Hey I have this song called Yongyuan shi ge Mimi - Forever a Secret

Here are the lyrics:

[ti:永远是个秘密]

[ar:冷血动物]

我早已经忘记了第一次看见妈妈是什么感觉

早已经忘记了出生时的一切

来时的路上毫不犹豫的丢弃着无数个执着和纯洁

谎言就是我们之间的距离

从来就没有一天记得是在想象中那美丽的阳光下度过

可是我还在这里羞耻地呼吸

你不用不用不用告诉我明年春天我们去那里

什么地方都逃不出心里

噢活在这个圈套里

噢永远是个秘密......

噢逃不出心里

I can read most of the individual characters..something about forgetting how it felt the first time he saw his mother...not seeing the light of day, etc.

But I still dont understand what the song is actually about

Like...the subject he is trying to convey

Thanks a lot :)

An opportunity to compare and contrast babelfish.yahoo.com and translate.google.com .

Yahoo

I had forgotten early already first time sees mother is any feeling.

Had forgotten early already time birth all.

Comes when on road discarding innumerable without hesitation rigid and chaste.

The rumor is between us the distance.

Always does not have one day to remember that was under that beautiful sunlight passes in the imagination.

But I also in here ashamed breathe.

You will not need to need to tell me us to go to there next spring.

Any place cannot escape at heart.

Oh lives in this snare.

Oh forever is a secret ......

Oh cannot escape at heart.

Google

I have already forgotten the first time I saw my mother what is the feeling

As early as at birth have forgotten all

On the road when not hesitate to throw away the numerous dedicated and purity

Lies is the distance between us

I remember the day has never imagined that in the beautiful sunshine through

But here I am still ashamed to breathe

You do not need to tell me next spring, do not we go there

Where all escape hearts

Oh, where to live in this trap

Oh Forever is a secret ......

Oh escape hearts

Neither is perfect. As to what the song is actually about, hard to say when artistic license is involved!

I personally prefer Google because it takes grammar into account. (better than others) You just have to do some rearranging of words and you have a somewhat passable translation.

我早已经忘记了第一次看见妈妈是什么感觉

Forgotten are the feelings of love my mother brings upon sight.

早已经忘记了出生时的一切

Gone are the treasured memories of being born.

来时的路上毫不犹豫的丢弃着无数个执着和纯洁

On this road of life, we hardly hesitate to abandon the needs of a pure heart.

谎言就是我们之间的距离

The distance between us is built upon lies.

从来就没有一天记得是在想象中那美丽的阳光下度过

Never have I had the pleasure of imagining the beautiful rays of the sun.

可是我还在这里羞耻地呼吸

Yet, I shamefully breath the precious air around.

你不用不用不用告诉我明年春天我们去那里

You need not tell me where we are to go next Spring.

什么地方都逃不出心里

For I cannot escape the feelings deep within my heart.

噢活在这个圈套里

Oh! I'm forever trapped in the pitfall of life.

噢永远是个秘密......

Oh! Eternity is an unbreakable secret.

噢逃不出心里

Oh! I cannot escape this unbearable heart and mind.

Edit: Anyone feel free to correct me here or tell me if I'm going overboard! :mrgreen:
