Brave

Okay, another Chinese post. But I'm sharing a song...by Guang Liang, written by him lah. Sang firstly by Fish Leong and still remain one of my favorite songs.

To love mean to take risk.

终于做了这个决定
别人怎么说我不理
只要你也一样的肯定

我愿意天涯海角都随你去
我知道一切不容易
我的心一直温习说服自己
最怕你忽然说要放弃

爱真的需要勇气
来面对流言蜚语
只要你一个眼神肯定
我的爱就有意义
我们都需要勇气
去相信会在一起
人潮拥挤我能感觉你
放在我手心里
你的真心

如果我的坚强任性
会不小心伤害了你
你能不能温柔提醒
我虽然心太急
更害怕错过你

Romanized:
zhong yu zuo le zhe ge jue ding
bie ren zhe me shuo wo bu li
zhi yao ni ye yi yang de ken ding

wo yuan yi tian ya hai jiao dou sui ni qu
wo zhi dao yi qie bu rong yi
wo de xin yi zhi wen xin shuo fu zi ji
que pa ni tu ran shuo yao fang qi

ai zhen de xu yao yong qi
lai mian dui lui yan fei yu
zhi yao ni yi ge yan shen ken ding
wo de ai jiu you yi yi
wo men dou xu yao yong qi
qu xiang xin hui zai yi qi
ren cao yong ji wo neng gan jue ni
fang zai wo shou xin li
ni de zhen xin

ru guo wo de jian qiang ren xing
hui bu xiao xin shang hai le ni
ni neng bu neng ti xing
wo sui ran xin tai ji
geng hai pa cuo guo ni

Translation (direct):
I finally made the decision
I don't care what others say
But you must be sure too

I'm willing to go anywhere with you
I know it's not going to be easy
I keep on consoling myself
I am just afraid that you suddenly want to quit

Love really needs courage
To face all kinds of rumors
As long as you are confident
My love would be meaningful
We all need to be brave
To believe that we will be together
Amidst the crowd I can still feel you
Your true self placed in my hand (something like that lah.)

If I am too stubborn
And it hurts you accidentally
Can you please gently remind me
Although I may be agitated
But I would be even more afraid to lose you

Yeah, basically the meaning is something like that. Then again, never never change Chinese to English, sounds so odd. Like the song 十面埋伏 (ten-faced-hiding...hahahahha!) sang by S.H.E is a Chinese idiom...the English could be ...House of Flying Daggers...hahaha...yeah, its the Zhang Zi Yi and Takeshi whatever-his-name-was...show by the same name in Chinese. And 183 Club's 感情线 (Line of Emotion/Affection) is translated as Affective Line..(what.) so...you can call it lost in translation ler.

Don't say 'Sarang' to Malay speakers though if you want to profess love to them...'cinta' is good enough. Korean may be love, but in Malay it means bird's nest. So...unless they know Korean lah. :)

Talking about 'Sarang'...this Malaysian Today, some local fun paper...really annoyed me. They did a coverage on 8TV's Summer Live Concert which I also did a 'coverage' ... and the one that irked me was the part where they talked about JJ's 'girlfriend' on stage and guess what the song name became?

"Sha La Hei Yo Only To You.."

What is 'sha la hei yo'?

The rest of the translation is alright because it's correct..but at least do some research before you write lah. There are Koreans in Malaysia too you know.

Then there is the movie title translations...really priceless sometimes.
