Been awhile since I've sung this song. (Yes, I sing along to Chinky songs sometimes. A pathetic handful, sure. But I do. And that's all that matters. It officially DE-classifies me as a 'banana'.) It's quite a sad song, actually. Sad, but so very beautifully written. Posted it once way back when I was still writing at The Old Tinki Talks. (Ahh, such fond memories I have of times past.) *click here to read post* Dug up these old lyrics and translations just cos it felt like a Chinese love song night... and I couldn't remember the full lyrics. -_-


p/s: Are these lyrics-pinyin-translations da bomb or are they da bomb? Huh? Huh?! I. Am. Great. *bows to reflection of self in mirror*
