Chinese songs

(Originally posted on 26 July 2008 in: Hong Kong)

Ohyeah, at first we all went crazy by this song because we heard it EVERYWHERE. Mainly a very bad quality version; in shops, on the streets and as goddamn ringtones. But the trick with brainwashing is that after a while...your brain is washed. So we started to like it, and now, we all LOVE IT! J and I actually went looking for a CD with all those Chinse songs we heard so often and after a while sound actually pretty cool. This is a slow song. Sit back, relax, and let the guy's pain touch your heart, yeah man, he's in pain. I present to you:

You mei you ren gau su ni.

And here is a cool band I found out about through the owners of a really cool, small music store near our appartment in Shenyang. The band is called Sand, and here is one of their slower (and depressing) songs:

Over 'You mei you ren gau su ni' staat het volgende op youtube:
This song described a rootless wanderer led a vagabond life.For seeking a better life,he went to south of China where is no snow in winter. He's lonely but still thought about his beloved.So touched. My new work made by QQ emotion icons,enjoy it!


Lyrics: (in Hanyu Pinyin for all Chinese learners)

dang huoche kairu zhezuo mosheng de chengshi
nashi chonglai jiu meiyou jianguo de nihong
wo dakai libie shi ni song wo de xinjian
huran gandao wubi de si nian
kan bu jian xue de dongtian buye de chengshi
wo tingjian youren huanhu youren zai kuqi
zao xiguan chuansuo chongman youhuo de heiye
dan que wufa wangji ni de lian
you meiyou ren ceng gaosu ni wo hen ai ni
you meiyou ren ceng zai ni riji li kuqi
you meiyou ren ceng gaosu ni wo hen zaiyi
zaiyi zhezuo chengshi de juli (repeat)

you meiyou ren ceng gaosu ni wo hen ai ni
you meiyou ren ceng zai ni riji li kuqi
you meiyou ren ceng gaosu ni wo hen zaiyi
zaiyi zhezuo chengshi de juli
ou~

#The main idea of the lyrics in English:

Has Anybody Told You --- Chen Chu Sheng

When the train entered the strange city
Those were the neon lights I have never seen
I opened up the letter you gave me at our parting
Felt incomparable missing suddenly
No snow here in winter, sleepless city
I heard that some people are cheering,some are crying
Already used to shuttle the dark nights full of temptations
But unable to forget your face
Has anybody ever told you that I love you so much
Has anybody ever cried in your diary
Has anybody ever told you that I'm very concerned about
Concerned about the distance from the city(repeat)

Has anybody ever told you that I love you so much
Has anybody ever cried in your diary
Has anybody ever told you that I'm very concerned about
Concerned about the distance from the city
Oh
