Alright, here's the third song that Jay wrote for Jolin on her new album "Castle".

Chinese with Pinyin:

倒帶
Dao Dai

作詞:方文山 (Fang Wen Shan)
作曲:周杰倫 (Zhou Jie Lun)

Verse 1:
我受夠了等待你所謂的安排　
wo shou gou le deng dai ni suo wei de an pai
說的未來到底多久才來
shuo de wei lai dao di duo jiu cai lai
總是要來不及才知道我可愛　
zong shi yao lai bu ji cai zhi dao wo ke ai
我想依賴而你卻都不在
wo xiang yi lai er ni que dou bu zai

應該開心的地帶　
ying gai kai xin de di dai
你給的全是空白　
ni gei de quan shi kong bai
一個人假日發呆　
yi ge ren jia ri fa dai
找不到人陪我看海
zhao bu dao ren pei wo kan hai
我在幸福的門外　
wo zai xing fu de men wai
卻一直都進不來　
que yi zhi dou jin bu lai
你累積給的傷害　
ni lei ji gei de shang hai
我是真的很難釋懷
wo shi zhen de hen nan shi huai

Chorus:
終於看開愛回不來　
zhong yu kan kai ai hui bu lai
而你總是太晚明白　
er ni zong shi tai wan ming bai
最後才把話說開　
zui hou cai ba hua shuo kai
哭著求我留下來
ku zhe qiu wo liu xia lai
終於看開愛回不來　
zhong yu kan kai ai hui bu lai
我們面前太多阻礙　
wo men mian qian tai duo zu ai
你的手卻放不開　
ni de shou que fang bu kai
寧願沒出息求我別離開
ning yuan mei chu xi qiu wo bie li kai

Verse 2:
你總是要我乖慢慢計劃將來　
ni zong shi yao wo guai man man ji hua jiang lai
我的眼淚卻一直掉下來
wo de yan lei que yi zhi diao xia lai
過去怎麼交代你該給的信賴　
guo qu zen me jiao dai ni gai gei de xin lai
被你親手緩緩推入懸崖
bei ni qin shou huan huan tui ru xuan ya

從我臉上的蒼白　
cong wo lian shang de cang bai
看到記憶慢下來　
kan dao ji yi man xia lai
過去甜蜜在倒帶　
guo qu tian mi zai dao dai
只是感覺已經不在
zhi shi gan jue yi jing bu zai
而我對你的期待　
er wo dui ni de qi dai
被你一次次摔壞　
bei ni yi ci ci shuai huai
已經碎成太多塊　
yi jing sui cheng tai duo kuai
要怎麼拼湊跟重來
yao zen me ping cou gen chong lai

Repeat Chorus 2x





Translation:

Rewind

Lyrics: Vincent Fang
Music: Jay Chou

Verse 1:
I’ve had enough waiting for your so-called arrangement
The future that you spoke of, just how long will it take
Always have to wait till it’s too late to realize that I’m lovable
I want to depend on you, but you’re not there

The places that are supposed to be happy
All that you gave was nothing
Staring off into space by myself on holidays
Can’t find someone to accompany me to watch the sea
I’m standing outside the door of happiness
But haven’t been able to enter inside
The pain that you have cumulatively inflicted
It’s really hard for me to be released from it
　
Chorus:
I finally realized that love cannot return
And you are always understanding too late
Only in the end do you speak your mind
Crying and begging me to stay
I finally realized that love cannot return
There are too many obstacles in front of us
But your hand cannot let go
You’d rather be shameless, begging me not to leave

Verse 2:
You always want me to be obedient, slowly planning the future
But my tears were constantly streaming down
In the past how have you displayed the trust that you were supposed to give
I’ve been slowly pushed off a cliff directly by you

From the paleness of my face
Can see the memories slowing down
The sweetness of the past is rewinding
But the feelings are already not present
And the hopes that I have placed in you
Have been shattered by you time and again
It’s already broken into too many pieces
How can they be put back together and resumed again

Repeat Chorus 2x

RadBoi: Jay had mentioned before he has learned how to write songs for other singers without it being so Jay-ish. Yea, so maybe this explains why it doesnt really sounds Jay-made. But isnt it better this way?! Jay is developing his style agains!

Btw, i love the lyrics. Vincent is good man! He can write the many different phrases based on the same meaning. Wow This song is not bad. Kinda metallic though. Remind me of Simple Plan. Lols. Is this considered rock?

[Kiosk]

I agree w/ Knock dat Jay's developin his style...cuz he started to add some metal/rock elementz in his songz (since YHM album) but it comez out really great! I think itz not considered rock tho...'just a mix & match of different style of music! and Vincent's lyrics...they're just amazin too! 'just take a look at the structure of the lyrics...not only it rhymes & suitz da melody but da msg is clear & powerful too! datz y I really like this song!

[dazzlette]

Yeah I love the lyrics too! Vincent writes it so brillantly. Somehow he manages to end every line with words with a 'ai' sound. I notice that he does it for a lot of his songs. This rhyming effect gives the lyrics a beautiful flow. The amazing thing is that he can still keep within a theme. Only someone very skilled in a language can do that.

[Pugwash]

This has to be my current favourite song at the moment!

Reading the lyrics really made me like this song.. I felt that the lyrics are so beautiful.. Vincent Fang does such a great job and the beat is great that Jay created. Vincent uses a lot of imagery, I love that. Pieces (Love), shattering that it can't be put back.. so brilliant!

I must say, I like Jolin's vocal a lot. I can actually sing to it!! Not that complicated for the mandarin illiterates of the board. I swear I woke up and started singing. ehehe

[Shanhaigirl]

thanx for lyrics, Lisa!
this is my fave song from Jolin's new album!
i don't know why you guys say it doesn't sound like Jay, i think it does sound Jayish. in some parts i forget that Jolin sings it and expect to hear Jay

[shiroyume]

dao dai is a nice song.. eheh cos jay composed it!=P
jay and the guy that writes the lyrics*feels asshamed for not knowing his name* are a really good um..
how do u say it.. um. musical duo?o.O;; bleh i dont noe! but they both did a realli good job on this song .. i like it=) evn tho jolin sings it..=P

[Jam]

Thanks Lisa for translating the lyrics! I have been looking all over for the lyrics for this song. I'm a big fan of Fang Wen Shan's lyrics, always so beautiful and meaningful. He's lyrics together with Jay's composition for the music.. one word for it, Perfect!
But erm... frankly speaking, if this song is sang by Sun Yan Zi.. it will be more perfect. I'm not critising Jolin's vocal.. but just feel that Sun Yan Zi might do a better job.
Very nice song.. hope it will be up on the music top chart.

[aeisalak]

I love this song very much, it's so Jayish style!

p.s. actually it will be better if it wud be Jay to sing this song.

[supawan]

thanx for lyrics, Lisa I love the lyrics too!
dao dai is a nice song :)
