[LYRICS] Jolin Tsai - Qi Shi Jing Shen (Spirit of the Knight) [C/PY/T]

[jayx8318x]

詞:蔡依林　曲:周杰倫

當我看見左肩破損的戰衣
盔甲後的你表情帶著笑意
想要對我說 外來的襲擊即將離公主遠去
那些令人刺耳的聲音 我不聽我不聽
偏偏我又容易受影響容易傷心
沒有用 微笑的表面不停騙自己
他們的語氣 好笑的攻擊 自卑的心理
四年來 帶著各種面具想讓你我孤立
莫名其妙那些話語 莫名其妙那些話語
如同沙子掉進眼裡 不用哭泣
莫名其妙那些話語 莫名其妙那些話語
不如下檔電影 值得注意
我 不要王子苦苦守候的故事
夢幻不實 我不希望 你是王子
因為瑰影童話結局 為戰而死
故事開端結局會因你而真實

(repeat)

像騎士的忠貞 不畏懼邪惡的眼神
這過程 一直放在我心底就像
擋在你胸前的盔甲 保護著我 讓我心疼
騎士們發揮出你們的精神
就這樣 強悍的騎士撐到最後
驕傲的公主的要回家 整裝再出發

Er, translations anyone? I love this song a lot, especially since it has such an ancient feel to it. Jolin doesn't sing half bad though Jay probably would sing it better.

(Gah! Why did I not stay in Chinese school all those years ago? WHY?!)

[cloUdsuRFer]

(Why did I not notice this forum before? Am I blind? O.O)
lol...no..its a brand spankin new forum!

(Why did I not stay in Chinese school all those years ago? WHY?!)

lol..i'm asking myself the same question!!

[babyxv]

i'm still amazed that jolin wrote those lyrics.. they're not bad either! o_O

haha linny and cloudsurfer, when you have kids you can live through them and force them to go to chinese school until they GRADUATE! >=D

[linny]

Hahahaha. You know what? I'll probably force myself to take Chinese classes in college or something...

I'm considering taking it our local community college PCC. That would be fun.

:happy:

Would some lovely person here care to do a translation for us poor Chinese-illiterate people?

[nastynas]

Okay, here's my attempt at translating the lyrics. Hope it helped. I guess I'm not too good at translating, some parts may not make sense.

当我看见左肩破损的战衣
When I see the war robe with a damaged left shoulder.
盔甲后的你表情带着笑意想要对我说
The you behind the armor wants to tell me with a laugh.
外来的袭击即将离公主远去
The raid outside will not be close to the princess.
那些令人刺耳的声音 我不听 我不听
Those harsh sounds, I won't listen, I won't listen
偏偏我又容易受影响容易伤心
Unfortunately, I am easily affected and easily hurt.
没有用 微笑的表面不停骗自己
Nothing's working, I kept on using a smiling appearance to fool myself.
他们的语气 好笑的攻击 自卑的心理
Their tone, comical attacks, and self-contemptuous mind
四年来 带着各种面具想让你我孤立
It has been 4 years, wearing different masks letting you and me become lonely.
莫名其妙那些话语 莫名期妙那些话语
All these crazy sayings, All these crazy sayings
如同沙子掉进眼里 不用哭泣
It's like sand dropping in someone's eye, no need to cry.
莫名其妙那些话语 莫名期妙那些话语
All these crazy sayings, all these crazy sayings.
不如下挡电影 值得注意
It's not even as good as a bad movie's noteworthiness.
我 不要王子苦苦守候的故事
I don't want the prince's bitter waiting story.
梦幻不实我不希望你是王子
The dream isn't real, I don't want you to be the prince.
因为瑰丽童话结局为战而死
Because the great fairly tale's ending had you die for the cause of war.
故事开端结局会因你而真实
The begining of the ending will cause you to be real.
像骑士的忠贞 不畏惧邪恩的眼神
Like a knight's loyalty, won't fear the evil eyesight.
这过程 一直放在我心底就像
This course on the bottom of my heart is like
挡在你胸前的盔甲 保护着我让我心疼
The armor blocking your chest, protecting, letting me get hurt.
骑士们 发挥出你们的精神 就这样
Knights, exert your spirit, just like this
强悍的骑士撑到最后
The intrepid knights maintained until the very end.
骄傲的公主的要回家 整装再出发
The arrogant princess must go home, equip herself then depart once more.
像骑士的忠贞 不畏惧邪恩的
眼神

Like a knight's loyalty, won't fear the evil eyesight.

(那些另人刺耳的声音 我不听 我不听)
Those harsh sounds, I won't listen, I won't listen

骑士们发挥出你们的精神
Knights, exert your spirit
(偏偏我又容易受影响容易伤心 没有用)
Unluckly, I am easily affected and easily hurt.
就这样强悍的骑士撑到最后
The intrepid knights maintained until the very end.

i'm still amazed that jolin wrote those lyrics.. they're not bad either! o_O
Correction: Jolin and a LYRICIST sat down and wrote these together. What's the job of a lyricist? To write lyrics.. why exactly did Jolin need one? To write her lyrics. I think she told him her ideas and he wrote it into a beautiful song for her. Not too hard to speak her mind, is it?

:D HA.

[ddooll]

i like that song...
Prague Sguare is also very good...
they say Prague Square could be sung by just jay himself? do you think?

i also don't think ya should hate on Jolin... just leave her alone... i'm not a fan of hers but i keep hearing negative comments about her... they same comments about her over and over again... she did sing good in her latest album "See My 72 Change" didn't she?

hmm how do you know that? i was quite amazed by the lyrics for a while too.. i was surprised that she could write soemthing so different... ( sounds like what vincent fang would have written) and why would the lyricist allow her to take all the credit?

[Serendipity]

Wasn't Vincent Fang (Fang Wen Shan) the guy who co-wrote this with her?
With help from such a powerful lyricist, I can do that too!

Note how the feel of this song is just like what something Vincent Fang would write. Interesting medieval history intertwined in the lyrics, references to things that seems to exist in a fairytale or in another dimension. All this is Vincent Fang's style!
That woman is just a copy cat!

[Ziwei]

really? that explains....
i was wondering how come Jolin aka :tomato: can write such good lyrics alone? :thumbsdo:

[obsession]

hahahha the song's good though. medival songs are..magical. :D reminds me of zorro.

lol..i guess my mom was right in making me stay in chinese school :P (not that it helps much, i read lyrics. . and i dont know 1/4 of the words ^__^)

[ThaiGurlMint]

I love this song! It has such a cool ancient Asian feel to it and the mv was shot in Thailand with traditional Thai dance in it :happy:

[jian_dan_ai72]

i have to say, i don't really like jolin -__- but i do like this song. mostly because Jay's in it hah.
lots of people go on about how beautiful jolin is, but, in my opinion, she's not that special!
there's this guy on the web, who made a page about "chinese beauties", which consists of chinese women who are, well, beautiful! jolin is one of these women, but it's a horrible picture i think! at the bottom, you vote for your favorite "chinese beauty", and if you click on the poll results, jolin won! :glug: let me see what you think ~~ :D and tell me who you vote for, i voted for Yoyo Chen

[Fantasy27]

WOW! Thanx for the lyric. I love this song, It is really really nice! It has the nice rhythm n everythin, but can you translate it, please? I used to learn chinese a bit, but then, it was ages ago

CORRECTION from my last post! Thnx for the translation! I really wish i learn a bit more chinese now! This is not fair

[Da wei]

ani idea of what the second voice is saying in the last verse?

[cherioO]

I think she carried out this song really well, it must be pretty difficult to sing that "mo ming qi miao na xie hua yu" part. If she took credit, then the lyricist must have been agreeable to it right? And she could have written part of it herself. No matter what, it's still a great song.
