HeDiWen何迪文 Posted September 7, 2008 at 04:05 AM Report Posted September 7, 2008 at 04:05 AM I was wondering if anyone has or knows where I can find the english translated lyrics of Tracy's version of Lemon Tree. I really like this song and want to learn it. Thanks in advance. Quote
skylee Posted September 7, 2008 at 08:41 AM Report Posted September 7, 2008 at 08:41 AM Send a pm to studentyoung and perhaps she would translate it for you. Quote
mandarina Posted September 7, 2008 at 09:48 AM Report Posted September 7, 2008 at 09:48 AM I guess you were looking for this: http://www.inkui.com/a3/B/5/B517BD97CA5C02F6E2C0.html It is pretty funny that words like lemon tree and isolation are not translated, maybe they were trying to teach some english words to their crowd.

HashiriKata Posted September 7, 2008 at 05:02 PM Report Posted September 7, 2008 at 05:02 PM I'm sitting here in the boring roomIt's just another rainy Sunday afternoon I'm wasting my time I got nothing to do I'm hanging around I'm waiting for you But nothing ever happens... Good song, good lyrics! (and the "Sunday afternoon" bit is very appropriate, too, for where I am ) Quote
HeDiWen何迪文 Posted September 7, 2008 at 11:51 PM Author Report Posted September 7, 2008 at 11:51 PM 谢谢 I think Tarcy Su's version is different from the original english version. The lyrics at least. I translated a few parts and they don't really translate to the english lyrics. I could be wrong though. Quote

Lyrics: 一个人孤单单的下午 当风吹得每棵树都想跳舞 记得昨天你穿蓝色衣服 你说对爱太专注 容易孤独 这句话什么意思 我不清楚 我爱上了云 爱上你 多么希望像你 自由来去 原来星期天容易想念 反覆看部电影 一遍一遍 孤独的流著眼泪 回忆太美 爱多美丽 充满香气 只是在心里它总是酸溜溜地 我不懂我自己 越来越像 Lemon Tree 我一天一天更爱你 我不管不管不管爱会苦苦地 海蓝蓝的天气 我的爱是 Lemon Tree 我爱上了云 爱上你 多么希望像你 自由来去 原来星期天容易想念 反覆看部电影 一遍一遍 孤独的流著眼泪 回忆太美 Isolation 想住进你心里 Isolation 期待下雨的一棵 Lemon Tree 你总是望著 蓝蓝海面 说著流浪过的梦 容易实现 这句话什么意思 我不清楚 爱多美丽 充满香气 只是在心里它总是酸溜溜地 我不懂我自己 越来越像 Lemon Tree 我一天一天更爱你 我不管不管不管爱会苦苦地 海蓝蓝的天气 我的爱是 Lemon Tree (哦....不管不管) 我一天一天更爱你 我不管不管不管爱会苦苦地 海蓝蓝的天气 我的爱是 Lemon Tree It is very common for Chinese lyrics of an English song to have completely different meanings.

HashiriKata Posted September 8, 2008 at 07:11 AM Report Posted September 8, 2008 at 07:11 AM I think Tarcy Su's version is different from the original english version. The lyrics at least. I translated a few parts and they don't really translate to the english lyrics. I could be wrong though.You're right, and it's usually easier to impose a new lyrics on an old song than to translate the old lyrics because there are constraints in the rhythm & number of words/ syllables to consider.By the way, can someone please tell me what 流浪过的梦 in the lyrics mean: (说著)流浪过的梦 容易实现 (I can understand 流浪的梦 (without 过 in it)) Cheers, Quote
