hi ^_^

I'm new to this forum ^^;; I need help with the translation of this song. I was trying to explain the meaning of the words to a german friend of mind and all I did was just make it worse :oops:

I speak coloqial cantonese so I'm unfamiliar with the subtlies of Chinese prose and lyrical poems that are in most songs. That and I don't read chinese XD

It's Eason Chan's Seui yuet yu gor

Thank you so much ^_^

I can only tell you a bit of it since I don't recognize all TOO many words...but I'll give it a try! :D

The one on the left- I don't know that first, but I know it means something 'moon instead of songs' or something of the sort. Then the first two phrases "fell in love, saw you".

On the right - title means "I don't love you"

Ok lol that's all I can give, probably not too much help.

I had a go for you...but I'm sort of embarassed to post this as it's pretty bad... perhaps someone else could correct it and finish it?

I can't translate the title at all. And some lines. And I don't know Cantonese pinyin (sorry), though I would like to. I didn't know this song before, but I listened to it and I like it as well.

Here goes...

歲 月 如 歌

Suì Yuè Rú Gē

歌 手:陳 奕 迅 專 輯:Live For Today

gē shǒu: Chén Yì Xùn Zhuān jí: Live For Today

Singer: Eason Chan Yi Xun Album: Live For Today

愛 上 了 看 見 你 如 何 不 懂 謙卑

ài shàng le kàn jiàn nǐ rú hé bù dǒng qiān bēi

I love watching you, seeing you I can only be modest

去 講 心 中 理 想 不 會 俗 气

qù jiǎng xīn zhōng lǐ xiǎng bù huì sú qì

Talking about my dreams feels right

猶 如 看 得 見 晨 曦 才 能 歡 天喜 地

yóu rú kàn de jiàn chén xī cái néng huān tiān xǐ dì

Just like seeing the first rays of the morning sun can make you happy

抱 著 你 我 每 次 回 來 多 少 惊 喜

bào zhe nǐ wǒ měi cì huí lái duō shǎo jīng xǐ

I suddenly feel happy again every time I hold you

也 許 一 生 太 短 陪 著 你

yě xǔ yī shēng tài duǎn péi zhe nǐ

Perhaps this lifetime isn't long enough to be with you

情 感 有 若 行 李 仍 然 沉 重 待我 整 理

qíng gǎn yǒu ruò xíng lǐ réng rán chén zhòng dài wǒ zhěng lǐ

(Like my suitcase) my feelings are heavy and messed-up

*天 气 不 似 如 期 但 要 走 總 要 飛

tiān qì bù sì rú qī dàn yào zǒu zǒng yào fēi

The weather's not right but I want to walk, I want to fly

道 別 不 可 再 等 你 不 管 有 沒 有机

dào bié bù kě zài děng nǐ bù guǎn yǒu méi yǒu jī

I'm leaving, can't wait any longer, it doesn't matter if ???

給 我 体 貼 入 微 但 你 手 如 明 日便 要 遠 离

gěi wǒ tǐ tiē rù wéi dàn nǐ shǒu rú míng rì biàn yào yuǎn lí

愿 你 可 以 留 下 共 我 曾 愉 快 的憶 記

yuàn nǐ kě yǐ liú xià gòng wǒ céng yú kuài de yì jì

I hope you can keep happy memories of us

當 世 事 再 沒 完 美 可 遠 在 歲 月如 歌 中 找 你*

dāng shì shì zài méi wán měi kě yuǎn zài suì yuè rú gē zhōng zhǎo nǐ

When things aren't perfect I'll find you in distant old melodies

再 見 了 背 向 你 回 頭 多 少 傷悲

zài jiàn le bèi xiàng nǐ huí tóu duō shǎo shāng bēi

When we've parted you can look back on all the pain

也 許 不 必 再 講 所 有 道 理

yě xǔ bú bì zài jiǎng suǒ yǒu dào lǐ

Perhaps there's no need to talk about all the reasons

何 時 放 松 我 自 己 才 能 花 天 酒地

hé shí fàng sōng wǒ zì jǐ cái néng huā tiān jiǔ dì

抱 著 你 我 說 過 如 何 一 起 高 飛

bào zhe nǐ wǒ shuō guò rú hé yī qǐ gāo fēi

Holding you I talked of soaring up high together

這 天 只 想 帶 走 還 是 你

zhè tiān zhī xiǎng dài zǒu hái shì nǐ

Now only you will be leaving

如 重 溫 往 日 郵 寄 但 會 否 疲 倦了 嬉 戲

rú chóng wēn wǎng rì yóu jì dàn huì fǒu pí juàn le xī xì

Looking at old letters is a tiring game

I won't be pursuing a career in translation!!!!!
