i've recently taken up the hobby of rewriting lyrics to popular songs. just curious... do you guys rewrite lyrics to jay's songs? =P well, if you do, please share! here's my feeble attempt at "translating" the song "can't open mouth" (kai bu liao kou) for an english version. heehee... ^0^

"Can’t Say"

Verse:
It’s only been an hour or two since you left and I’m already thinking about how you are
You’re all that’s on my mind, I can’t even fall asleep
Your lovely face, sweet embrace, and fragrance still linger in this room and in my heart
My happiness is you, when I think of you, I smile

Whenever you’re gone, I just feel so lost (Whenever you’re gone, I feel so lost, so helpless)
When you’re not here, I just lose my mind (When you’re not here, I get devoured by darkness)
I tried so hard to express exactly how I feel
But in the end I realized that I was one step behind

Chorus:
I don’t know why I can’t seem to tell you
That I so want to protect you and make you laugh
You mean so much to me, do you even know how much I care?
But now you finally found someone who just loves you as much
And I just can’t seem to say “I love you”
I don’t know why those three words just can’t come out right
And now it’s already too late for me to show you my love
All I can do is watch you from afar and be your friend always

hmm, that's not bad at all! ^^

i've never really done that before, but my friend and i have tried to right parodies before, she completely twisted Jian Dan ai, and An jing, it was really funny, didn't make any sense, but it was neverthless, funny. ^^;;

Never tried rewriting lyrics to Jay's songs too.You did a good job for rewritting your own though.Maybe if you have a chance to meet Jay,you can sing it too him.Or show it too me,but it will be best if it's in chinese of course.Great job you did with rewriting the lyrics.

I will only do that when i'm moody or feeling something else.. There's one link at my signature. A re-write version of shi jie mo ri.

That day, i was watching "Qing Tian" MV... reminds me of my past love experience... so i re-write "Ai Qing Xuan Ya".

Here it goes...

放弃
词:作者 曲:诗人

我说我像一个小孩 天真又不乖
你说感情不会变坏 你却抛弃要走开
为何要离开 我接受不来 伤害 心已碎了
这样的爱 该怎么来挨 你还回不回来
我会等待 等你的回来


我看着玻璃瓶盖 很多话说不出来
想这我和你的爱 到底能不能重来
这种感觉的伤害 刺穿我心中血脉 心真的好乱
我撑不过来


心中的阴影还在 你的背影还存在
想念从前的恩爱 你为何选择离开
我的心还在等待 但偏偏爱不回来
重新站起来 放弃这份爱

I tried to rewrite the lyrics. Only changed a few words....my friends also tried to rewrite the stuff in cantonese. We bursted out laughing cause it sounded so bad haha.

Those lyrics aren't too bad, but next time your rewriting lyrics keep letter accents in mind (k compared with s).

I was gonna rewrite "Silence" when I enterend this talent thing in Toronto but then I ran out of time...argh, didn't win either!! BOOO lol
