月亮代表我的心 (the moon represents my heart) - english translation

Composed by 翁清溪 Weng Ching-Hsi, lyrics by 孙仪 Sun Yi, arranged by 卢东尼 Tony Arevalo Jr, originally sung by 卢东尼 Chen Fenlan and released in her 1973 album 《梦乡》 (dreamland). This song's melody came first, composed by Weng Ching-Hsi on a park lawn while studying in Boston, to express homesickness/loneliness as a foreigner abroad. Initially, he disliked the composition and considered discarding it—Sun Yi found it in a pile of his other works that were meant to be thrown out, and insisted on writing lyrics to complete the song.

Teresa Teng's cover for her 1977 album 《島國之情歌第四集：香港之戀》 (Love Songs of Island, Vol. 4: Love in Hong Kong) helped to popularize this song across the Chinese-speaking world. Today it is considered one of the most beloved Chinese-language songs of all time.

In some Chinese-speaking countries this song is considered a queer anthem of sorts, because Leslie Cheung publicly dedicated his performance of it to his boyfriend.

Above I've embedded Chen Fenlan's original version and Teresa Teng's 1977 cover. Below are lyrics, and a few other covers I like, including Leslie Cheung's.

你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分 我的情也真 我的爱也真 月亮代表我的心

你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分 我的情不移 我的爱不变 月亮代表我的心

轻轻的一个吻 已经打动我的心 深深的一段情 叫我思念到如今

你问我爱你有多深 我爱你有几分 你去想一想 你去看一看 月亮代表我的心

You ask how deep my love is for you, How much do I love you? My affection is true, my love true, too The moon represents my heart

You ask how deep my love is for you, How much do I love you? My affection is steadfast, my love unchanging The moon represents my heart

Your soft, gentle kiss Has already stricken my heart This deep, close affection Has made me yearn for you ever since

You ask how deep my love is for you, How much do I love you? Go have a ponder, go have a look The moon represents my heart

Teresa Teng lors de sa première performance musicale en 1960 à l'âge de 7 ans.

[ravensbrush]

a piece i did for school recently, a transcription of a classic hokkien song into seal script (an archaic form of chinese script)

main text:

獨夜無伴守燈下　春風對面吹

十七八歲未出嫁　見著少年家

果然標致面肉白　誰家人子弟

想欲問伊驚歹勢　心內彈琵琶

transliteration (tâi-lô)

to̍k-iā bô phuānn siú-ting-ē; tshun-hong tuì-bīn tshue

tsa̍p-tshit-poeh huè buē tshut-kè; kìnn-tio̍h siàu-liân-ke

kó-jiân piau-tì bīn-bah-pe̍h; siâng ka-lâng tsú-tē

siūnn boeh mn̄g i kiann pháinn-sè; sim-lāi tuânn pî-pê

translation (by me):

a lonely night, companionless, under a dim lamp; a spring breeze blows the other way.

seventeen going on eighteen, and still unmarried; catching a glimpse of a suitor.

truly what a beauty, with a soft white face; from which family do they come from?

thinking of approaching, feeling shy; the strings of the heart are strumming.

Teresa Teng - Cinta Suci (lyrics) + Eng translate💖

Indonesian version of 何日君再来 (When You Will Return?)

Lit. "Pure Love"

Intro

Verse 1:

Bunga yang indah, tak sering mekar

This beautiful flower, never blooms

Begitu pula, cinta yang suci

So as it was, on the pure love

Susah dicari, susah terjadi

It's hard to find, it's hard to be happen

Itu semua kenangan lama

It's all old memories

Di saat itu kau di sisi

While you were by my side

Kau ucapkan janji,

You've said a promise,

"Sayangku, hanyalah engkau milikku"

"My love, only you belong to me"

Selama hayatku, takkan terulang lagi

All my life, will be not reiterate

(instrumental break)

Verse 2:

Malam pun tiba, mengganti siang

The night has come, redress the daytime

Begitu pula, kita berdua

So as it was, on both of us

Yang ada hanyalah, sekejap jumpa

All that was left is, a short meeting

Sekejap pula berpisah lagi

We will be apart again shortly

Sebelum itu kau di sisi

You were by my side before

Kau ucapkan janji

You've said a promise

"Hatiku hanyalah untukmu"

"My heart only belongs to you"

Selama hayatku, takkan terulang lagi...

All my life, will be not reiterate

(instrumental break)

(repeat the whole verse til the end)

Who could also be seen as someone Björk's career influenced in the long run? One Reddit thread mentioned Faye Wong and I sort of see that. Sure, her career is on a much larger scale than that of Björk – their cultural contexts also differ immensely –, yet Mrs. Wong shares her curiosity. I mean, how many pop stars can say they worked with Wong Kar Wai on one of his movies and contribute one of the best cover songs ever to that? Actually, she does do a lot of remodels with album Decadent Sound Of Faye topping them all. You see, she did her own version of the material by Teresa Teng who remains one of the masters of Asian pop. While Mrs. Wong approaches these songs with a lot of respect – one wishes Mrs. Teng would've lived to duet with her –, she does reimagine them completely.
