A-Lin - Wo Men Dou Ji Mo (我們都寂寞)

Hello, world.

It's me again.

This post will be talking about A-Lin again, and this is also related to the show "我是歌手 (I Am A Singer)". Hope you're not bored, since my blog has many posts about her.

As people already knew, she joined the third season of 我是歌手 (I Am A Singer) in 2015, and performed one of her best hits on the first week she joined, which is 給我一個理由忘記 (Gei Wo Yi Ge Li You Wang Ji). She is already famous with the nickname 天生歌姬, meaning "A Born Diva", but is more famous after she participated in that show, even though she came in sixth place.

The fourth season, which started on January 15, 2016, has just finished on April 8, 2016, with Coco Lee (李玟) as the winner and Jeff Chang (張信哲) as the runner-up.
And last Friday, on April 15, 2016, A-Lin, with other singers from the third season, came back to join the other artists in the fourth season, to perform in that show. Since that time, the episode's theme is bringing the contestants from the third season to perform together with the singers from the 4th season (this year). This episode was aired live.

As usual, here are the lyrics.
I don't know if the translation of this song is available online or not, but here it is.
Sorry if the translations are not the best and if they have any mistakes since this is my own translation of this song, with a lot of help from one of my internet buddies, plus, since I am still learning in translating Mandarin.
Enjoy and thank you for reading!

原唱 (Original singer): 陳奕迅 (Eason Chan)

趕著下班的計程車　一嘯而過

Gǎnzhe xiàbān de jìchéngchē yī xiào érguò

The taxis after work during rush hour run, like tsunamis

下班後不想回家的我　誰要理我

Xiàbān hòu bùxiǎng huí jiā de wǒ shuí yào lǐ wǒ

I don’t want to go home after work, so who would want to talk to me?

很多年之前我問

Hěnduō nián zhīqián wǒ wèn

Many years ago, I asked,

朋友來陪我　有誰來愛我

Péngyǒu lái péi wǒ yǒu shuí lái ài wǒ

My friends who accompanied me, “Who’d want to love me?”

買醉的時候你認識我

Mǎizuì de shíhòu nǐ rènshí wǒ 

When we were drunk, you knew me

最後還一起生活

Zuìhòu hái yīqǐ shēnghuó

In the end, you chose to live (together) with me

為怕寂寞　我們做了很多

Wèi pà jìmò wǒmen zuòle hěndu

Being scared of being alone, we did many things

最沒空寂寞

Zuì méi kōng jìmò

So that we became too busy to be lonely

偶遇你之後我說

Ouyù nǐ zhīhòu wǒ shuō

After accidentally meeting you, I said,

想有人愛我　就有人愛我

Xiǎng yǒurén ài wǒ jiù yǒurén ài wǒ

“Whenever I want somebody to love me, there will be somebody to love me.”

可是我　不知道想要什麼

Kěshì wǒ bù zhīdào xiǎng yào shénme

But I, don’t know what I want,

不知道擁有什麼

Bù zhīdào yǒngyǒu shénme

Don’t know what I have,

可能我們都寂寞

Kěnéng wǒmen dōu jìmò

Maybe, we are lonely

迎面一個老尼姑走過　把路燈看破

Yíngmiàn yīgè lǎo nígū zǒuguò bǎ lùdēng kànpò

I saw the face of an old nun walk by, seeing her by the streetlight

有你在家裡苦等的我

Yǒu nǐ zài jiālǐ kǔ děng de wǒ

I have you waiting for me at home

難道比她幸福的多

Nándào bǐ tā xìngfú de duō

Could you say that I am happier than her?

現在不想下班的我

Xiànzài bùxiǎng xiàbān de wǒ

Now I don’t want to finish my work

沒愛好難過　有愛算什麼

Méi àihào nánguò yǒu ài suàn shénme

I’m sad when I don’t have love, but what love stands for when I have?

我恨我　我不知道想要什麼

Wǒ hèn wǒ wǒ bù zhīdào xiǎng yào shénme

I hate that I, I don’t know what I want,

我不知道擁有什麼

Wǒ bù zhīdào yǒngyǒu shénme

Don’t know what I have,

可能我們都寂寞

Kěnéng wǒmen dōu jìmò

Maybe, we are lonely

走過馬路的我說

Zǒuguò mǎlù de wǒ shuō

Walking along the street, I said,

一個人寂寞　兩個人寂寞

Yīgèrén jìmò liǎng gè rén jìmò

“With either one person or two people, they’re both lonely.”

可能我　我不知道擁有什麼

Kěnéng wǒ wǒ bù zhīdào yǒngyǒu shénme

Maybe I, I don’t know what I have,

而我又缺少什麼

Ér wǒ yòu quēshǎo shénme

But there is something missing inside me

我害怕什麼

Wǒ hàipà shénme

What am I afraid of?

怕什麼

Pà shénme

What am I afraid of?

我不知道愛算什麼

Wǒ bù zhīdào ài suàn shénme

I don’t know what love stands for

而我又算什麼

Ér wǒ yòu suàn shénme

But what do I count for?

我們都寂寞

Wǒmen dōu jìmò

We are lonely
