Jay Chou - In The Name Of The Father (以父之名)

[95shanthi]

I prefer his old songs like this one.

[dotaboy888]

OMG LAST TIME I HEARD THIS WAS IN 2003 I GET A STRANGE FEELING WHEN I LISTEN TO THIS..

[alix682]

Bwahahaha!!! Taiwanese or Chinese, Jay Chou is Jay Chou. When you get this type of talent, nationality doesn't define them anymore. You can see it in his work or particulary this video. He's singing in Chinese but that's definitely some Sicilian town out of the godfather scene. And did he just made the sign of the cross? I rest my case.

[return12311]

excellent

[ZhouThien]

awesome~!!!!

[Foxspecial1989]

@dergrex2008.

yup, taiwan ppl dun want to be called as mainland chinese, because in english there is no different , everyone who speak mandarin or Cantonese will be consider chinese, no matter where u came from, so i use the word chinese as 华人, this will solve the problem, no matter you come from china or taiwan or hongkong, u cant deny u are 华人

[falisa99]

爱是不是，谁稀罕。中国人不缺这一个两个 

[Foxspecial1989]

@kfsify

中国人= mainland chinese

台湾人= taiwan chinese

华人 = chinese

Get it?

[derGrex2008]

@Foxspecial1989

good to know... i only knew the first one :D

i heard that taiwanese get kinda angry being called mainland chinese, or other way round don´t know exactly

[musiclvr348]

Jay IS a genius.

永遠忘不了第一次聽這首歌時感到的震撼。

[yyk900820]

[allen365apple]

這首是經典啊!!

[mysticalhero17]

What a badass :D

[Rinchan181]

I haven't seen the Godfather but i have played gta liberty city, so i thought of that while the song was playing, however can someone answer this question? The son's name is " in the name of the father", which father is he talking about, that catholic one, his, or both? I think both because there is some justice, but mostly revenge in this

[fennecfox8291]

so hot!

[chanyadevil]

nice man!

[xdoraemonx8x]

Anyone know whats the song started in 3:37~3:59 ? if anyone know kindly reply my msg ok =)

[volalazialita]

@xdoraemonx8x Some girl pray in italian. The words are extracted from Bible. Not really a song. The exteacted part as: "Ave Maria grazia ricevuta per la mia famiglia Con risentito con un'amorevole divino a men Grazie chiedo a te o signore divino in questo giorno di grazia prego per te Ave Maria piena di grazia il signore e con te .sia fatta la tua volonta cosi in cielo e cosi in terra neil nome del padre del figliolo e dello spirito santo a men "

[k691991]

WANTED !! Jay Chou

[tenglee2]

WOAH?

Jay chou speaks FRENCH!!!

=D

[Teemeah]

@tenglee2 Italian...

[haku4547]

The chinese mafia.. I like it :)

[Atu7x]

I thought chinese musics are not really good. but this music definitely has changed my mind.

[coralsea725]

This is THE one music video where Jay appears this mysterious and badass. I love love LOVE this song and this MV! Seriously, he's such a BAMF here. Who else can be a Chinese mafia member with such style and flair?

[The89candy]

can anyone tell me wat's the meaning of the words that jay chou said in the beginning of the music??

[brownricemilk]

@The89candy U mean the words he said in latin? It's part of a prayer

我们在天上的父 Our Father in Heaven

国度荣誉权利都属你的 Land, honor & power belongs to You

直到永远 Til eternity

阿门 Amen

That's all, then it's followed by another "Ave Maria, ..... me famille" which I'm guessing is prayers for family? Hehe... Only the first part spoken in latin sounds like Jay, but after that sounds like some other guy...

[renkaoru]

how awesome is he !

really love his songs !

He's cool ^^b

[raythecoolest]

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

[LIKEtubeSO]

god father

[malouperez2386]

[monkeynailz]

[roomwithoutdoor]

[Demononini]

Mafia Triad (Y)

[iscr34m]

can someone translate to me what the chorus means? i really like this song from way back. xD until now i still don't understand the song. haha. forgive me, i am not chinese.

[hoarmoon]

擋在前面的人都有罪　後悔也無路可退

以父之名判決　那感覺沒有適合字彙

就像邊笑邊掉淚　凝視著完全的黑

阻擋悲劇蔓延的悲劇會讓我沈醉

Here is the a part of lyrics in Chinese.

I Will try to translate it for you.

But I don't have time now.

Sorry, you need to wait.

If you feel wait too long and than please notice me. ^^

I have try to use google trans , but the means all in wrong.

[hansey0118]

@iscr34m In the Name of the Father the chilly morning dew moistens his cassock a fog casts over the slate path it is Father murmuring self-consciousness comprehending in despair severer cruelty being the sole option for all is for needing to go to heaven the lingering mist guises over motives who is gently strolling halt before time permits for weeping the penetrating bullet takes away the body's warmth

[hansey0118]

everyone is guilty for the differents sins we've committed I can decipher who is right and who should sink into slumber disputes cannot resolve in this never ending night seal your babbling lips for my sole gratefulness everyone ahead is guilty even remorse means dead end decreeing in the name of the Father the sensation is inexplicable just like tears which accompany a smile peering into pitch blackness the sorrow which hinders the spread of tragedy mesmerises my senses

[hansey0118]

beckoning with a kiss on my left hand in exchange for a pledge of forgiveness antiquated pipe organ in the corner sounds perpetually black drapery wavers in the wind the sun's rays penetrates silently flooding over tamed flock of beasts soundlessly shouting silently roaring solitude begins to morph into character as it sneers at my very being memories gradually spreading visions that were once innocent gentleness of cruelty emerges the time has come we take our prayers in unison

[hansey0118]

merciful Father, I've fallen into a country where nobody is aware of sin please pardon my conceit no one understands no one can express solitude consealed by honour shutting my eyes, the vision reappears of a dream years back under a misty sky Father took my hand as we sauntered along that silent slate path of early morning

[hansey0118]

@iscr34m it's so long, and I'm not good at translation. so I just found a version to you on the chiese search engine. the original translator is 江城游子， hope it will be helpful. the lyrics are really nice! I like it so much

[999pizzapizza]

imagine this man! chinese italians!!!

[SwineBoss]

His earlier songs are so mysteriously addicting!

[whatsaginny]

@SwineBoss totally agree!

[PilipalaOwO]

@SwineBoss thats wat all the taiwanese wanted for jay chou to come back to TT~TT "the mysteriously sexy and addicting" (just has to add the sexy :P)

[buleiqi]

[ryobayd]

[charlieshawjohnston]

[williamxiang]

lolx he is nt from hong kong bt taiwan haha..

[gwendelyn96]

christian rocks!!!

[KenMcGormick]

yea... lol italian... people dun speak latin nowadays... the use of italian further enhances the mafia feeling this song is trying to bring

[bellevanessa]

I want to know abt him more. He is the first Hong Kong singer who I know. So good!!

[danglelingmodifier]

ummm he is not a hong kong singer....i think....more like taiwanese singer......

[2229286]

@danglelingmodifier it's not like it's he is aiwanese.

[f962509]

he's a taiwanese singer

[plutoncannon]

not hong kong... lol, he's Taiwanese

[4yumikid]

I love the use of Latin in this! lol

[shuoli85]

The song talks about taking revenge into your own hands. It has very subtle hints of Christian themes, especially when people thinks that they are doing something for God, hence the title - In the Name of the Father. The beginning is the Lord's Prayer in Latin.

[Bellatheadore]

1:10

[spoonechka]

I love this song but am not sure what it's about,

can somebody summarize it for me?

[IwasLostonce]

that's like saying "don't listen to american songs if ur chinese". dude. it's so alrite to watch songs in other languages than your own.

[G2IntegraDA]

Don't trip about that, I'm Chinese but Cantonese so I don't know what he is saying either.. but it's still good music! I'll be waiting for a summary too.. haha

[zhangsc1982]

I speak mandarin, but still can not understand what he sing without lyric.

haha, I think we should not focus too much about the lyric, just enjoy the music.

[cuierdan]

d man's witnessed his father being killed when he was a boy. he grew up, but descended into d illegal world. he's always think of his innocent life before, but cannot pulled himself out of the illegal life now. he's singing:'i've descended to invisible illegal country...'

[mm452045]

the song is basically about he feels sorry for his father because he chose to do something that his father doesnt expect him to do! but there is no way for him to get back

[jasonyanjinyu]

好歌

[galecore]

nice song jay keep always doing illegal ^^.......

[galecore]

nice song jay keep always doing illegal ^^.....

[macaochi]

cool

[hphsiang]

As like Aryans (Germans), they have great and beautiful culture/music influences all over the world because they want to influence the world step by step not like what Nazi did before. We, Taiwanese, should have confidence to influence all Chinese (China/HK/Singapore...) through our strong culture/music/freedom.....

[CeeKarl]

video clip is perfect n so nice

[lordola]

Den är så sjukt bra!

[simomoyu]

為什麼每次每次都要牽上中台關係啊

別把旋律也沾上政治味道或國民意識

好好聽歌吧各位大哥大姊

[123ilikeme]

I love the music and the video's pretty hilarious: Chinese gangsters in Italy. Wow.

[peppinocappelli]

very beautiful song great atmosphere and a really beutiful girl called to play in this video;she should be called to make something more interesting as actress.

[geohansky]

ya mafia culture rock on!!!!

[Yolande0]

[geohansky]

hey, you should scroll up the comment to five or six months ago, there was a heated debate on whether taiwanese is chinese or not....i think you'll "love jay 4ever!!~~~ " again....just go check it out!!!!

[ensha36]

mafia...y que, la cancion es buena

[qiyishan]

中国的内地的思想被什么束缚住了么``` 为什么很难出个真正意义上的人才呢

[mikakostar]

[makeitlastforever]

[jondoe19896091]

[leonlewsley]

[Snoopee9]

[radanka2311]

E bravo Jay Chou che prega in italiano! :) Bellissima la canzone comunque.

[Sn3akyT]

[hanabisora09]

[AznMed]

[jwzhu]

pointless insults don't change anything...

calm down people, there's already enough hatred in this world

[wenshisan]

cool...~~~

[zyzyamy]

Gosh, are all Singaporean stalkers?

no wonder you guys have such strict rules...

But it's sad...your famous red light district is for breeding grounds for gross people like you guys-WATTS7836, cobs1130..

[sinchiyap]

這位兄臺，何必動如此大火氣呢?

雖然我也不願意看到這樣的趨勢，不過現在全世界都是往大陸靠的阿­~

而且，沒必要刻意爭甚麼是真正的台灣人，中國人，大家都是華人嘛­。分不出台灣人與中國人也都是些老外，解釋一下就好了啊~在這裡­筆戰 真的有意義嗎?

[qiyishan]

我觉得大家都是中国人啊````当然不是地域上的中国(在将介石­那时才分的嘛). 只不过是党派和制度的区别``

其实台湾制度挺好的 不过还有很长的路 需要去修正 如果2边都愿意牺牲一点自己的利益来赢得双赢就好了 新年快乐`~~

[zyzyamy]

talking to yourself?

shows how "mainlander" supports really have psychological problems.

[cobs1130]

here we go again.....

[slaokia]

just stfu and enjoy his music.

[crainsi]

Taiwan is part of China, a Chinese general invaded Taiwan back in centries and he claimed independence once he conqured Taiwan. The the bully communist pushed NAtionalist to Taiwan. Democrats in Taiwan claimed independence still now.

If you ask a Taiwanes how they feel about Taiwan wants to be independent, they all have nothing to say about it, they dont really care.

[Zhou170]

this song and clip sucks in my opinion compare too his other songs, its just too western... a chinese musician trying too be not chinese

i also got enough of that wannabe rap/hiphop of his(not only him but also other chinese/taiwanese rap/hiphoper or whatever some are still nice tho like wu shuang, fearless and fa ru xue but most are just over the limit)

[emilysweety]

it's not that. it's because only the west fits this song's style.

if u could read Chinese...你很民族主义哎~

Jay is NOT a rapper wannabe, he IS a rapper. what the HELL are u saying...

[g46b7i2p]

YaY! You can use babelfish!

有与您的嘴的性

[OolittlepandagirloO]

I don't get the story! Is the theme revenge or something??

[expertmax1]

Nice song !

[o0oCOWBOYo0o]

good

[NarutoXHinataXForeve]

To me Taiwan is China O.o

i think they are the same

they were once the same and i think they still are

[7588]

well, you have to ask someone who still lives in Taiwan to confirm your doubts~ for me, a Taiwanese, they were once the same but presently different...as for the future I have no idea (shrug) ...

[7588]

sorry, I was replying to NarutoXHinataXForeve~something went wrong with the Youtube replying system~

[DiddlySquat]

It is China

[holydevis]

taiwanese were also once chinese... or mayb THEY ARE chinese

[roseabcde]

so cool of him

[viperlee6]

USA,you can't beat us!our chinese are the one!

[Aprillala]

definition of sexy

[andyc228]

he looks like my dad without his mastache in this video

[deadpuppies109]

i never got to be at his concerts while i lived in taiwan. his songs were so ridiculously overplayed there, but understandably so ;)

he's a very talented and humble guy for his fame, i love his music and he has my respect.

[misser2222]

王者之风

jay

无与伦比

[ninaxxoo]

he is smoky hott in this MV!!

love it!!

love him!!

[moboo456]

I am Taiwanese like Jay Chou~

台灣之光!

[terrenjj]

ye , i agree. How can you be a chinese, you are a piese of shit

[emilysweety]

ask Jay Chou himself if he's simply Taiwanese...

He loves his country, China, okay? Yeah, he is Taiwanese, but he's Chinese as WELL! Just like Cantonese people are Chinese too! You can't deny the truth.

Jay is a very patriotic person, and he's not a 台独分子，like u.

pitiful slut.

[MasonFreak]

Please go study some history...saying Taiwanese is Chinese is no different than saying we are all human beings...true but not much of a point.
