It's so long baby. So many hours, so many days.

我心里的这句话,还是想对你说 사랑해요
wo xin li de zhe ju hua, hai shi xiang dui ni shou, sarang heyo
I still want to tell you the words in my heart. Sarang Heyo

音乐重复我们共同的忧伤

In my heart we’ll never be apart

The fragrance that you left behind in my hands reminded me

在数位相机里留下的承诺

02. 曹操 | Cao Cao
Translation: stitchphil
Proof read: Ling

不是英雄不读三国
Bu shi ying xiong bu du san guo
If you're not a hero, you wouldn't read about the 3 kingdoms

若是英雄怎么能不懂寂寞
ruo shi ying xiong zhen me bu dong ji mo
How can you not understand loneliness if you are a hero

独自走下长板坡,月光太温柔
du zhi zou xia chang ban bo yue guang tai wen rou
Walking down the long board slope alone, the moonlight too is too gentle

曹操不罗嗦,一心要那荆州
Cao cao bu luo suo yi xin yao na jing zhou
Cao Cao doesn't nag, he just wants the 'jing' state wholeheartedly

用阴谋 阳谋 明说 暗夺的摸
yong ying mou yang mou an duo de mo
Stating clearly, plotting openly, and moving in the darkness

东汉末年分三国,烽火连天不休
dong han mo nian fen san guo feng hou lian tian bu xiu
The flames of war continues to burn after three kingdoms split at the end of the Han Dynasty

儿女情长没法执着,有谁来煮酒
er nu qing chang mei fa zhi zhe you shui lai zhu jiu
Can't persist in love relationships, there is no one left to prepare the wine

尔虞我诈是三国,说不清对与错
er yu wo zha shi san guo shuo bu qing dui er cuo
There is mistrust among the three kingdoms, it is difficult to tell who's right, who's wrong

纷纷扰扰千百年以后,一切又从头
fen fen rao rao qian bai nian yi hou yi qie you cong tou
Starting from scratch yet again, after thousands of years of hardship.


Background information by Jo:

Jing Zhou
is the Province of Jing within China. I believe it was the capital of China at the time, someone correct me if I’m wrong. It did serve a long history of being a capital, however.

Dong Han
was the dynasty termed before the rise of the Three Kingdoms.

Three Kingdoms
are the opposing kingdoms of [Cao] Wei, [Shu] Han, and [Dong] Wu formed upon the fall of Dong Han.

Cao Cao
rose to power amidst the turmoil nearing end of Dong Han and founded the kingdom of Wei, formally termed Cao Wei, after his name.

steal, dilute
in the lyrics mean the stealing of throne and the dilution of a centralized power.

09. Now that She's Gone

Girl you know I miss you so
I didn't know you had to go
You've had enough of our distance baby

Before I had a chance to say
I'm staying with you
For the rest of my life

Don't keep telling me these words
You don't know how much it hurts
And I'll promise you eternity
If you promise me your stay
But now it's too late
I'm no longer the man that I was

I will go on without her
Like a fool who's too sure
I'm like a bird who's lost her wing
A fire without its flame

I don't know how to be strong
When my love has to move on
I am a song without a soul
Now that she's gone
What's left of us is this song

This is our song without a soul
Now that you're gone
What's left of us in this song

12. Down

I can't believe it. Tell me I'm dreaming
That we are still ''we''?

It was amazing. Said you were lucky
That you found me

It was on a rainy day that we met
You didn't have a place to go
I said we just met so lets go slow but no
You just told me to keep you from the cold

Sorry I can't take it
Why did you fake it
Why did we kiss

And I'm just down
You left me with a note without a sound
I figured I must have been such a child
You'll never know how much I've been around
How my heart just frowns

If you're down
I'll be your teddy bear, I'll be your clown
I'll take you round and round and
If you don't mind I could be your standing ground
Even if that means I'd drown

And baby, that'll be my one last vow.

i really like this song, a lot. i listen to it over and over again now…and since there is apparently no translation for it up yet, i decided i should do my best to translate it. there is a section at the end in which i’ll explain the important aspects of the song, as well as brief historical background…so that people who don’t know who cao cao is will have a grip on the nature of this song. i tried at first to retain its poetic structure in translation, since much of it is written in the style of ancient chinese and very much poetic…but i didn’t do very well at it since ancient chinese often used one or two characters to express a complete thought that would probably take a whole sentence to explain in modern language. but hope it works anyway. =P

dōng hàn mò nián fēn sān guó, fēng huǒ lián tiān bù xiū
Three kingdoms divide the final years of Dong Han, raining endless fire.

儿 女 情 長 沒 法 執 著, 有 誰 來 煮 酒
ér nǚ qíng cháng méi fǎ zhí zhù, yǒu shéi lái zhǔ jiǔ
When love between our sons and daughters no longer ensue, who is here to warm our wine?

爾 虞 我 詐 是 三 國, 說 不 清 對 与 錯
ěr yú wǒ zhà shì sān guó, shuō bù qīng duì yǔ cuò
Our three kingdoms are but your cheats and my deceit, with no clear crime or justice.

紛 紛 扰 扰 千 百 年 以 后, 一 切 又 從 頭
fēn fēn rǎo rǎo qiān bǎi nián yǐ hòu, yī qiē yòu cóng tóu
After conflicts enduring centuries, everything repeats from the start.



不 是 英 雄 不 讀 三 國

If not hero, read not of three kingdoms.

獨 自 走 下 長 板 坡, 月 光 太 溫 柔
dú zì zǒu xià cháng bǎn pō, yuè guāng tài wēn róu
Continuing down this rigorous slope alone, the moonlight seems too vulnerable.

曹 操 不 羅 嗦, 一 心 要 那 荊 州

Cao Cao wastes no words, with a heart set on securing Jing Zhou.

Jing Zhou
is the Province of Jing within China. I believe it was the capital of China at the time, someone correct me if I’m wrong. It did serve a long history of being a capital, however.
Dong Han
was the dynasty termed before the rise of the Three Kingdoms.
Three Kingdoms
are the opposing kingdoms of [Cao] Wei, [Shu] Han, and [Dong] Wu formed upon the fall of Dong Han.
Cao Cao
rose to power amidst the turmoil nearing end of Dong Han and founded the kingdom of Wei, formally termed Cao Wei, after his name.
steal, dilute
in the lyrics mean the stealing of throne and the dilution of a centralized power.

historical debate has often centered around cao cao, an undeniably important figure in the history of china. he is often referred to as an evil advisor to the young emperor of china, plotting his death and securing his own throne upon success. some people argue that what he did was beneficial, however, in revolutionizing the power structure of the empire. one thing is for certain, he was an extremely intelligent and calculating politician with great influence. his intelligence also brought him extreme paranoia, so much so that there’s a common phrase used in chinese, “說曹操, 曹操就到 [shuo cao cao, cao cao jiu dao],” translating into “speaking of cao cao, here he comes.” the phrase grew out of his complete inability to trust. it assumes that if you talk about him or conspire against him, he is probably standing right behind you.

i really like this song, a lot. i listen to it over and over again now…and since there is apparently no translation for it up yet, i decided i should do my best to translate it. there is a section at the end in which i’ll explain the important aspects of the song, as well as brief historical background…so that people who don’t know who cao cao is will have a grip on the nature of this song. i tried at first to retain its poetic structure in translation, since much of it is written in the style of ancient chinese and very much poetic…but i didn’t do very well at it since ancient chinese often used one or two characters to express a complete thought that would probably take a whole sentence to explain in modern language. but hope it works anyway. =P

Jo: the translation are already there. Look at the first post, track #2. But it is nice to have the background information :-)

i was browsing the wrong forum...through a slight misreading.
but i think another version of translation could be good...i know
a lot of people like to put lyric translations into blogs and stuff,
so i tried to make it more poetic, more fitting for something like that.

:-)

oh yeah, as to why it appeared here, catseye merged my post
here...so i didn't initially post here. that should clear up the confusion
about my statement of "no apparent translation was posted."
third edit: i read the lyrics translation now...i think it's different.
some parts of the lyrics i think is wrong in that one...if anyone can
confirm this. like,
用陰謀陽謀明說暗奪, 淡薄. vs 用陰謀 陽謀 明說 暗奪的摸?

Yup, it is all right, i think Jo has done a good job on this one, so no harm having another version.

I found another version of that part on Lyricool.com though, so someone with the lyrics booklet might want to confirm on this one. :D

Hmmm... I've just checked... The one posted by you is the right one catseyes... 用陰謀 陽謀 明說 暗奪的謀 is the correct version.

Thanks for the alternate version Jo, I'll edit the background information into the first post.

Ling, thanks for proof reading for me so many times! I really appreciate it.

latte777, thanks for your translation for eternal life. It really does lighten my load.

Sorry for delaying this project for so long people, I was caught up with my studies. There're only 2 more tracks left. I shall get right to it.

ah so, the end of 用陰謀 陽謀 明說 暗奪的謀
or, 暗奪的謀 would still have the same pin yin
as stitchphil's translation, but instead mean
(from my translation) deliberation to steal,
without the dilute at the end. thanks
for double checking.

Thanks for the translations, its better than bugging people asking them what this and that means when all the old generation ever wants to say is that the song has no meaning.

Jing Zhou
is the Province of Jing within China. I believe it was the capital of China at the time, someone correct me if I’m wrong. It did serve a long history of being a capital, however.

I just want to add a little correction to this according to my knowledge. Jing Zhou is not a capital of China at that time. It's a province that Cao Cao wanted from the Dong Wu (one of the three kingdoms). By that time (before Cao Cao attacked) the land still undivided into three parts but after Cao Cao attacked (known as Battle of Chibi which he lost to Dong Wu and Shu Han) then the land divided into equal three parts. And also the reason for the "纷纷扰扰千百年以后,一切又从头" that tells his efforts are beaten by his enemies.

To be honest, I first interested to this song to the fact that I like Cao Cao a lot for his intellegent and persona. And I'm sorry if I rambe too much about him. :oops:
