    My thought is spreading just like the water of Tigris.

  • The subscript are made by myself, I'm a Chinese. It may have some grammatical mistakes. The proper nouns appear are take from Wikipedia. But I hope you all can understand. :)

  • 3:14-3:18 After many centuries, it has been discovered, 3:18-3:21 The words on the tablet is still clear to be seen. 3:23-3:25 The love that I gave you was wrote before the B.C. 3:26-3:29 buried deeply at the plain of Mesopotamia. 3:30-3:33 the eternity carved by the cuneiform script, 3:33-3:36 the vow which has been effloresced over thousand years, 3:36-3:37 everything will happen again. 3:37-3:42 Love is before the B.C. 3:44-3:49 Love is before the B.C.

  • 2:06-2:16 When the ancient civilizations are left only unreadable languages, 2:13-2:19 then the myths will become an immortal poem. 2:22-2:24 The love that I gave you was wrote before B.C. 2:25-2:28 Buried deeply at the plain of Mesopotamia. 2:30-2:32 After many centuries, it has been discovered, 2:33-2:35 The words on the tablet is still clear to be seen. 2:38-2:39 The love that I gave you was wrote before the B.C.

  • To all who miss the old Jay :) I miss him too but he is already 32 years old. You can't expect him to wear baseball caps...if he does, he'll be an old freak.

  • this song is from him 2001 album "fantasy"!

  • Youtube 是外國人唯一可以認識周杰倫的管道,

    為什麼周杰倫的音樂公司不上傳高清完整版的 MV ?

    品質這麼差的MV只會破壞外國人對周杰倫的印象。

  • @x8fhg5g64jgf54g65fjr 應該還不至於叫做:"破壞"對周杰倫的印象吧 XDD 頂多就覺得有些模糊而已 哈哈,而且這些影片上傳的時間都很早(起碼不像現在各大唱片公司­都有專屬帳號上傳MV)而且Jay從出道以來每張專輯、電影主題­曲等幾乎都有拍MV算算該有100首左右,要重新整理也很麻煩地­(更不要說點擊率要重新歸零)。另外,Jay的 JVR現在的確有專屬的utube帳號~最後,Jay有換過公司­(從Sony到JVR),所以不太確定MV版權的問題有沒有解決­降。希望有解答到你的問題。 XD 建議如果真的很care這件事,可以直接寄信給JVR或打電話給­公司~

  • @raisinlaw

    回得很好~我也是差不多這樣想的

  • @Shuuijii yes the name is exactly what you said, "Love before the Century" love before what ever else they call it.

    @Cut3PandaX agreed!!

  • Jay Chou! Good song!

  • I think this is really cool. And the girl's pretty. 

  • Isn't there another title to this song?

    ' Love before BC' or something like that?

  • cool!!!

  • so nice...

  • Love  <3

  • yeah, he's reminiscing the culture of ancient Mesopotamian, about the romance he felt when he looked through the pages of the old history book, like there's a deep love written in it.

  • Jay in simple T-shirt and jeans...no bling, bling, bling...

    Even I still love you, I missed that pure singer.....

  • @MyCoffeebeans I know. I totally miss the innocent baseball cap Jay.

  • @MyCoffeebeans they all start out like that, then the money comes rolling in and they suddenly forget who they were before all that. but he's still an awesome singer

  • @mrsimtaebin - I don't think your comment is fair. :) When he wrote this song, he was very young - in his early 20s. I personally have listened to his music since 2000 - I prefer his old songs too - but I don't expect him to remain the same for 10 years. He is already 32; I won't accept him if he continues wearing baseball caps and hoodies. Of course he has to grow up. The 'essence' of his music is still the same. :)

  • @jeannonin what's your comment in regards? i never said anything about his music, simply that his style of clothing has changed. he's still an awesome singer, no doubt. and i know music changes with time, age and pace.

    he's still an awesome singer, no doubt, fo sho :)

  • @MyCoffeebeans Me too. ): But ohwell. He's still cool now :D :D :D

  • i heard this song on LAST FM its epic

  • Why are people arguing over a music video. Shut up and listen to it.

  • old song, but really beautiful nice song <3

    if he get a chinese girl for this mv, it would even be better...

  • @ELMOOx33

    sorry to break it to you, but that wouldn't have worked. Because in his song, he is referring to the Mesopotamian civilization that existed thousands of years ago in today's area of Turkey. So this music video doesn't have anything to do with Chinese girls.

  • wow yall niggas need to stfu. arguing about human geography on a jay chou video LOL fucking fruity faggots. also no he should not have used a chinese girl. white girl is the best.

  • beautiful song, Jay, PLEASE come to New Zealand for your next world tour

  • For some reason this reminds me of Daughter of the Nile(manga) :D This song is really good~ xD

  • Look chinese is a generlised way of categorising all of the dialects it contains. I would also like to see people actually differentiating manderine and cantonese and etc, and not just refering to all of us as chinese!

  • love jay forever

  • beautifully written...

  • @chillwork mandarin is not called chinese thats what we are called as our race like you said youre chinese friends call it mandarin chinese not just "Chinese" that doesnt make sense if we said oh they speak chinese what or which lanugage would that be. This is the defintion of chinese for ya.

    Chi·nese (ch-nz, -ns)

    adj.

    Of or relating to China or its peoples, languages, or cultures.

    Proved my point for ya

  • jay chou rox

  • wish i can speak chinese

  • @NgonHua

    the writing is hard to learn but the oral part is easy. ))

  • please say Mandarin, i hate it when people say they want to learn how to speak chinese.

  • Whats wrong with saying Chinese? Mandarin is a form of Chinese. I have Chinese friends and they call Mandarin Chinese all the time. Get off your high horse.

  • People don't say I want to learn Indian

    And just say Mandarin please.

  • Well, there is no such thing as Indian when it comes to languages. It's either hindi, punjabi etc etc. But Mandarin IS also called Chinese.

  • wow after 3 years i finally found this song hehehe thx so much for posting ^^

  • 3 years? D:

  • I think its a good video very unique somtimes its good to go outside the bounderies

  • watch jay chou ben cao gang mu - random white girl prostitute in the middle of ghetto china lmao, its kinda funny for some reason.

  • i dont,if he used a chinese girl it wouldve been cuter,

  • im white and i cant help but agree with you. :P

  • @Cuti3PandaX whatever! It would have looked weird amid all the ancient writings and what not which are visibly not Chinese. A Middle Eastern girl would have been ideal but of course not many are willing to appear in these kinds of videos. Besides, he uses Chinese girls in all his other videos, it's not bad to mix it up now and then.

  • Wow, someone's racist.

  • Comment removed

  • You are being racist, you are stating that the video would have somehow have been better if the girl was Chinese, you can shut up. That wouldn't even make sense, is he in China? No, your just one of those people who will only accept couples who are of the same race. Why? Is it so that you can imagine that your that girl? ROFL, I couldn't care any less what other people are doing, I'm saying that YOU ARE BEING RACIST. Get over it and stop being such a child.

  • Comment removed

  • I said that you are being racist, based 100% on the fact that you seem to think that the video would be better if the ethnicity of the girl was different, regardless of the fact that such a change would make no sense what so ever. So yes hun, you ARE racist, and it's annoying, so you can go right ahead and shut up there sweet heart, and keep your retarded generalizations to yourself if you don't want people to call you on them.

  • Comment removed

  • @Cuti3PandaX

    Maybe....It's because of the story from this lyric is talking about The Mesopotamia, B.C, an Asian might not fit in the story background. It's just my understanding. ^^

  • @Cuti3PandaX it wouldnt make sense >< thn..

  • yea i'm chinese too.....brothas hatin on another brotha :'(

  • well you are being very ignorant and foolish

  • oh, we're racist?  look who's talking.

  • CAN i ask is this YOUNG jay chou? and the GIRL is so beautiful BUT most important is THIS SONG IS SOOO NICE

  • well.. lets look at it.. this video was posted in 2006...should I continue or.. is that enough to make it obvious..? k

  • I love this song!! its my favourite song...

    hahah and its about ancient iraq tooo and im iraqian!

  • ya it is, but dun understand what is it about. but dun u think is a nice song?

  • Comment removed

  • Whats this song in chinese characters?

  • 爱在西元前

    i think.

  • Thanks.

  • i LOVE this song like crazy!!

  • For you all! Asian People all orginated from china! So stuff you all!!! LoL LiL_YeUnG

  • Yeah, that's not true there bra, India, and Russia are both a part of Asia, never mind the fact that the fossil records imply that everyone is from Africa, not Asia, and especially not China, would've been too cold for people to survive.

  • this pastreee878 person sounds really rude

  • ummm....i just wanted to say something...i can hardly hear the words jay is saying in this song...'+.+

  • It's like: I am from Hong Kong, So I am a 'Hong Kongér' and not a Chinese? Don't let me laugh, Jay is from Taiwan, it's a part of China, he's chinese.

  • your cantonese.. Im Taiwanese from Taiwan. Its called having pride for your country.

  • oh really

    are u taiwanese aboriginal?

    think before answering me

  • in fact i am

  • i was replying to the other person not u

    if u are then YOU are not a chinese by genetics, jay chou is. dont impose ur lie that he isnt on other people

  • hong kong always belong to china. the chinese emperor gave hong kong away to the British because they lost the opium war. taiwan wasn't always inhabited by fugly chinese bitches

  • by your logic, citizens in the united states with european descendants should be called europeans and not Americans. Even though Taiwanese people have chinese descendents we are Taiwanese because we love our country!

  • pure classic!

  • Beautiful lyrics! Beautiful melody! Beautiful song!

  • LOVE THIS SONG!!!!~

  • the video remind me of JJ Lin´s "Mummy"

  • the room reminds me of the 5th element

  • Excellent lyrics!!

  • he shocks me everytime i hear him :D

  • why is this girl white?

  • ...does it make a difference? xD

  • I agree, Jay Chow deserves better! a CHINESE GIRL,they are the best!

  • An Asian girl would not fit the lyrics of this song....this song is describing an ancient Mesopotamian romance

  • and who are you to judge?

  • My nan is butt ugly and she's chinese......though i didn't really make a point? WHAT?

  • Lol guy u can shut the fuck up. i bet ur an butt ugly racist piece of shit too. if Chinese peoples so ugly and u dont wanna see us then u shud go find a closet to hide in. why? CAUSE WERE FUCKING EVERYWHERE. and why the hell u watching an chinese mv?? Queer.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • it's not chinese you ass. it's a Taiwanese mv. Jay sings in mandarin, but that doesn't mean he's chinese. the Beatles sing in English, so are they American? No, they're English.

  • Taiwanese IS Chinese. ...

  • youre fucking retarded

  • It is, face it. Taiwan is a part of China. Be carefull what you're saying, sitting at PC screaming loud offensive language to people, you're the one who's retarden, K thnx for reading , R-E-T-A-R-D

  • yeah of course i'm "retarden". really? then every asian person is chinese. every asian person came from mainland china. japanese people didnt just evolve on an archipelago, they came from china. koreans came from china, mongolians came from china. what don't you get?

  • Taiwan=democracy; voted president

    China=communist; dictator

    Taiwan is obviously not a part of china. Go do some more reading FTW

  • God, it's like 1 month ago that I posted something about this video, why are u continued with your rubbist comments and answers? Go listen to the music instead commenting about politicus

  • you started it. just been too busy lately to reply to ur post earlier. sorry i hit ur button lol

  • rofl

    truth anyway

  • how can taiwan ever survive without the support from mainland china?? taiwan may be accepted as a 'country' when the sun rises on the west.

  • China will always support Taiwan no matter what as long as Taiwan has the money. It all boils down to bussiness. Its like asking how can the world survive without Taiwan. Taiwan makes 60% of the worlds CPU's.

  • Not for long

  • Yes...and Taiwan people are more educated and civilized than communist China. So obviously we are DIFFERENT.

  • lol funny guy here

  • the beatles claim they are english because they are. are all americans english? no. they have less english than the australians. think. u sound really young.

    also did jay chou not claim he is a chinese. no he said from his own mouth he is one. who are u to judge?

    be open minded, dont shout out abuse in front of ur computer at ur own. it only reeks of inferior complex, lack of confidence, issues with identity that will be laughed and looked down upon yet im telling u this

    learn

    also

  • i never said the Beatles were american.

    youre weird

  • why am i weird?

    also u said that beatles still call themselves english or something not other ethnic and i said they are english. england has nothing to do with the usa. check english ppls stats there.

  • .....

  • I love his songs

  • it's such a good song:D loved it from the first time I heard it. I think the firs ttime I saw him was in Initial D, and I watched that movie maaany times:D

  • 醜女大翻身的主題曲`以前超愛聽這歌的`

    好懷念喔

  • the first song i heard frm Jay.....and damn!! it still sounds so good!

  • 0:42 yummy :D

  • This is nostalgic

  • 还是原来只做歌手的时候的作品好听,现在的专集没以前的好听。现­在的专集像是挤牙膏挤出来的。

  • Yeah :{ , As much as I like Jay I'd rather have quality music instead of a whole bunch of less polished movies and albums and stuff

  • i love his older videos they are so nice

  • i love this song

  • 輕快的旋律 很好聽
