Translation in English: Verse 1 If I had never met you, I wonder what I would have been doing in life. I might have lived a ordinary life, loving someone ordinary. I will just leave myself to the flow of time, And be colored by your hues. Even this one life, I don’t mind throwing it away. So I beg you, let me stay by your side, As right now, I can love no one except you.
Translation in English: Verse 2 If you stop loving me one day, There won’t be another “tomorrow”. I don’t need any promises, But then I can’t live on memories alone. I will just leave myself to the flow of time, and snuggle right into your heart. Just be beautiful there and then, I won’t need my life any more. So I beg you, let me stay by your side, As right now, I can see nothing except you. repeat chorus #1
For those familiar with the Chinese version ("I Only Care About You"), it's amazing to see how the Chinese lyricist kept and even translated perfectly many of the original Japanese lyrics when writing the Chinese lyrics. Great job! Literal Japanese/Chinese translation below: 如果沒有和你相逢 我將會是在做些什麼 也許和一個平凡的人相愛 過著普普通通的日子 任時光匆匆從身邊飛逝 染上了你的色彩 只此一次的生命 為了愛捨棄也在所不惜 所以啊 我求求你 請你留在我的身邊 如今我只深深地愛著你 如果你開始對我厭倦的話 我將失去所有的明天 雖然不需要約定 可是我不能依靠回憶活下去 任時光匆匆從身邊飛逝 在你的胸前緊緊依偎 只要能保持美麗 生命已經不再重要 所以啊 我求求你 請你留在我的身邊 如今我的眼中只有一個你
when i listen to this song,i feel her emotions and i dont know why,tears just flow outta my eyes.she make me understand many things thorugh this song.
hi masami it been a long time since the last time i listen to this song... well still the same i love the voice of teresa teng... more power to you .....
She never forced herself to do too much theatrical stuffs (ie. dancing) like some of contemporary singers do. She always composed and paced herself extremely well on stage. Her simplicity was simply elegant. She made it deceptively simple when singing, as if everyone could have done it themselves. She was also stunningly beautiful. I would say every guys would have fallen in love with her :)
I do not have a bias in favour of Teresa TENG. Up to now, I really cannot find any present and past Chinese singer who is comparable to Teresa in terms of vocal quality, technique, rhythm, musical sense, emotion, presentation, physical appearance, etc.
@hkcitizen1 well, in terms of voice, I think Su Rui 蘇芮 is a good one too. Different style, perhaps not as popular as Teresa, but a really great singer - to my ears at least. 請試聽 蘇芮的塵緣
This is because Teresa had ALL the characters of an excellent singer we can imagine and she also had her own unique style. When we close our eyes to listen to her singing, we may feel as if Teresa was singing beside us or in front of us personally.
Hence, the songs of Teresa can always impress and touch people not only Chinese but also people around the world (e.g. Japanese, westerners and even people of Middle East). What I admire her most is that when she sang the songs of other singers, she could have her own style and even sang better than the original singers did. She seemed to be perfect in singing. Only Celine Dion is qualified enough to compare with her.
I love this song very much but I do not know Japanese. Although it has a Chinese version, the meaning of the Chinese version is different from the original Japanese version as revealed by the name of the song. Could you please translate this Japanese song into English or Chinese? Thanks a lot.
if I'm not mistaken this song was played from the movie entitled "Metade Fumaca" which stars Nicolas Tse, Shu Qi and Eric Tsang ( the fat guy, I'm not sure if it is him )
1st time. Don't know how I missed it. I mean, I watch this"toki no......" song in a variety of clips but just missed this one. Sumimasen deshita. Lovely TT's pictures just make me forget this melancholy song. I am flowing back in time with my beloved Teresa. Thanks.

There is a Chinese version but not English version, I think.
Roman letters of Japanese lyrics are written in More Info above if you can make the high part, 'Soba ni oitene'
If you got to like this song, try another one, 'Wakare no Yokan'.
