Jay Chou's 菊花台

Jay Chou - Ju Hua Tai [Chrysanthemum Stage]



OST from Movie Curse of the Golden Flower 满城尽带黄金甲

菊花台 | Ju Hua Tai | Chrysanthemum Stage


曲：周杰倫
Music: Jay Chou

詞：方文山
Lyrics: Vincent Fang

妳　的淚光　柔弱中帶傷
ni de lei guang rou ruan zhong dai shang
Your tears glistens with weakness admist the pain

慘白的月彎彎　勾住過往
can bai de yue wan wan gou zhu guo wang
The pale white curved moon hooks onto the past

夜　太漫長　凝結成了霜
ye tai man chang ning jie cheng le shuang
The night is too long and has crystallised into frost

是誰在閣樓上　冰冷的絕望
shi shui zai ge lou shang bing leng de jue wang
Who is in the attic [filled with] cold hopelessness

雨　輕輕彈　朱紅色的窗
yu qing qing tan zhu hong se de chuang
Rain gently bounces off vermillon window

我一生在紙上　被風吹亂
wo yi sheng zai zhi shang bei feng chui luan
I have (written) my life story on paper (only to be) blown into a mess by the winds

夢　在遠方　化成一縷香
meng zai yuan fang hua cheng yi lv* xiang
The faraway dream has become really faint

隨風飄散　妳的模樣
sui feng piao shan ni de mo yang
The wind has dispersed the image of you

*this is romanized as lv, but pronounced as lu

＊菊花殘　滿地傷　妳的笑容已泛黃
ju hua chan man di shang ni de xiao rong yi fan huang
Chrysanthemum destroyed, A whole floor of pain your smile has become faintly yellow

花落人斷腸　我心事靜靜躺
hua luo ren duan chang wo xin shi jin jin tang
People are heartbroken when the flower falls My thoughts lay quietly (aside)

北風亂　夜未央　妳的影子剪不斷
bei feng luan ye wei yang ni de ying zi jian bu duan
The north wind is chaotic the night is still young your shadows can’t be cut

徒留我孤單　在湖面　成雙＊
tu liu wo gu dan zai hu mian cheng shuang
Leaving me lonely doubled (when I stand) by the lake and my reflection

花　已向晚　飄落了燦爛
hua yi xiang wan piao luo le can lan
The flower has already come late, drifting down brillantly

凋謝的世道上　命運不堪
diao xie de shi dao shang ming yun bu kan
the wilted morals an unbearable fate

愁　莫渡江　秋心拆兩半
chou muo du jiang qiu xin chai liang ban
(If you are) sad don’t cross the river worries* broken into two

怕妳上不了岸　一輩子搖晃
pa ni shang bu liao an yi bei zi yao huang
In fear that you can’t get back on shore and will sway for a lifetime

*this literally means splitting the top and bottom of the word “chou” apart into two words “qiu” and “xin”

誰　的江山　馬蹄聲狂亂
shui de jiang shan ma ti sheng guang luan
Chaotic sounds of horse hoofs (in) whose territory?

我一身的戎裝　呼嘯滄桑
wo yi shen de wu zhuang hu xiao cang sang
My armory shouts out the wear of time

天　微微亮　妳輕聲的嘆
tian wei wei liang ni qing sheng de tan
The sky is starting to light up your voice is sighing

一夜惆悵　如此委婉
yi ye chou chang ru ci wei wan
A night of disappointment is (said) in such a roundabout way

My Own Spirituality Bank

I have something to declare, I declare my love for God, the One that created me and all things.

I felt that this declaration post is needed because many of my friends thinks I lost touch with God, but I have not, I have my own way of loving Him.

Doesnt mean if I dont attend a church or a congregation I am not a worshipper of The Almighty. Hope all of you understand that. I make God my friend, someone whom I speak to and give thanks to everyday. I read his Word everyday and make the Truth my very own.

I have this mindset that I owe God too much, and that I thank him for this very moment I am alive now and every single breath of oxygen I get. I dont need to see the Paradise, or have an everlasting life after my death. I am happy just being able to open my eyes and see God's creations and very grateful for my life he gave to me.

Thank you for being concerned about my relationship with God. Like I have told many of you, if I want to attend a church or congregation, I want to go there willingly for God not for anyone else.

Word of men classify me as a cult or a mad person but the Word of God makes me Love him more!

No matter what denominations, no one should ever deny one another or others, for all the sheeplike ones belongs to One true God. Love one another, Be kind.

Make the truth your very own.. Because only you are accountable to God not anyone else.

I Cherish You

Just met up with the purest of pain. letting go of a hope and waking up from a dream I held on for the past 2 years. It is difficult but I have to do so... because reality is real.

From this moment on, we moved on.. in search of our happiness in our own separate ways. Thank you for accepting my "courage" with grace.

Am glad you brought out the best in me. I sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I will always be inspired by the fine examples you set for me to be a better person. Your footprints would always be in my heart.

I pray for all your wishes to come true. You deserve all the most beautiful things in the world for you are one of the best person that ever lived in my era, and I am grateful to have met you in this lifetime.

I cherish our friendship.

I cherish you Stan..

My Friend, Aric

Friends I write a post about on my blog are usually those people who have a deep impact on me and Aric is one of them.

I have known Aric for 7 years already, and our friendship started with hating each other, heh, I gave him hell then, but thanks to Roy and the rest, we became friends again with the help of a "Flairco" bottle.

This dude, is the most super-on person I have ever met. His passion for learning never ends. Aric would go to the extend of typing every single word from a thick book of information he wanted, you see the word TYPE?? But, that made him what he is today and I am happy for him.. now he is getting married with his long time girlfriend, Rosalind, I am so so happy for him.

Aric is such a sincere guy, he even went to learn how to photoshop his own wedding pictures, and made them into a touching slide show for Rosalind. For all those people who are getting married or who knows Aric.. you have to check his wedding pictures out.. the beauty of sincerity and love.. Kudos to Aric.

Aric and Rosalind, thank you for inviting me to your big day and I will see you both on 21st January 2007!

The Best Eve Ever

Eve of 2007, I did something I never did b4 in my life, I shall keep it a secret (except for the very few who knows) until I get a reply.. yah.. I might not even get a reply but I am prepared for it :) I will continue smiling!

Still my eve of 2007 wasnt all too bad! Shirlyn was recording with Leonard Soosay (my idol) and I was at Snakeweed! I managed to hear the POWERFUL voice of Shirlyn's, I swear I have never heard any local female vocalist that has a more power voice then her, she is so damn good I tell u! I love Shirlyn!

And of course, anywhere with Leonard around, is always magical.. he has this aura around him, I feel very inspired and enlightened by him every single time I see him, dont ask me why, I just feel inspired. Its also good lah, to see him on eve of 2007, meeting him today was enough for me to be inspired till the new year. I love Leonard Soosay! Long-lived SNAKEWEED!

After that I met a bunch of talented lyricists (Xiaohan's students) at a $10 per hour ktv, cheap and good, better still, with a bunch of good company!

I managed my countdown on bus 100 which passes by Vivocity and got jammed at ard 11.47pm and was showing TVMobile. Looking up into the skies and wishing for a better year to come, and I wish everyone happiness.
