Leaflute, impressive



I am very impressed with this guy. He can play leaflute perfectly well. I wish I could learn it. I knew of this from my student, and at first I don't think it's possible. But after watching this video, I am totally into it! I should find some time to learn this...

Ju Hua Tai (Chrysanthemum Flower Bed)



I love this song, very touching and poetic. It's the soundtrack of a Chinese movie "Curse of The Golden Flower", one of the chinese movies I like so much.
So, here is the lyric and the translation of the song.

妳 的淚光 柔弱中帶傷
ni / de lei guang / rou ruo zhong dai shang
Your tears reflect pain in its tenderness

慘白的月彎彎 勾住過往
can bai de yue wan wan / gou zhu guo wang
The pale white crescent moon hooks onto the past

夜 太漫長 凝結成了霜
ye / tai man chang / ning jie cheng le shuang
The endless night freezing into frost

是誰在閣樓上 冰冷的絕望
shi shui zai ge lou shang / bing leng de jue wang
Who is in the loft, in icy cold despair


雨 輕輕彈 朱紅色的窗
yu / qing qing tan / zhu hong se de chuang
Rain gently bouncing off the vermillon window

我一生在紙上 被風吹亂
wo yi sheng zai zhi shang / bei feng chui luan
My entire life on paper, messed up by the wind

夢 在遠方 化成一縷香
meng / zai yuan fang / hua cheng yi lv xiang
Dreams become faint in a faraway place

隨風飄散 妳的模樣
sui feng piao san / ni de mo yang
The image of you, drifting in the wind

*菊花殘 滿地傷 妳的笑容已泛黃
ju hua can / man di shang / ni de xiao rong yi fan huang
Crushed chrysanthemums reflect our pain. Your smile has faded

花落人斷腸 我心事靜靜躺
hua luo ren duan chang / wo xin shi jing jing tang
Hearts broken into million pieces like petals falling, I lay my troubles aside

北風亂 夜未央 妳的影子剪不斷
bei feng luan / ye wei yang / ni de ying zi jian bu duan
Northern winds gush and the night is still young. Unable to shake off your shadow

徒留我孤單 在湖面 成雙*
tu liu wo gu dan / zai hu mian / cheng shuang
Leaving me alone with my reflection in the water


花 已向晚 飄落了燦爛
hua / yi xiang wan / piao luo le can lan
Flowers at dusk, fallen splendor

凋謝的世道上 命運不堪
diao xie de shi dao shang / ming yun bu kan
Withering social values, Unthinkable fate

愁 莫渡江 秋心拆兩半
chou / muo du jiang / qiu xin chai liang ban
Don’t cross the river. Worries tearing my heart into half

怕妳上不了岸 一輩子搖晃
pa ni shang bu liao an / yi bei zi yao huang
Afraid that you will be unable to get back ashore, floating for the rest of your life


誰 的江山 馬蹄聲狂亂
shui / de jiang shan / ma ti sheng guang luan
Whose territory is this? Hysterical galloping of horses

我一身的戎裝 呼嘯滄桑
wo yi shen de rong zhuang / hu xiao cang sang
Fully armoured, My life whizzed me by

天 微微亮 妳輕聲的嘆
tian / wei wei liang / ni qing sheng de tan
Coming dawn, you sigh softly

一夜惆悵 如此委婉
yi ye chou chang / ru ci wei wan
A melancholy night such tactful indirectness

REPEAT**

"You belong with me" by Taylor Swift turns "Just a Zombie" Parody by Venetian Princess



Such a hilarious video!! My student asked me to watch this morning... lol

I then checked about this lady who makes a lot of parodies, she is kinda notorious for this. I admire her creativity. Click here if you want to read a lil bit about Venetian Princess.

Fa Ru Xue (music video)

This is one of my most favourite mandarin songs! Enjoy...



狼牙月 伊人憔悴
lang ya yue / yi ren qiao cui
A crescent moon, my loved one  is waned and sallow 
 
我举杯 饮尽了风雪
wo ju bei / yin jin le feng xue
I raise a cup and drank in the frost

是谁打翻前世柜
shi shui da fan qian shi gui
Who overturned the box of incarnations

惹尘埃是非
re chen ai shi fei
Evoking arguments

缘字诀 几番轮回
yuan zi jue / ji fan lun hui
A predestined formula of fate undergoes countless reincarnations

你锁眉 哭红颜唤不回
ni suo mei / ku hong yan huan bu hui
You frowned, crying  for love lost

纵然青史已经成灰
zong ran qing shi yi jing cheng hui
Even if the annals of history had already become dust

我爱不灭
wo ai bu mie
My love will not disappear

繁华如三千东流水
fan hua ru san qian dong liu shui
Grandeur is like three thousand waters flowing south

我只取一瓢爱了解
wo zhi qu yi piao ai liao jie
Yet I only choose a ladle of love to comprehend

只恋你化身的蝶
zhi lian ni hua shen de die
Only long for your butterfly incarnation

你发如雪 凄美了离别
ni fa ru xue / qi mei le li bie
Your hair is like snow, making our parting chillingly beautiful

我焚香感动了谁
wo fen xiang gan dong le shui
Who's moved by my (offerings of) incense?

邀明月让回忆皎洁
yao ming yue rang hui yi jiao jie
Inviting the full moon to highlight my memories

爱在月光下完美
ai zai yue guang xia wan mei
Love becomes pure beneath the moonlight

你发如雪 纷飞了眼泪
ni fa ru xue / fen fei le yan lei
Your hair is like snow, your tears are flying

我等待苍老了谁
wo deng dai cang lao le shui
Who had waned while I waited?

红尘醉 微醺的岁月
hong chen zui / wei xun de sui yue
In the era of mortal intoxication

我用无悔 刻永世爱你的碑
wo yong wu hui / ke yong shi ai ni de bei
I'll use my devotion to carve a tablet of love for you

(Rap)

Inviting the full moon to highlight my memories

ai zai yue guang xia wan mei
Love becomes pure beneath the moonlight

你发如雪 纷飞了眼泪
ni fa ru xue / fen fei le yan lei
Your hair is like snow, your tears are flying

我等待苍老了谁
wo deng dai cang lao le shui
Who had waned while I waited?

红尘醉 微醺的岁月
hong chen zui / wei xun de sui yue
In the era of mortal intoxication

我用无悔 刻永世爱你的碑
wo yong wu hui / ke yong shi ai ni de bei
I'll use my devotion to carve a tablet of love for you

啦儿啦 ~
la er la ~
La er la~

铜镜映无邪 扎马尾
tong jing ying wu xie / zha mai wei
The bronzed mirror reflects a picture of innocence and pigtails

你若撒野 今生我把酒奉陪
ni ruo sa ye / jin sheng wo ba jiu feng pei
Since you (coyly) requested, I'll keep you company and drink with you in this life

Thinking of you... (Music video)



I am really into this song, I find it very sad, beautiful, and Katy's voice is great... Haunted by this song today... I keep repeating her song, and I cry too...

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed

You said move on, where do I go?
I guess second best is all I will know

You're like an Indian summer in the middle of winter
Like a hard candy with a surprise center
How do I get better once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water, so the waters I will test

He kissed my lips, I taste your mouth
He pulled me in, I was disgusted with myself

You're the best, and yes, I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
I think you should know!

'Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you, what you would do
If you were the one who was spending the night
I wish that I was looking into your eyes

Won't you walk through?
And bust in the door and take me away?
No more mistakes, i promise
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay..
