小手拉大手 (with lyrics translated to english) Ukulele Cover 梁静茹 (Fish Leong)

no fanciful video effects here (no time!) just plain imovie recording. there's even a pseudo blooper in the middle of the thing.
i tried translating some parts of the song into english verses but i couldn't do it for all because it felt very cheesy after a while.

here are the chinese lyrics
还记得那场音乐会的烟火, 还记得那个凉凉的深秋
还记得人潮把你推向了我, 游乐园拥挤的正是时候
一个夜晚坚持不睡的等候, 一起泡温泉奢侈的享受
有一次日记里愚蠢的困惑, 因为你的微笑幻化成风
你大大的勇敢保护着我, 我小小的关怀喋喋不休
感谢我们一起走了那么久, 又再一起回到凉凉深秋
给你我的手, 像温柔野兽, 把自由交给草原的辽阔
我们小手拉大手, 一起交游, 今天别想太多
你是我的梦, 像北方的风, 却正能帮我悠扬的哀愁
我们小手拉大手, 今天加油向昨天挥挥手,

And here are the selected not-so-literal-translation-lyrics:
Do you recall the fireworks at the show,
Do you recall the coldness of the snow.
Do you recall the crowds that pushed you so,
The playground we had fun so long ago
The dark night goes along without a wink,
The days in the hot spring we float and sing,
You know about my foolish woes and things,
Your smile catches my breath just like the wind.

I'll offer my hand, in quiet suspense
Please take it, bring me through the green grasslands.
Your great hand holding my small hand,
Together we'll spend, the day will never end.


i experimented with some imovie audio fx thing and somehow after that i couldnt undo it, leaving me with this 'thick' sound.

school starts in a few hours time. most tragic.

oh my goodness when I recognized the melody of this in the beginning with the recorder flute I got really excited. :D I've been trying to learn the Japanese version of this song! It sounds soo pretty in Chinese! <3

[messyhair]

i changed the chorus melody a bit because i would be screeching in the high parts!

hahaha do post a vid of you singing it in jap! :)

[twobeat6]

oh wow thats pretty good (i meant the translations) as well as ur playing/vocals, great stuff! :)

[messyhair]

i think chinese words punch in a whole lot more meaning into them, and they sound more poetic too :)
