Hello, world.
Oh, and this is my first blog post in 2015! What a long time haha.
This time, I'll be posting about one of the greatest songs, which had lots and lots of covers.
This song is named 在心裡從此永遠有個你 (Zai Xin Li Cong Ci Yong Yuan You Ge Ni), which means "Forever in my heart, there’s only you" in English. If you listen to the song, you'll think that this song is really really familiar in our ears. That's right, because the melody is very very catchy. The version that we usually heard in public places is the version by 辦桌二人組 (Ban Zhuo Er Ren Zu). This version is played everywhere and probably is the most famous version of 在心裡從此永遠有個你 (Zai Xin Li Cong Ci Yong Yuan You Ge Ni).

為什麼我們相遇網絡

有緣份不一定能相守
Yǒuyuán fèn bù yīdìng néng xiāng shǒu
Having fate doesn't mean we can be together
兩相依不一定能白頭
Liǎng xiāngyī bù yīdìng néng báitóu
Depending on each other doesn't mean we’ll grow old together
錯過人錯過事 已經不需要理由
Cuòguò rén cuòguò shì yǐjīng bù xūyào lǐyóu
There’s no reason to be already missing someone or missing something,
等命運安排下次的邂逅

While waiting in this life to arrange for the next encounter
相愛人都常在夢裡頭

The more I care, the more my heart aches; I don’t want to wait bitterly,
如果有愛你就大聲說出口
Rúguǒ yǒu ài nǐ jiù dà shēng shuō chūkǒu
if loving you means I have to say it out loud
在我心裡有個你 雖然已不在一起
Zài wǒ xīnlǐ yǒu gè nǐ suīrán yǐ bùzài yīqǐ
You’re in my heart, although we’re not together again,
但是我很在乎你的消息

By the way, do you know why I discussed about this song, because this melody has many many versions. But do you know the original version? The original version is in Hokkien language, named 雨水我問你 (Ho Cui Wa Men Li), which means "Rain, I Ask You" in English. I also just discovered this original version as well!
蔡秋鳳 (Cai Qiu Feng) is the original singer of this song. In case you don't know who she is, she is most famous for her song "金包銀".

又擱是落雨的晚暝
It’s raining again tonight.
雨水潑袂熄滿腹酸苦味
The falling rainwater didn't put out the bitter sourness/grief.
想起著彼當時 倆人淋雨的滋味
I think of the times, the feeling when we are wet under the rain.
如今剩往事在稀微
Now, the past is full of sorrow.
藉著一杯酒想要醉乎死
Through a glass of wine, I want to get really drunk.
誰知傷心是愈來愈清醒
Who knows that my broken heart is slowly healing?
為感情來賭氣 可比遇著風颱天
For feelings to be angry, it’s like they must encounter stormy skies.
心痛就像雨水撥抹離
My heartache is like the never-ending rainfall.
啊......雨水我問你 我的感情算什麼
Ah… Rain, I ask you: What do my feelings count?
無彩愛你已經愛這多年
I loved you for so many years now.
啊......雨水我問你 誰人為愛賭生死
Ah… Rain, I ask you: who’ll gamble their lives for love?
你敢講我就陪你去
You’re willing to say for me to go with you.
阮淋著冷冷的雨水
I’m showered with the cold rain.
無奈你已經無惦阮身邊
I helplessly think of how you have not been my side.
不知你置叨位 甘有將阮放忘記
I don’t know where you are, and have you forgotten about me?
阮只有藉雨水來想你
Still, I only want to think of you in the rain
And...... there's another version of this song again. It's in Mandarin again, with the same song title, 雨水我問你 (Yu Shui Wo Wen Ni). The meaning is "Rain, I Ask You".

窗外又下著綿綿細雨
Chuāngwài yòu xiàzhe miánmián xì yǔ
Outside the window, there’s continuous drizzle again.
雨呀彷彿為我在哭泣
Yǔ ya fǎngfú wèi wǒ zài kūqì
The rain seems to be crying for me
想起往日你我 雨中漫步多甜蜜
Xiǎngqǐ wǎngrì nǐ wǒ yǔzhōng mànbù duō tiánmì
I think of the past, where you and I walked so sweetly in the rain
如今一個人在嘆息
Rújīn yīgèrén zài tànxí
Now, I sigh alone
苦酒一杯一杯喝下去
Kǔ jiǔ yībēi yībēi hē xiàqù
I drink the bitter wine, cup after cup
也不能把你從心中抹去
Yě bùnéng bǎ nǐ cóng xīnzhōng mǒ qù
I also cannot erase you from my heart
傷心淚滴呀滴 到底是淚還是雨
Shāngxīn lèi dī ya dī dàodǐ shì lèi háishì yǔ
My sad tears drip down; I wonder if it's really the tears or the rain.
忘記你實在不容易
Wàngjì nǐ shízài bù róngyì
It is not easy to forget you
啊......雨水我問你 愛的你呀在那裡
A...... Yǔshuǐ wǒ wèn nǐ ài de nǐ ya zài nàlǐ
