Yesterday Once More

Came across this song today. I just love it! By carpenters:-

When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along,
It make me smile.
Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone.

But they're back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I love so well.
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine
When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry just like before.
It's yesterday once more. (Shoobie do lang lang) (Shoobie do lang lang)

Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that had makes today seem rather sad,
So much has changed.
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
And I'd memorise each word.
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away E
very shalala every wo'wo still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine

All my best memorise come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry just like before.
It's yesterday once more. (Shoobie do lang lang)
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing so fine

Orange Jasmine (七里香) - Jay Again

I love this lyrics too...I literally translate this.

窗外的麻雀 在电线杆上多嘴 (Sparrows are busy chatting on electricity post)
你说这一句 很有夏天的感觉 (You said those words possess a strong smell of the summer day)
手中的铅笔 在纸上来来回回 (The pencil in the hands are busy running to and fro on the paper)
我用几行字形容你是我的谁 (I use a few words to describe who you are to me)

秋刀鱼的滋味 猫跟你都想了解 (The taste of unagi makes the curiosity out of you and the cat)
初恋的香味就这样被我们寻回 (That's how we brought back the taste of our first love)
那温暖的阳光 象刚摘的鲜艳草莓 (The warmth of the sun is similar to the ripen strawberries)
你说你舍不得吃掉这一种感觉 (You said you dont wish to eat away this kind of feeling)

雨下整夜 我的爱溢出就象雨水 (Although it's raining throughout the night, my love for you is like the pouring rain)
院子落叶 跟我的思念厚厚一叠 (The thicken fallen leaves are similar to my strong misses for you)
几句是非 也无法将我的热情冷却 (The bad rumours about you are unable to dampen my love for you)
你出现在我诗的每一页 (You appear in each page of the poem that I wrote)

雨下整夜 我的爱溢出就象雨水 (Althought it's raining throughout the night, my love for you is like the pouring rain)
窗台蝴蝶 象诗里纷飞的美丽章节 (The butterflies by the window are like the poems looking so beautiful and ravishing)
我接着写 把永远爱你写进诗的结尾 (I continue to write that you are my forever love in each poem endings)
你是我唯一想要的了解 (You are the only one that I wish and want to know)

Hmmm... I wonder how many guys are able to do that. Very meaningful but do guys like this exist?? I really wonder...

Where is the love?

A good lyrics to ponder on what's happening around us!!

Where is the love?
By: Black Eyed Peas

What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamasI think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach or
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)

It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing sufferingAs the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)Where's the love y'all?

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach or
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help usSend some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found

People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach or
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioningWhere is the love?

Where is the promised happiness?

One of my favourite songs by Jay Chou "Where is the promised happiness?". I found the lyrics is very very meaningful which made me post it on my blog. Most of his songs represents my thoughts ^-^. Hmm, let's see if I can translate it cos my mandarin can barely make it ... hahaha.

周杰伦 - 说好的幸福呢 (Jay Chou - Where is the promised happiness)
词：方文山 曲：周杰伦

你的回话凌乱着 在这个时刻 (At this time, your words are messy)
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽 甜蜜散落了 (I remembered pair of doves rested on the grounds lovingly)
情绪莫名的拉扯 我还爱你呢 (A weird feeling inside me telling me I still love you)
而你断断续续唱着歌 假装没事了 (You sang continuously pretending you are okay)
时间过了 走了 爱情面临选择 (Time passed and the relationship faced challenges)
你冷了 倦了 我哭了 (You cried, felt tired and I cried)
离开时的不快乐 你用卡片手写着 (The unhappiness of breaking up was written in a card)
有些爱只给到这 真的痛了 (The love that given till now makes it most hurtful)
怎么了 你累了 说好的 幸福呢 (Why do you feel tired and where is the promised happiness)
我懂了 不说了 爱淡了 梦远了 (I understand and that's why I stopped asking, the love has become bland and the dreams have drifted far)
开心与不开心一一细数着 你再不舍(The happiness and unhappiness are counted no matter how unwilling you are)
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻 我都还记得 (I still remembered clearly on those days that we once loved)
你不等了 说好的 幸福呢 (You do not wish to wait and where is the promised happiness)
我错了 泪干了 放手了 后悔了 (I am wrong, my tears dried, I have let go and I regretted)
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着 要怎么停呢 (Left only the memories in the music box and how can I stop them from flooding back)

Good lyrics right? So never ever feel regret when you are entangled in a relationship. Dont make choices that you will regret someday ^_-. Good luck to all lovers! I dont make a good translation though. The chinese version is much much better till it touches your heart and soul! Way to go Jay Chou! You will always have my support cos your songs go through thin and thick in my life path. Thanks, Jay! I love you!!
