只要有你 (zhǐ yào yǒu nǐ)

 

I came across this song in the Chinese series Young Justice Pao (Xiao Nian Bao Qing Tian).  The melody of the song was so sad but I guess I like sad music.  I then searched for the lyrics and found that it was so beautiful too.  Actually, I have heard this song many many years ago already but at that time it was translated to Vietnamese and was sung by two Chinese-Vietnamese singer.  However, up until a couple of years ago, I decided to search for this song and learn the meaning of its lyrics.

Chinese

誰能告訴我 有沒有這樣的筆

能畫出一雙雙 不流淚的眼睛

留得住世上 一蹤既逝的光陰

能讓所有美麗 從此也不再凋零

如果是這樣 我可以安慰自己

在沒有你的夜裏 能發出一線光明

留得住快樂 全部都送去給你

苦澀的味道 變了甜蜜

從此也不用分開相愛的天和地

還能在同一天空月亮太陽再相遇

生命中只要有你 什麽都變了可以

讓所有流星隨時都相遇

從此在人世上沒有無奈的分離

我不用睜著眼睛看你遠走的背影

沒有變壞的青春 沒有失落的愛情

所有承諾永恒得像星星
