~JAY CHOU'S FARAWAY 千里之外~ ( WT TRANSLATED LYRIC )

[Baronight]

Fei Yu Ching totally stole the spotlight of this song. There is no way Jay chou could match Fei soothing voice

[iNs4nEd4nCeR]

i remember when this first came out :') still listening in 2011 <3

[TehWhimsicalWhale]

Fei Yu-Ching's voice defines this song.

[jany777MJ]

I need urgently the translation in english!!! arrrrrg XD is beautiful

[moxinghbian]

@jany777MJ Almost impossible, This is the perfect example of lost in translation, too Chinese-ish. for example, one of the chorus's literal translation: "The future that is so fragile as if the wings of cicadas, can't afford to be taken apart"

while the "as fragile as Cicadas wings" is a extremely well known proverb.

and "taken apart" or "desecration" has the same pronunciation as "guess" in Chinese, Thus implying the future is not only fragile and unpredictable either

[wangleeli]

so lyric does not matter . just enjoy the melody . as I enjoy the songs of Vitas.

[wangleeli]

i tried to translate:  roof is like cliff, wind bell is like ocean. i am waiting for the swallows return from south land......... then i realized the lyrics did not make any fuking sense even for chinese.

[akaysha1985]

@wangleeli your chinese is probably too poor for you to comprehend what the lyrics mean.

[wangleeli]

@akaysha1985 better than yours

[ExperimentalNeX]

@wangleeli Lol, it does make sense. The first line probably is just stating his feelings of waiting for someone to return back to him.

It may not relate to other lines but definitely, each line has their own meaning. It's just how you understand and interpret it like how the first line is just depicting his feelings of awaiting someone's returns.

[wangleeli]

@ExperimentalNeX OK I am the ignorant idiot , please explain the meaning of the lyrics. what's the story all about, who is the leading role. why the girl(or boy the song did not specify unless the traditional chinese letter) is 1000 miles away and why she cannot come back . you are right about the waiting thing , and it's the only thing everyone can get from the lyric. come on I like Jay's song .it's a awesome song. 歌词东扯西扯的，一会山崖，一会年代。什么玩意。歌词只不过是在­凑意境，而不是make sense，bitch

[wangleeli]

I love jay's songs but i still think everybody have the rights to dislike him or his songs.

[ctzn10]

I TOTALLY AGREE..why do people who dont like something feel the need to bash it on u tube?! LOL..IF you dont like it..DONT WATCH or LISTEN..SIMPLE!!

[RareJadeForest06]

Why doesn't Jay Chou direct idol dramas? Seriously, these MV's are so creative and good with such a powerful meaning. He needs to makes dramas!

[LobsterTrainer]

Yo when she comes back after 3 years, and he sees her and he hides away...I'm crying right now :(

[Orathai22]

I love it very beautifully done!

[jformony]

JUST GREAT, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM JAY........ ANYONE KNOW WHO THE TENOR IS .

[MyCoffeebeans]

@jformony The tenor is Fei Yu Ching, the Chinese/Taiwanese famous singer who is well known for his beautiful voice and "perfect" pronunciation, very different from Jay. The media was very skeptical when Jay asked Fei to duet with him, not just because their styles are different, there is also a "generation gap". (Fei is Jay's mom's idol. :0) Of course, our genius Jay again proved the media wrong and was able to "cross" over and captured the hearts of many Fei's fans.

[MrBobandme]

i love this song. They both sang it beautifully each with their own style.

[MistressSerenity]

hehe I lovee it, reminds me of traditional chinese songs ;)

[jenfaceful]

who is this singing with him?

[BreakingHit]

@jenfaceful Fei Yu Qing ... 

[cjzhang12]

wow such a beautiful song!

btw. who is the other guy singing? his voice is so good to hear. classic .! who is he ?=)

[MasterMeify]

It's basically about Jay Chou and this famous star falling in love. Jay is a low class. Jay don't want to be a burden to her, so he is trying to leave hoping she'll do better without him.

[Relusiten]

0: 56 Bow Bow Mr. Jay Chou; Shake the money maker :D !

[shappho]

I dont know what's mean in this song... but it sound so sad. Jay Chou is the best singer in Asia, every songs from him so brilliant!

[MilkyGalaxies]

I love the song so much!

But can any one explain me the story? I'm kinda confuse ^-^;;

[mylinh47]

@MilkyGalaxies Jay loves the girl.She loves him too. But she's a famous singer and he's so poor.The someday one guy came to ask her to go faraway and perform her songs, he gave her a ticket. She didn't want it but Jay begged her to take it. Jay wanted to bring her happinesss. So she gone. 3 years later, she came back and met Jay.But she didn't know it until she saw the ribbon which she gave to him after her performance.

[mylinh47]

@MilkyGalaxies After she realized that was Jay, she chased him. Jay knew that and hided cuz Jay wanted her to be happy without him.

Sorry,bad english, But I hope that u can understand.

[despondentblue]

费玉清应该唱菊花台，一定很好听 :)

[bertJS91]

nice song and nice mv^^

[SereneJazz]

Jay Chou you never fail to amaze me! It's hard to get bored with this MV, sigh

[raythecoolest]

plz check out my videos (piano + singing)...thanks~

[raythecoolest]

fffffffff

[gSd1996]

Wanna go to China...back to my home county. barely remember it since I was 4 

[mtrj2009]

Thanks so much for the video. I am going to China in October I hope. I have studied Chinese history, culture, and language for many years. Now is my change to visit and to pay respect to the Chinese people. I look forward to seeing beautiful China soon. So much to learn and love. Thanks for the posting.

[2000711]

@mtrj2009

Sorry, he's Taiwanese.

[putraln]

excellent duet n_n err jay chou most of your love story videos have sad endings =o anyways, very nice n_n

[FeiLanTang]

Beautiful.

[FlyingWolfWings]

kaydenkolldy, please do not be too self absorbed. If you don't like this song, don't listen. It's a simple solution, so please follow it. If you don't like Jay Chou, that is okay too; our goal is not to force you to adopt our thinking, but please do not write you poisonous words here. We will let you think your thoughts and opinions, so please respect ours.

[Tarrysaurus]

@FlyingWolfWings Are you a Christian? (Not that that's a bad thing d: I am)

[alexcfyung]

@FlyingWolfWings so basically we can't speak any words against Jay Chou or this song?

[FlyingWolfWings]

@alexcfyung No, just not here.

[RareJadeForest06]

@FlyingWolfWings Who would hate Jay Chou? I like your comment, good comeback.

[FlyingWolfWings]

KaydenKolldy， 请你别太自大。如果你不喜欢的话，请勿听。这么简单的方法，请跟­着它吧。你不喜欢周杰倫的声音的话，那也行；我们的目的不是有改­变你的想法，可是请不要把你这些带毒的话写在这里。我们让你想你­的想象，所以请尊重我们的。

[wandouble11]

you better be shut up kaydenkolldy,we(his fans)say that he is really have a beautiful voice,who are you to say he have a bad voice,you better never comment again if you think that his voice is not beautiful,you such an idiot.

[nbaplayerlebron]

well i guess you are just a inferior dog that  bark without any sense of manner

[nbaplayerlebron]

fei yu ching not jay chou you idiot

[strawberry37]

upload a video of you singing

[laketica]

well, i guess you need to tell the diff b/w the two singers cuz one is mumbling and one isn't. but if you don't like it, you just don't. *shrugs*

[laketica]

it's fei yu ching... he's awesome. beautiful voice. i used to listen to him like... 10 years ago. =)

[MaplexJackie]

:) i wana be manto now

[davinlam]

sad story (kinda)

[clifferd2001]

this isn't jaychou.

definitely not his voice.

[clifferd2001]

oh ok its a duet. sorry i just started listening, didn't listen to the entire thing.

[kentan2202]

all the girls in jay chou videos are pretty

[kaolee88]

@kentan2202 They are also the same girls...this one in Fa Ru Xue too

[FlyingWolfWings]

看来大家都在打架. 拜托, 求你们了, 别说中国和对方坏话了! 很让人心不安的. Neil333354, 你到底有没有去过中国? 呢里没有那些电影和电视说的呢么坏. 像美国一样, 有好处和坏处. 请看两边, 然后再做您的最顶.

[QQhakku]

like this girl.she also at fa ru xue mv if im not mistaken.

[spiderdi]

i think she's also in the 青花瓷 music video

[RainProduction]

beautiful song <3

[Da3Answer]

Propiedad intelectual? venga ya, si quieren que se respete la "propiedad intelectual", entre comillas porque todavía no sé qué cojones es, que pongan precios que la gente puedan permitirse y luego que el dinero realmente llegue al autor, porque los putos intermediarios se llevan una tajada indecente y por último, baj, que los putos "artistas" salgan a hacer conciertos y se ganen la vida como tiene que ser, trabajando y no sentados en el sillon de su masión.

[keshiachante8426]

okay guys, you know what, let's just agree that this is agood song, kk? i mean we could all fight about song copyrights but it's not like we're actually doing anything productive about it, eh?

Jay Chou is awesome, this is an awesome song. End of story.

xoxo

♥

[toulink]

she looks cute

[useazebra]

Dude, he's Chinese. China has no respect for intellectual property. While I was there last summer, my Chinese roommates played a Mandarin version of "Numa Numa." Exact same music. My roommates SWORE it was originally a Chinese song...forget the fact that they're singing in french.

[keshiachante8426]

yaa, this chinese singer took the a song by Destiny's Child from their Survivor album, I think it's Brown Eyes. even the lyrics means the same thing if you translate them to englihs. I was so mad.

[jerikookoo]

Stupid! Those are totally different songs!

Obviously, you dont know neither music nor Chinese!

[keshiachante8426]

stupid shut up! lol i know chinese and english, sorry to burst whatever bubble you're living in.

I still love Jay Chou, and i know music, more than whatever you know probably....see, people with different intellectual levels react differently to irrational people like you.

n_n

love you! ♥

[keshiachante8426]

and you don't know english, lol.

we know that Google is invented for the delicated minded, and you gotta love Google translator...if you get my drift.

;)

♥

[jerikookoo]

The song writer of "Numa Numa",Dan Balan, has been paid. That's why his name appears in Chinese version music video "不怕不怕".

Are you saying that Chinese don't respect for intellectual property by paying the song writer copyright fees??!!! Or ... are you too stupid to find out that you roommate misunderstood the song as an "Original Chinese song" just because he never heard the french version and watched the MV?

[useazebra]

Keep your shirt on, bro. It's not really even a matter of opinion. Pretty much everyone internationally recognizes that China, as a country, doesn't respect copyrights. You have to know someone in the government to get it enforced. Classic example: 100 different fake versions of Harry Potter being sold on the street. Walk down any city street at night and you'll find kids selling pirated DVD's from the back of their bikes.

China doesn't consider copyright to be an important issue right now.

[pemachoky]

in which sense? the songs sound rather different to me.... you mean in the lyrics?

[Neil333354]

PHAIL!!!

It's not even Jay Chou who sings it. It's sung by a chinese artist called Zheng Jun who already said that he is singing a translated version of Coldplay's Yellow.

[yuyu1234yu]

wtf are you taking about? are you blind or deaf? its a frikin duet. the one singing is jay chou AND zheng jun.

[Neil333354]

wtf are YOU talking about? I am replying to smilynoodle about what he said. (He has deleted his comment now). I'm talking about the chinese version of Coldplay's song 'Yellow' which smilynoodle stated Jay Chou stealing.

[Neil333354]

My mistake not smilynoodle but Muuzip99. I apologise to smilynoodle :D

[redfox04]

oh, it's a duet! hehe.. thx a lot... is Zheng Jun a vv old singer? cuz i've neva heard of him before, altho his voice is vv powerful...

[lshs11]

jay chou, love him!  jay, david tao and lee hom are my fav chinese artistes. they compose/incorporate traditional chinese instrument into their songs. beautiful and refreshing!

[philipyiphk]

The song is so romantic. It is sad to say that Jay feels that he cannot match with the girl's status, even if they are in love. This is what is reality over love... Jay always has some good idea and great lessons about love and reality... How artistic! Matched up with Fei Yuqing, the song will be so Chinese-feel... I am speechless to talk anymore.

[anselchia]

love the mv & nice combo!

[iChoppySticks]

這使我的笑容

[thepz22]

jay chow i love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[XxGinoDxX]

fei ying qing is the original singer and hes sing so well!!!!!! my father and mother loves him!

[redstonest]

An odd mix, but very nice.

[aeomasaki]

沉默年代,或許不該, 太遙遠的相愛...

好啱我今日嘅心情, 所以就一聽鐘情了...

[sean624214]

You're really a Genius!!JAY...I'll always be your fan..

[dragofox]

who is that girl's name. She is favorite actress in Jay Chou MTVs.

[dragofox]

finally i found the girl's name 夏如芝

[michelleyuen]

i just realized how ridiculously stick figure she is...

[macaochi]

經典歌

[chevrox]

Lady and the Tramp

[mrhansome3]

the older singer its FEI YU CHING if i am not wrong.

[shingyang137]

who's the other singer? he's makes this song so beautiful! I keep listening and my husband keeps saying, "why do you keep listening to the same song?" hahaha

[miki6226]

Is that 费玉清? I saw that on the side link. :) And I agree. His voice caught my attention too. It's elegant and classic.

[BKKyan]

he's an old singer... He's really famous... especially among the older population in Taiwan

[sleepinglionheart24]

Jay chou has alot of MVs where he show sad love stories. In the end the couples always meet but never stay together for long...I can totally relate to it.

[syira21belle]

i love jay chou!!eventhough I don't know a word he sings(i'm not chinese) but I can feel the meaning is sweet.;)

[ciaolyre]

I am chinese and still doesn't understand a word he sings without looking at the lyrics XD

but still like him, he's a great compositor

[Komebackid510]

This song was great already to begin with, but the music video just made it even better!

[princessbobolol101]

i TOTALLY agree! :)

[jenny90linc]

awesome

[maxtarchris]

well i think this one's special:)

jay is the best as usual and the other guy's voice seem to match jay's extraordinary good music and voice as well:)

[cy515]

who is the girl?......

she very pretty o....

[nazirah017]

lovely song,,,jay chou is the best ever,,,,

[grandopening]

I really like this song,Its very refreshing from the usual pop songs.Whenever I listen to this song,I think of what a day in China would be like on a beautiful day.

Awesome.

[333501179]

好慘的故事跟擱淺一樣 他的mv都是這樣啊

[333501179]

周杰倫 就沒什麽 可是那個北京腔就怪怪

[reiko12]

我很喜歡方文山的歌詞，因為很中國風。

周杰倫的音樂和歌聲也帶著濃濃的中國味～

總之，兩人的組合太完美了！！

而且都反應著不同朝代的特色，譬如說千里之外就是清末民初，有外­國文化所以沒有像歌仔戲拉長音之類的，但依然有中國的柔美。他不­是一味地唱中國，而是完美地詮釋出那一個朝代的故事。

周董加油！我永遠支持你的中國風！！！

[princessbobolol101]

i no dis is random but ill say it anyways

i am in luv wit ma cuz who looks exactly lik jay chou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mintaloon]

both of them sing so damn well.

[hmongtauthi]

yo bro can u pm me the song lyrics, thanks alot.

[princessbobolol101]

y r u so emo?!?!?

[CullensAreForever]

they're not emo this one's just random and it's most likely part of the song

[doxide]

Jay Chou is one of the few Chinese artists I actually respect. He can play and compose his own songs but on top of that, he has total pride in his culture. Almost all of his songs use traditional Chinese instruments in the melody and he doesn't fill his lyrics with English just to be 'trendy'. He stays true to his roots and keeps it real.

[TearsForLosers]

I agree with you! He rules in Chinese music industry! His music is so unique.

[jdiddy666]

i completely agree. one "artist" i cant stand is coco lee. How many english words does she have to have in her songs?? I hate her with a passion. and she sucks.

[SuperMakeupstar]

@doxide i love him songs for all of those reasons and that his songs tell a story of some sort;)

[KinochiwaJoeru]

@doxide same feelin for me. he's truly one of the best.

[shenggieX]

ahh damn so sadd but i would do same thing too if i was jay

[princessbobolol101]

i LUUUVVV how jay chou's music videos always have a story to it

[dimasyang]

I guess the reason why the girl came back is because of him. be with her please!

[subscriberin]

why was he hiding from her?

[icyanjewl]

because she is famous now and he was still just a worker and he didnt want to affect her career

[SuperSailorBaconX]

I love how he likes to incorporate classic chinese sound into some of his songs. Very creative, i wish more artist would be more bold like jay.

[princessbobolol101]

i got 2 go 2 his world tour concert in mohegan sun and dis waz in it!! :)

LUV U JAY CHOU!!!!(:

[ouweebrandon92]

jay chou #1!

[kcam626]

fei yu ching is awesome.

[bboylightness]

faraway all the way

[LawrenceYLS]

i didn't like that old guy singing in it]

[arcticjungle6]

he wrote the song, dumbass.

[kirarox99]

i love his MVs there's always a story hehe

[r1dd3l3r]

omggg soo sadddd

but great songgg

[dbsksujuRULES]

this mv was sooo sad that i cried at the end!

[mclern007]

huhu~

so sad..

[ParadiseloveKiss]

aw so sad T-T

[pyongade]

OMG I ALMOST CRIED IN THE END!!!!!!!!

[lsc946]

USHER

[CherryRain14]

JAY CHOU'S SO CUTE!!! By the way, how do you pronounce his last name?

[ironphoenix04]

chow

[CherryRain14]

Ah, that's what I thought, but wasn't sure, really.

[Jiyuanyang]

Actually,his name is pronounced "zhou"

that's it,Jay chou is his English name ,

Zhou Jie Lun ,is his full Chinese name ,Zhou is the family name.

[iloveAZNboyz16]

wow i thought jay was the only one singing what with the older person

[cocacolafreezy]

what you mean by chinese girls are taste-less? what do chinese men have better taste then?

[ironphoenix04]

naw iBakamono is tasteless...i mean who puts "idiot" in their screen name O.o

[ccw2468]

haha... baka.

[mai920]

love this song!

[chensic]

无与伦比

[monkeychunkey224]

if you compare jay chou singing skills with the other singer in this song (fei yu qing) you will notice tht his singing skills are so much more better than jay chou

[narcass]

He's an opera singer, you can't really compare the two. Its like comparing Madonna to Pavarotti.

[imova]

Agreed

[shadowmist488]

well fei yu qing has been around for a while

and singing skills (lol) i don't think you can change it

but hey i totally agree about how fei yu qing's voice is awesome

[moxinghbian]

is it just me or the lyrics of this song is trans-dimensional at certain points?

Chinese is famous for its lavishness in wordings. Yet English excels at conveying powerful messages with simple words in a plain sentence.

I felt that I m listening to English lyrics in Chinese.

[lilaznkid415]

aw so sad at end

[cuicheng1993]

his lyrics are written by 方文山 for most of the songs, there's an article about him on one of the chinese magazines too

[2cute2B]

he writes most of the songs himself
