please tranlate "always beside you"

[trungyy]

Can someone pease translate "always beside you" in chinese for my tattoo? It is said to my brothers and frends. 永远在你身边. Would that line be okay?

[muyongshi]

Well the translation is fine but there is probably something a lot better/shorter that will convey the same meaning in a more poetic sense....

[fireball9261]

I feel telling your brothers and male friends 永远在你身边 sounded a little weird. I think it is generally said to your girl friend or boy friend. Therefore, if you say it to someone who is not your girl friend or boy friend, the person might think you are proposing to him or her.

[trungyy]

what about 總是在你旁邊 or 总是在你旁边 ? If not can some just post a translation

[skylee]

Consider -

常伴(or 在)你身邊 OR

常伴(or 在)你左右 OR

常伴身邊 OR

常伴左右 OR

永相隨

[trungyy]

damm im so lost at the moment, its a line dat has to mean he same thing in chinese. So is there a straight up answer?

[trungyy]

What about 一直都会在你身邊 ?

yeah, the answer is there are several ways that it can be written, pick one.

常伴左右 sounds fine if you say to your siblings. And 总在你身边 or that sort isn't something you say to them but lovers.

[fireball9261]

I think 永相隨 is cool. Simple and elegant. But it must be for your boy friend and girl friend.

[imron]

Is it just for your brothers and guy friends? Why not write something like 铁哥们儿 - "Iron Brothers"

[trungyy]

sooo theres no translation for "always beside you" without sounding lyk u luv him/her ?

[Lu]

Seems there is. (I took the liberty of correcting your English, hope you don't mind.)

So there's no translation for "always beside you" without sounding like you love him/her?

常伴左右 sounds fine if you say to your siblings.

[heifeng]

just get a 兄 on one shoulder and a 弟 on the other shoulder. That way they can always be by your side(s), and unless you get it lasered off they'll always be there!

兄弟= brother, but can also be similar to buddy or 哥门

[amormio]

陪你到永远

[muyongshi]

陪你到永远

Once again, only would say that to your lover....

[鱼香肉丝饼]

不离不弃 seems better

[Yiwan]

One may be your 铁哥们儿, but it doesn't mean he has to be always beside you. Know what I mean? And do you have to say 儿? Does any non-native really speak like a Beijing-ren?

[imron]

One may be your 铁哥们儿, but it doesn't mean he has to be always beside you

Not always beside you, but definitely always there for you.

Does any non-native really speak like a Beijing-ren?

At least one.

[Lu]

哥们儿 is just a northern expression, I don't think it can go without the 儿. That would just make it sound like a southerner making an attempt at using a northern expression and getting it wrong in the process.

I like heifeng's idea, it adds another dimension to the idea of Chinese character tattoo, and makes it a lot less pointless.
