Your favorite quote from a song by Jay

[tequilamehico0070]

Hi there,

:rolleyes: I'm a newbie, I guess you all can get it without me saying. :wave: I'm Vietnamese and now living in Perth, Australia. I'm 16... All my friends call me SS :wink2: That's just a nick.
I have been listening to Jay's songs for a long time but just had a crush when I noticed the real meaning of the lyrics. I hardly know any Chinese word. It was an English translation of Nocturne that turned me to Jay.
Here's a quote that, together with the clip, sort of took my breath for a few secs :rolleyes: : "I use an exquisite font-type to depict that love which not even regret will bring back".
If possible, please leave a line telling me your favorite quotes. :-)

Nice to meet you all! Hope we can be friends then :tongue:

[Sukai]

Well.. I like "Wo Bu Pei" a lot.. "I'm Not Worthy" from the latest album, On The Run and erm.. I think it just caught me out of surprise that the translation is so good.. and meaningful..

Yep, SS you are not alone. Although I'm Chinese from Malaysia, I don't know how to read Mandarin, let alone sing and fully understand them.

So this is the quote.. right before the chorus..


The seats in the cinema
Have such a distance in between
If there isn’t a on-screen partner, it feels like playing chess on your own

[Pao-Pao]

Hi there SS!!!

:welcome:

You know, SS is actually the initials of our group here Stranded Society hehe so cool!!....I'm Paola from Venezuela, nice to meeting you!!

Thank you for the intro...was great, very complete!!!

I have a few quotes but the new song is so beautiful that I love the whole thing hehe...all the verses are great and the song is so meaningful so if I have to choose one song by the lyrics or just one phrase that means a lot to me, that would be the song...Dao Xiang...I can't even write just one phrase cuz the whole song is amazing.

BTW shouldn't be your nickname Mexico?? hehe

[susanigger]

i like a ll ofjays meaning ful lyrics :D

[tequilamehico0070]

Yay! Nice to meet you, too, Paola!

Mexico? I don't think I like that nick. :D God, people might think I'm from Mexico.

All right, thanks for your post. I'm on the way looking for the song you mentioned.

Cheers,

Are you intending to learn Mandarin? I was trying to learn how to read the romanization (?! I mean things like "wo bu pei") so that I can somehow sing along. :P

It might be hurtful when those lyrics match our own cases. Luckily, I haven't been through any sad things or even a relationship. :D

[fantasynite]

without your smile, how can i sleep!

how long must my msg b..

[chiru]

You might find me quite ridiculous for saying this, but in the song "Zhou Da Xia" during the part where he says, "I don't sell tofu." Ahaha...

I believe that was a run on sentence, but I do not know how to refrase that. >__< I think I spelled "refrase" wrong too....

[plushietiger]

I love the part he sings "Aiyoh?" in Red Imitation(Hong Mo Fang) because it needs no translation, it just sounds so funny and cute-in-a-way

[atticsnow]

Hiya ^^ i like Cai Hong 'Rainbow'. means alot to me. now Dao Xiang is also climbing up the scale as it is very meaningful.

[nnvananh]

You are just like me, SS. It was Nocturne that made me fell for Jay. It was 2 years ago when i finished the univ exam i started to look for some entertainment as i concentrated in studying for a long time, several months, and didn't listen to any music or watch TV. At that time i read about Jay on local news (vietnamese) that him working very hard as a composer and he even lived in the studio attracted me (a lie, actually it was his cool pics that attracted me) then i began to search for his songs, and the first song i heard was Ye qu, then instantly became his fan after listening to that song.
I lived in sai gon and now in brisbane, 19. where are you from, SS?

[jazlyn87]

hi SS ,welcome to the forum ..

well, just like you, i can't really understand chinese even though i'm one

i mean, there are some things that i don't quite get ..

this forum has helped a lot for the past two years :D

and i fell in love with jay's fa ru xue so i guess my fave lines are those in it ..

[kenzou22]

An Jin- Its because i love you so much

very meaningful and just simple right?

[jaylun_rox]

One of the lines I love from ye qu: 心碎的很好听.
Ah, what a description.

[andantino]

i've got like a list of them!!!

* 再给我两分钟 让我把回忆结成冰
* 爱是不是不开口才珍贵
* 而我心碎 你受罪 你的美 我不配
* 为什么这样子 你拉着我说你有些犹豫
* 趁时间没发觉 让我带着你离开
* 我的快乐是你 想你 想的都会笑
* 我害怕你心碎没人帮你擦眼泪
* 还来不及仔仔细细写下你的关于
* 不想太多 我想一定是我听错 弄错 镐错
* 你说你好累 已无法再爱上谁
* 我用力牵起没温度的双手
* 被伤透的心能不能够继续爱我
* 希望她是真的比我还要爱你
* 没有预兆 出乎预料 竟然先对我示好
* 你的香味一直徘徊 我舍不得离开
* 这么那一天的我们 都默默地微笑很久
* 连隔壁另据都猜到我现在的感受
* 坏坏的 让我疯狂的
* 表错情的感觉有一点糟
* 喜欢的对象要自己挑
* 他们猜 随便猜 不重要
* 任何人都猜不到 这是我们的暗号
* 我想就这样牵着你的手不放开
* 赖着不走回让人 很感冒
* 而眼泪一直都忘记要掉
* 这样也好 开始没人注意到你我
* 你的爱反复徘徊 打乱我呼吸节拍
* 就是那么简单几句我办不到
* 就是开不了口让他知道
* 你对我有多重要我后悔没让你知道
* 安静得听你撒娇看你睡觉一直到老
* 我想你已表现得非常明白 我懂我也知道
* 她的手应该比我更暖
* 你已经远远离开 我也会慢慢走开
* 失去你　我连笑容都有阴影
* 你不用在意 流泪也只是刚好而已
* 太多的我爱你 让我喘不过气
* 粗心的眼泪是多余
* 整颗心悬在半空 我只能够远远看着
* 这些我都做到但那个人已经不是我
* 天空灰的想哭过
* 我掉進愛情懸崖 跌太深爬不出來
* 想象不到如此心跳 你的一切都想要
* 这里最不缺就是热闹
* 还有没有人知道 你的微笑像拥抱
* 多想藏着你的好 只有我看得到
* 坚持学单纯的小孩 静静看守这份爱
* 我加速超越 卻甩不掉緊緊跟隨的傷悲

these are my all time fav PM in msn ;p
i'm sure i'll have more when his new album comes out!

[bananasplitz127]

im a newbie too! (well, duh, since im posting in the newbie sanctuary)
anyway, im bananasplitz127, im an ABC, australian born chinese, and i was actually introduced to jay by my dad, who heard Qi Li Xiang and liked it a lot. Anywayz.
my favourite lines... hmm...
1. 'Xiang hui dao guo qu, shi jian ni zai wo huai li' from Return to the Past my fave song of all time

2. 'Ni yao li kai, wo zhi dao hen jian dan' from Cai Hong

Cya!

[Petom JJ]

You might find me quite ridiculous for saying this, but in the song "Zhou Da Xia" during the part where he says, "I don't sell tofu." Ahaha...
I believe that was a run on sentence, but I do not know how to refrase that. >__< I think I spelled "refrase" wrong too....

LOL thats my sister's favorite line too! She's not into Jay's music but then she keeps "wo bu mai tofu tofu.." all the time :laughing:

well i also have a ridiculous favorite quote from Wai Po: "And not just $600" ~ i just think its brilliant :happy:

[my_swe3t_heart]

the lyrics in cai hong are the prettiest, most meaningful, i think, because of the simplicity but depth in the words, especially 'ni you li kai, wo zhi dao hen jian dan...'

also, i love that line in an jing: 'zhi shen xia gang qin pei wo tan zai zhe li' or somethink like that

[MiloBeannie]

hahas.. i cant name them.. too many !!! :D i've loved him since Fantasy. and still loving. and more and more phrases are becoming more and more meaningful to me! :D

[kirina1309]

An Jing 'you've already gone far away, and I will slowly walk away", i have to check my fav clips again and come back here

[BabyAngel]

I Like Bu Neng Shuo De Mi Mi chorus from Secret Album ..... it really a meaningful phrase for me of course .... this song really have a deep impression inside my mind always ~

[c_melody]

最美的不是下雨天。。。 是曾与你躲过雨的屋檐

“Rainy days are not the most beautiful. It's the shelters that I once shared with you in the rain. "

[S0gGyBanANa]

hmmm one very old song...

"Wo xiang jiu zhe yang qian zhe ni de shou bu fang kai"
(I wanna hold onto ya hand this way and never let it go)

great significance for me now... hahahaa...

[kirina1309]

i found something else a moment ago
i really like it
'let the crystal teardrops sparkle into memories'
from Wan Mei Zhu Yi

[maximumUP]

"Crushed chrysanthemums reflect our pain." That line always gets me.

[meimoi]

i like WO BU PEI a lot..
actually CAI HONG is much more romantic

but the lyrics of WO BU PEI make me feels like it wasn't Vincent Fang made it.
it's Jay wrote the lyrics himself..

hahaha.. don't u think so?
and the MV was so touch me. it looks like describe his reality..
how painful when you become an artist, u can't be together with the one u love... huhu.. so sweeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttt..

but it has a bad ending T_T


I have yet the time
in detail
to pen down everything about you
describing how much I love you
But you have already left me with a smile

[daynasour]

jay says many many meaningful and touchy lines in his songs.. i like alot..
one of them is from the song jie kou..
ru guo yao zhuo, qing ni ji de wo,
ru guo nan guo, qing ni wang le wo.
so saddd =(

[He-On]

"you said you were tired, but you have already fallen in love with someone else" (from Yi lu xiang bei)

[St3phY]

My all time fave Jay song is "Jian Dan Ai"! It's the first song I've ever heard from him, and I still loveeeee it! :)

[zhouxtina]

grandeur is like three thousand rivers flowing south...
when our childhood sand castles were broken, all we had to do was rebuild it
but in your blood-stained bulleted army vest, you can't even raise a praying hand...
i send you away to the far end of earth; are you still there?
---
plz, plz listen to these three songs...definitely the best...better than wo bu pei or these other pop songs that he sometimes churns out...most meaningful lyrics in the world,...

[may-wu]

Hi SS
Nice to meet you.
I'm May from Bali - Indonesia
Well, I like Gui Ji that's really cool and so meaningful...

[cinnimon~]

Jay is so poetic it's hard to even narrow down a song which has really beautiful and outstanding lyrics! But currently its
或许命运的签 只让我们遇见
From 不能说的秘密
His songs are just, oh- so- beutiful :)

[liloocindiee]

Jay Chou is the best! i have so many favorites i dont know which one to choose from. well the very first song that made me fall in love with him was ju hua tai.

[eternalis]

:O favorite quote would prolly be uh 我懂了.不說了.愛淡了.夢遠了 8D
yeah ss im sorta on the same page as you.. though im cantonese i really used to not understand mando right. instead of nocturne my cousin decided to be nice and he taught me meanings and stuff so 8D
im canadian eh xD

[darkpoet103086]

My favorite line is "hungry ants attracted to rotten flesh" from Nocturne. That line is so descriptive and deep, reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe. It's what inspired me to write poetry.

[CallMeLiYah]

I was thinking about the lyrics from 不能说的秘密 but I can't just pick one line...hm...I really love the entire song but if I really have to choose then I'd pick "你说把爱渐渐放下会走更远 [You say to gradually let go of love, then you will walk farther]"....and well, the following lyrics <3
[translation from cocoice vid@youtube]

[keskio]

the song i'm recently in love with is white windmill

my favourite part is:

我背你走到最后 能不能别想太多
wo bei ni zou dao zui hou / neng bu neng bie xiang tai duo
I carry you till the end, can we not think too much

会不会手牵着手 晚一点再到尽头
hui bu bui shou qian zhe shou / wan yi dian zai dao jing tou
Will we still be holding hands, reaching later to the end

你说不该再相见 只为了瞬间
ni shuo bu gai zai xiang jian / zi wei le shun jian
You said we shouldn't meet anymore just for this brief moment

谢谢你让我听见 因为我在等待永远
xie xie ni ran wo ting jian / yin wei wo zai deng dai yong yuan
Thanks for letting me know, for I will be here waiting for eternity

[JALYN:D]

从前从前 有个人爱你很久
cong qian cong qian you ge ren ai ni hen jiu
Long ago, a person loved you for so long
(From 晴天, Jay has a lot of feelings when he sang that line.....)

或许命运的签 只让我们遇见
huo xu ming yun de qian zhi rang wo men yu jian
Perhaps life's destiny lot only allowed us to meet
(From 不能说的秘密, it just links a lot to the show....)

Actually, usually it's more like Vincent Fang who's a good lyricist. Although some songs were written by Jay himself:)

[kobe24]

Favorite song is The Longest Movie...give me 2 minutes so i can freeze time

[TYFR]

如果華佗再世 祟洋都被醫治 外邦來學漢字 激發我民族意識

If Hua Tuo were still alive,
Worshipping of foreign cultures would be healed ,
Foreigners coming to learn Chinese characters,
Stimulates my national consciousness

So true considering a lot of young people nowdays listen only to english songs. When u tell them to listen to jay, them COMPLAIN that he sings blurry:crazy:

[ChunElla]

会不会手牵着手 晚一点再到尽头
hui bu bui shou qian zhe shou / wan yi dian zai dao jing tou
Will we still be holding hands, reaching later to the end


I agree. I love this quote very much. It's very touching for me.:wink2:

[supernovasuicide]

我知道你我都没有错 只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给了承诺 却被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错 只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情 回忆里待续

from 退後.

some part of my heart gets broken every time i hear this song, awww )-:

[seaweedie]

Jay's songs have a way of tugging at your heartstrings... And the thing is, the lines I love most are often also the most heartbreaking.

I know there are better quotes out there, but the one that cuts closest to home right now can be found in 白色風車 (White Windmill):

夢希望沒有盡頭 我們走到這就好
因為我不想太快走完這幸福

How bittersweet - this wish to stop for fear of the end, despite the underlying desire for eternity.

[Haruka]

ni de mei wo bu pei, :C you're beautiful , im not worthy :)

[yunni]

i like cai hong,qi li xiang,tuei hou,aishhhhhh
i luv all jay songs :)

[marco712]

是因為我太愛你
it's because I love you too much

[jay_chou_fan]

Mine is An Jing,
"Wo Hui Xue Zhe Fang Qi NI
Shi Ying Wei Wo Tai Ai Ni"
I love that quote or line from Jay. Because such little words means so much sorrow and pain yet so much feelings. Also because it's my favorite song from Jay and my first. But An Jing all the way for me.

[Chinese boy]

我是一个中国:D:D:D:D:bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh::bleh: :bleh::bleh:

[orangealligator]

谢谢你让我听见 因为我在等待永远
xie xie ni ran wo ting jian / yin wei wo zai deng dai yong yuan
Thanks for letting me know, for I will be here waiting for eternity

From Bai Se Feng Che

[Azhurai]

Hi, Im a newbie from China ;) but i've been here only for 8 months so my mandarin isnt too good...btw i love all JC's song but I think Cai Hong's the one I love the most....

就算放開 但能不能別沒收我的愛
當作我最後才明白

Jiu suan fang kai dan neng bu neng bie mo shou wo de ai
Dang zuo wo zui hou cai ming bai

If you choose to let go but don't remove my love for you
I'll just pretend that I understand in the end

For all boys and girls in this world...and for those whos heart's breaking into pieces..

[xyhold]

emm ~ the one in capricorn album
" ju lu ge bu kai " which means can't be seperated by distance
its really touching me, cause now im in LDR :D

[akarui]

yi lu xiang bei-the first jay' song I heard.the lyrics so impressive and meaningful!
i love all songs of jay!
but my favorite recent lyrics are lan ting xu (the flowery words and so great!) and liu lang shi ren
...

[maddywolf]

不懂 你的黑色幽默 想通 卻又再考倒我 found in black humor.
i find it really meaningful
