This was another song that I heard and fell in love with when I went to China. It’s from a Taiwanese film, with the really weird title of You Are the Apple of My Eye. The Chinese title is much more interesting, 那些年,我们一起追的女孩, which translated literally means “those years, the girls we chased after together”. I think it’s cute hehe 🙂 Anywhoo, I first heard this song on the plane to china, then in the taxi to our hotel, and then in a restaurant, and it drove me craazyyy that I couldn’t find out what song it was. But then I was walking along a street and heard it playing in a stall, and I asked the lady behind the counter and she told me. THANK YOU, MISS. Anyways, the guy who sings it is pretty popular in China (although I’ll stick with my EXO-M hehe). This is 那些年 – Na Xie Nian – Those Bygone Years, by 胡夏 – Hu Xia
CHINESE LYRICS
又回到最初的起点
记忆中妳青涩的脸
我们终于来到了这一天
桌垫下的老照片
无数回忆连结
今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约
又回到最初的起点
呆呆地站在镜子前
笨拙系上红色领带的结
将头发梳成大人摸样
穿上一身帅气西装
等会儿见妳一定比想像美
好想再回到那些年的时光
回到教堂座位前后
故意讨妳温柔的骂
黑板上排列组合
妳舍得解开吗
谁与谁坐他又爱着她
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想拥抱妳
拥抱错过的勇气
曾经想征服全世界
到最后回首才发现
这世界滴滴点点全部都是妳
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想告诉妳
告诉妳我没有忘记
那天晚上满天星星
平行时空下的约定
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱着妳
紧紧抱着妳
又回到最初的起点
呆呆地站在镜子前
笨拙系上红色领带的结
将头发梳成大人摸样
穿上一身帅气西装
等会儿见妳一定比想像美
好想再回到那些年的时光
回到教堂座位前后
故意讨妳温柔的骂
黑板上排列组合
妳舍得解开吗
谁与谁坐他又爱着她
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想拥抱妳
拥抱错过的勇气
曾经想征服全世界
到最后回首才发现
这世界滴滴点点全部都是妳
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想告诉妳
告诉妳我没有忘记
那天晚上满天星星
平行时空下的约定
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱着妳
紧紧抱着妳
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想拥抱妳
拥抱错过的勇气
曾经想征服全世界
到最后回首才发现
这世界滴滴点点全部都是妳
那些年错过的大雨
那些年错过的爱情
好想告诉妳
告诉妳我没有忘记
那天晚上满天星星
平行时空下的约定
再一次相遇我会紧紧抱着妳
紧紧抱着妳

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
We’re back at the very first beginning
Your sentimental face in my memories
We finally arrived at this day
The old photograph under the table mat
Countless memories are linked together
Today the boy will go on the last date with the girl
We’re back at the very beginning
Blankly standing in front of the mirror
Clumsily tying the knot on the red tie
Brushing my hair to look like an adult’s
Wearing a handsome Western style suit
When I see you later you’ll definitely be prettier than I could imagine
I really want to go back to the time of those years
To return to the seats in the classroom where I sat in front of you
Purposely annoying you to gently yell at me
The groups listed on the blackboard
Are you really willing to take them apart?
Who sat with who, he still loves her
The heavy rain we missed out on in those bygone years
The love we missed out on in those bygone years
I really want to embrace you
Embrace the courage that I didn’t have
I once wanted to conquer the whole world
Only at the end looking back did I realize
You are the entire world
The heavy rain we missed out on in those bygone years
The love we missed out on in those bygone years
I really want to tell you
Tell you that I haven’t forgotten
That night with the sky full of stars
The promise we made in that parallel world
When I see you again I will tightly embrace you
Tightly embrace you
We’re back at the very beginning
Blankly standing in front of the mirror
Clumsily tying the knot on the red tie
Brushing my hair to look like an adult’s
Wearing a handsome Western style suit
When I see you later you’ll definitely be prettier than I could imagine
I really want to go back to the time of those years
To return to the seats in the classroom where I sat in front of you
Purposely annoying you to gently yell at me
The groups listed on the blackboard
Are you really willing to take them apart?
Who sat with who, he still loves her
The heavy rain we missed out on in those bygone years
The love we missed out on in those bygone years
I really want to embrace you
Embrace the courage that I didn’t have
I once wanted to conquer the whole world
Only at the end looking back did I realize
You are the entire world
The heavy rain we missed out on in those bygone years
The love we missed out on in those bygone years
I really want to tell you
Tell you that I haven’t forgotten
That night with the sky full of stars
The promise we made in that parallel world
When I see you again I will tightly embrace you
Tightly embrace you
The heavy rain we missed out on in those bygone years
The love we missed out on in those bygone years
I really want to embrace you
Embrace the courage that I didn’t have
I once wanted to conquer the whole world
Only at the end looking back did I realize
You are the entire world
The heavy rain we missed out on in those bygone years
The love we missed out on in those bygone years
I really want to tell you
Tell you that I haven’t forgotten
That night with the sky full of stars
The promise we made in that parallel world
When I see you again I will tightly embrace you
Tightly embrace you
