In my heart there was a dream,

That is to sing so you may forget your miseries,

(In) starful skies who is the true hero

Common people give me the most passion

No more hate, no more sorrow,

May there is love in every corner,

We sing for your smile,

Wish your life be special from this point on,

Use every minute,

To fulfull our dream with full throtle, If not through storm

How can we see rainbow. Not everyone can be successful just like that

Use every passion in life,

Hug close friends,

Let true words and happy tears

be in my heart moving.

Well, the melody of this song is exactly the same as the one that I like but the lyrics are different. [:)]

Now that there is a song there might as well be a musical to supplement it. *can vaguely imagine a musical about Physics Forums* Would be interesting.

Monique, I think I better ask PrudensOptimus to translate it.

PrudensOptimus, would you mind translating it? I'm not good at translation. [6)]

I liked it.
Oh, you know Chow Wa Kin ? Wow, I couldn't believe it. Is he really that famous? [8)]

The other version of this song that I mentioned is actually sung by the same group of people. Emil Chow and Jacky Chan were two of them.

Thanks, but I do not take the credit. This song is quite a famous song but many people don't know the name since there are millions of good songs in China.

This song is by Jackie Chan, and a few others together.

Same lyrics... No, they aren't the same. Names of the song are different too. I'm finding fonts that can convert traditional chinese characters to simplified Chinese characters as I'm afriad you can't understand every word written in traditional chinese characters. My experience tells me people from mainland China may find it difficult to read traditional chinese characters while we find it difficult to read simplified chinese characters.

The link I provided above isn't the other version of this song. Perhaps you misunderstood that. I haven't uploaded my version yet. [:)] I'll upload them if ready, or if you don't mind reading traditional chinese characters.

I know.

Also, I said, "The link I provided above isn't the other version of this song. Perhaps you misunderstood that. I haven't uploaded my version yet." I meant I haven't uploaded the version I mentioned. Am I really that unclear ? [:(]

Dude, please don't forget, I'm Chinese too and I know Chinese. And I know the difference between simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.

Ok, here's the other version which is in simplified chinese. It is converted to simplifed chinese from traditional chinese by a software called NJStar Chinese WP.

since we're on chinese music-is Fay Wong a pretty famous singer? I heard her music once and she's got a good voice-almost rivals Celine dione. Also, is F4 big in china?

Fay Wong is very very very famous! She was born in Bei Jing. When she was eight years old (IIRC), she and her family moved to Hong Kong. Not only is she famous in China and Hong Kong SAR, but also in Japan and other parts of the world.

You know what? KL is a nerd who knows nearly nothing about pop singers but knows a lot about old songs which don't really belong to the younger generation. [6)] F4 is a very new group from Tai Wan and I just did a little research about them. They are very famous in Hong Kong and Tai Wan, but I'm not sure whether they are famous in mainland China.

By the way, how did you know F4 ? [?] By some kind of secret source like the one Ivan has?

Male:
HK division(most popular in china):
Liu De Hua (aka Andy Lau)

Zhang Xue You (don't know his english name)

Taiwan Division(2nd popular):

Ren Xian Qi

Female:

HK:

Wang Fei (aka Wong Fei, Faye Wong).

Edit: A few mp3s of those artists in Mandarin.(Note I heard they have many good ones in Cantonese too.)

List of famous POP songs by Zhang Xue You(there are like 50+, but I'll list a few):

http://edu.nx.cninfo.net/edu/schoolmusic/biewen.mp3 -- "Goodbye with a kiss"

http://www.xdjs.gov.cn/music/mc/030/0214.mp3 -- "Love Letter"

http://218.22.192.164/tool/tools/mp3/zxy-rgzdbsa.mp3 -- "If this is not love"

Some by Liu De Hua(aka Andy Lau):

http://ly.northtimes.com/xinge/anywn.mp3 -- "Love you ten thousand years."

http://www.dcb.hljmptt.net.cn/ez/19949.mp3 -- "Water (that) erase love"

http://www.xzcx.net.cn/yltd/lxgx/lxyy/MP3/ldh/14.mp3 -- "Chinese"

There are just sooooo mannny more... Hard to find on the internet. You need to check out Andy Lau's movies if you haven't... He is also a fantastic movie actor... I love his movies, especially his "Running out of Time"(aka An Zhan).

Actually a long time ago in Boston, or New York.. or was it LA? Don't even remember I bought some tapes with Asian music, I guess they are vietnamese:

Mùa Thy Cho Em
Ngoc Huong Le Huynh

Gia Huy
Anh Van Biet

Tuoi
Doi Muoi

The problem is that they are all covers with very cheap background synthesizer music [*(]

So I am not interested in pop music, more in traditional singing.

You should listen to Andy Lau's "Chinese."

and watch his DVDs.(Running out of Time, God of Gamblers.. etc.)

Translation of KL's lyrics:

Open the warm window of (my) eye,

Only walking on the cold fields,

The sun rises from the terrain,

Shines in the bright eternal way,

Know loving, know to share.

Treasure this life before the next.

Don't let arrogance be into your life.

Just to clarify, basically you like Asian groups singing traditional Asian songs? those are boring [:D]

I have some songs, but more from Asian pop bands and most are sang in English and their native language.

It's a well guarded secret[!:)] Actually I just have a lot of asian friends and aquaintances.

Ivan has a secret source? source of what? Gold? Diamonds? Rubies? Punky power?

Ivan has a secret source? I think he has one, but it is classified as top secret.
