Looking Forward to Your Love

2010 May 4 – 7:44 am | Categories: Songs| Leave a comment

Here’s an up-tempo, happy pop song from the singer of such classics as “In A Thousand Years” and “Back to Back Hug” (translations coming someday…maybe). I’ve actually seen Lín Jùnjié 林俊杰 perform live and he was great (assuming he was really singing what I was hearing).

Here’s my humble attempt at a translation (requires Adobe Reader):

Looking Forward to Your Love (681 hits)

For the MP3, click here (not my link). Or if that link is broken and you’re not afraid of hanzi, do a Baidu search.

In addition to the ever-popular slipping in of a few English words, this song follows the standard structure for Chinese pop songs:

Verse 1
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Pre Chorus
Chorus

This song also has the amazing Chinese “A to ∞” rhyme scheme for most of the song.

Enjoy!

Quick question:

A friend just pointed out that the line:

绕几个弯越靠近越明白
rào jǐ gè wān, yuè kàojìn yuè míngbai

Is actually sung:

绕几个弯靠越近越明白
rào jǐ gè wān, kào yuè jìn yuè míngbai

I guess the lyrics are wrong on baidu. My question is: are we hearing that correctly and should I change the lyrics on the translation sheet?

Hi Albert:

绕几个弯靠越近越明白
rào jǐ gè wān, kào yuè jìn yuè míngbai

It’s correct grammatically.
