This is such beautiful ballad by Jay Chou from his new album 我很忙 (literally “I’m very busy”, but I heard it’s called “On the Run”). The song is called 蒲公英的约定 which means “the dandelion’s promise”. I really love it^_^ So here are the Chinese lyrics:
周杰伦 - 蒲公英的约定
小学篱笆旁的蒲公英
十几英里有味道的风景
雾水草场传来她的声音
多少年后也开始很好听
将愿望折纸飞机寄出信
因为我们等不到那流星
等枕头坠离命运的引力
却不知道到底能去哪里已经长大的约定 那样清晰
拿过到的我相信
说好要一起旅行
是你如今 唯一坚持的任性在走廊想霸占她手心
我们却注意窗边的情敌
我去到哪里你都跟很紧
哼歌而梦在等待着惊喜已经长大的约定 那样清晰
拿过到的我相信
说好要一起旅行
是你如今 唯一坚持的任性
已经长大的约定 那样珍惜
与你聊不完的曾经
而我已经分不清 你是友情
还是错过的爱情
And the Pinyin version for those who don’t know Chinese so well:
zhōu jié lún - pú gōng yīng de yuē dìng
xiǎo xué lí bā páng de pú gōng yīng
shí jǐ yīng lǐ yǒu wèi dào de fēng jǐng
wù shuǐ cǎo chǎng chuán lái tā de shēng yīn

And here is the English translation. I’m really getting used to the translating and it’s going much easier and fluent now! As already mentioned the title is called “dandelion’s promise”
Jay Chou - The dandelion’s promise
In primary school there was a dandelion at the fence
In the countryside the fragrance spread over ten miles
Through the fog and the meadow her voice came to me
I’ll fold my wish into a paper plane and send it out
Because we cannot wait for that shooting star
As we wait for the pillow to leave the pull of fate
We still don’t know where we can goThe already grown-up promise is so clear
I believe in what I’ve received
We promised to travel together
Today this is the only stubborn thing you hold on toIn the corridor I want to hold on to her hand
But we noticed the jealous people at the window
Wherever I go you always follow very close
Singing and dreaming we are waiting for a surpriseThe already grown-up promise is so clear
I believe in what I’ve received
We promised to travel together
Today this is the only stubborn thing you hold on to
The already grown-up promise is so precious
I could talk forever about the past with you
And I already cannot distinguish whether you are friendship
Or a missed out love.
Listen to the song here. There is no video here, but therefore the music quality is great!
