多久以前 曾經你的臉
是每分每秒 都在我心裡面
多久以前 哪天的那個海邊
在你身後 呼吸著你的疲倦
多久以前 三點五分電腦的畫面
傳來的訊息 是你給我的
最後一句 再見

只是那年夏天太短
只是對你的思念太長
只是在這一瞬間 又看見你的臉
到底要我等多久 到底還要過幾年
你的輪廓 才能夠 模糊的
出現在我心裡面

...ok i dont know chinese. but im sure it was good

Nice~
Reminds me of one of Jay Chou's songs~ ^^

I am guessing it is very good, but im korean not chinese and google translate wont do any good. -_-;;

It also reminds me of Jay Chou ballads.

You just gotta love Jay Chou and his lyric & compositions~
Its really good lilxroxy!!

^ Please don't spam. Thanks.




Are you sure that's the translation?

Because the first line of the poem is suppose to be "Until how long will I see your face"

...haha. thanks. im so not asian

( : thanks! *beams*

awww.... very nice....

can un read or write cantonese or mandarin?

it's the first time that i see a chinese poem in CB... i thought to do that too, but i know not many CB member know chinese at all, so i eliminated my decision. but your poem is so touching~~

let me translate the poem to those who do not know chinese words CB members^^but my gramma mistakes must be totally a mess. hope u guys dun mind. coz i know the author want to share the feeling to all of u ^^
**
long time ago, your face
had been sticked in my heart every second.
long time ago, in which day, in that beach,
standing behind you, breathing your fatigue
long time ago, the message from the computer monitor,
at 3:05am/pm, which u gave me,
the last word, goodbye.

only that summer was too short,
only that the time of missing you was too long,
only at that moment, i saw you again.
how long should i wait, how many years should i spend,
to see your contour appearred inside my heart,
so bleary.
**

Thanks for the translation..and i know very little chinese...but i read like 90% of the poem, and yea, it is really good. i love it!

u r welcome, but i'm afraid maybe my translation not exactly be the meaning of the author want to express.

Thanks for the translation pingpang_0811, yea..............Chinese is sometimes very hard to translate or express in English! >.<

i really want the author come out and tell me if the translation match le...

eh i still dont understand it... i want my mommie to translate for me! haha

Ugh, so I can't get the characters to type my entire response in Chinese since translators suck and won't give me the characters I want.

I'm not used to reading Chinese poems and such, so I really have nothing to compare my opinion on this to. But -

我非常喜歡「到底要我等多久? 到底還要過幾年?」

你寫地很好。

wow. gee guys. thanks ^//^

and pingpang_0811 your translation was very very 貼切

thanks guys ( :

Darn. I can't read it. *boo.

SOMEONE SHOULD TRANSLATE IT!! T_T

I knew I shouldn't have quit chinese school. Jeebus, ten years wasted. *shakes head*

Title of the poem is "Only"
你寫地很好。 (Copied from Anna)
I was able to translate most of the poem, but some characters, I wasn't able to make out.

edit;
pingpang_0811, your pingying is VERY accurate.

Excellent, I loved it!

Actually, all I could see was a bunch of squares, but I'm sure it was great.

i am hong kong people & lives in hong kong@@
today i know~ the foreign people seem jay choi to interest@@
but i like Jesse McCartney

Your computer must have support for Asian languages. This is installed automatically under Mac OS X and most Unix/Linux systems (i.e., systems that use Unicode); it must be installed manually under Windows. To install on Windows:

1. Go to Control Panels > Regional and Language Options.
2. Select the Languages tab.
3. Check Install Files for East Asian Languages
4. Click Okay.
5. Support for Asian languages will be installed. (You might have to insert your Windows CD.)
