Help with translation

[gozo2u]

I love Chinese music and just found my new favorite... I can understand some of it, but there is a lot I don't...

Anyone have time to help translate it? It would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Skylee! You're Awesome! I'm only in my first year of Chinese, but from what I can tell, it seems like a pretty literal translation... right?

My learning is mostly oral... and I just saw the difference between 直到 and 知道... I always confuse 直到, 知道 and 迟到...

Also, can 不論 be used by itself to answer a question?

ex. Which flight do you want? 不論 (it doesn't matter)

Which flight do you want?不論哪一航班都可以。

I think the translation is ok (if you have no problem understanding it then it is ok).

If you find some words confusing, it might mean that focusing on oral is not enough. I guess the best you can do is to learn to read and write, memorise more, etc.

Also, can 不論 be used by itself to answer a question?

No. To answer the question this way, consider 什麼（時間 / 航班）都可以 or just 無所謂.

Right now I really need to work on speaking and understanding... Later I would like to focus more on reading... I know some already just by living 2 years in Japan, and I often look at the text of songs, so pick up a lot of hanzi that way... Too bad tones aren't recognized in music, since all I listen to is Chinese music... I usually learn a word, and then have to look up the pinyin for the tones...
