Lyrics in traditional Chinese:

1.
每顆心上某一個地方
總有個記憶揮不散
每個深夜某一個地方
總有著最深的思量

世間萬千的變幻
愛把有情的人分兩端
心若知道靈犀的方向
哪怕不能夠朝夕相伴

2.
城裡的月光把夢照亮
請溫暖他心房
看透了人間聚散
能不能多點快樂片段

城裡的月光把夢照亮
請守護它身旁
若有一天能重逢
讓幸福撒滿整個夜晚

Repeat 1, 2, 2
若有一天能重逢
讓幸福撒滿整個夜晚


Lyrics in simplified Chinese:

1.
每颗心上某一个地方
总有个记忆挥不散
每个深夜某一个地方
总有著最深的思量

世间万千的变幻
爱把有情的人分两端
心若知道灵犀的方向
哪怕不能够朝夕相伴

2.
城里的月光把梦照亮
请温暖他心房
看透了人间聚散
能不能多点快乐片段

城里的月光把梦照亮
请守护它身旁
若有一天能重逢
让幸福撒满整个夜晚

Repeat 1, 2, 2

若有一天能重逢
让幸福撒满整个夜晚


Yesterday was
Shuang Shi Jie (Double Tenth Day), Taiwan's 98-year-old birthday. Due to Typhoon Morakot in August, the government canceled the celebration activities they used to do every year. They use the funds for the activities to help the disaster reconstruction. I think they did the right thing.

    Very interesting. Is Mavis Hee from Taiwan or is she from China?

    Maybe you can write something about the singer. It will be so much more interesting if we know more.

    I love your video clips, thank you for sharing.

    Great song, I was able to follow at first (I think)
    Still the nicest blog about learning Chinese (Mandarin). I wish she would post some things about herself in Mandarin and English also.

    Thank you both for visiting and nice comments, Cinnamon and kissbarbados.

    Mavis Hee is from Singapore. There's a link in my post where it says "Mavis Hee", it'll take you to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavis_Hee You'll see the detail about her. I appreciate your suggestion, Cinnamon. I'll try to write a bit about singers in my future posts.

    I'm assuming you'd like me to post something about myself, kissbarbados? I plan to move my blog to somewhere that allows me to have a "About Me" page. I hope you'll like that.

    This is a nice song. However, the translation has some mistakes. For example: in some part says thousands of changing... I don't know if it is thousands of changes or something else. Buy Viagra Viagra
