Alright, so I went to K-Box today with my university pals. Hard to go out with 'em these days due to the crazy workload us students have to bear. Anyway, I had a whale of time despite the relatively poor start...due to slight sore throat. Well, I think I sang about...10 songs? Both Chinese and English ones. One of them was 'One Night in Beijing' (Shin version)...and I decided to do a half-assed translation of the song into...English!! Enjoy.
One night in Beijing
One night in Beijing
我留下许多情
I left behind lots of love
不管你爱与不爱
Doesn't matter whether you love or not
都是历史的尘埃
'Cos you will be history anyway
One night in Beijing
One night in Beijing
我留下许多情
I left behind lots of love
不敢在午夜问路
I do not dare to ask for directions at night
怕走到了百花深处
'Cos I am afraid of getting drowned by the flowers
人说百花地深处
According to people, in the abyss of flowers
住着老情人缝着绣花鞋
There live an old lover who mends embroidered shoes
面容安详的老人
An amiable old woman
依旧等待着出征的龟人
Who is waiting for her Ninja turtle that had gone to war
One night in Beijing
One night in Beijing
你可别喝太多酒
No more Chivas Regal for you, my dude
走在地安门外
When one loiters near the gates of Di-an
没有人不动真情
None will not be moved
One night in Beijing
One night in Beijing
我留下许多情
I left behind lots of love
把酒高歌的男儿
The guys who drown in song and wine
是北方的懒猪
Are the lazy pigs from the north
人说北方的懒猪
People says those pigs from the north
会在寒风起站在城门外
Will sedia outside the gates, bearing the frigid winds
穿着腐锈的铁衣
Donned in rusty armor
呼唤城门外眼中含着泪
Howling outwards in the gates, with tears welling up
Woahhh~~~
我已等待了千年
I have waited for a millenium
为何城门还不开?
Why are the castle gates still shut?
Wahhh~~~
我已等待了千年
I have waited for a millenium
为何良人还不回来?
Why is my Mr. Good still not back yet?
One night in Beijing
One night in Beijing
我留下许多情
I left behind lots of love
不敢在午夜问路
I do not dare to ask for directions at night
怕触动了伤心的魂
'Cos I fear I would scar a few sad souls
One night in Beijing
One night in Beijing
我留下许多情
I left behind lots of love
不敢在午夜问路
I do not dare to ask for directions at night
怕走到了地安门
Don't wanna get lost near the gates of Di-an
不想再问你
Got sick of asking you
你到底在何方?
Where the hell have you been to?
不想再思量
Got sick of thinking about
你到底回来么?
Whether you'll be back for EPL finale
想着你的心
Thinking about your heart
想着你的脸
As well as your face
想捧在胸口
Wanna imprison you in my memories
能不放就不放
For as long as I can
*Disclaimer: This 'translation' is purely for entertainment purposes only...for a good laugh yeah. =p
I did change some parts of the song to increase the 'fun' factor. Got the idea after I reached home.
