this song with Tank, her mentor.
