The Moon Represents My Heart

HAha~ i've been going gaga over this song ever since last nite. So, to put my preshi skills to good use, i will try to translate the Chinese lyrics of this Theresa Teng song into English. The numbers 1,2,3,4 represent the tone of the words in mandarin and i'm using this because i cant write chinese characters here so it's all in hanyu pinyin. so here goes:

Yue4 Liang4 Dai4 Biao3 Wo3 De Xin1 - The Moon Represents My Heart

First Stanza

Ni3 wen4 wo3 ai4 ni3 you3 duo1 shen1
You ask how deep my love for you is

Wo3 ai4 ni3 you3 ji3 fen1
My love for you is significant

Wo3 de qing2 ye3 zhen1
My affection is genuine

Wo3 de ai4 ye3 zhen1
And so is my love

Yue4 liang4 dai4 biao3 wo3 de xin1
The Moon represents my heart

Second Stanza

Ni3 wen4 wo3 ai4 ni3 you3 duo1 shen1
You ask how deep my love for you is

Wo3 ai4 ni3 you3 ji3 fen1
My love for you is significant

Wo3 de qing2 bu4 yi2
My affection does not waver

Wo3 de ai4 bu2 bian4
My love never changes

Yue4 liang4 dai4 biao3 wo3 de xin1
The Moon represents my heart

Chorus

Qing1 qing1 de yi4 ge wen3
Your soft and gentle kiss

Yi3 jin1 da3 dong4 wo3 de xin1
Had already melted my heart

Shen1 shen1 de yi2 duan4 qing2
The deep and intimate relationship that we shared

Jiao4 wo3 si1 nian4 dao4 ru2 jin1
Is still nostalgic till this very day

Third Stanza
Ni3 wen4 wo3 ai4 ni3 you3 duo1 shen1
You ask how deep my love for you is

Wo3 ai4 ni3 you3 ji3 fen1
My love for you is significant

Ni3 qu4 xiang3 yi4 xiang3
Go think about it

Ni3 qu4 kan4 yi2 kan4
Take a look for yourself

Yue4 liang4 dai4 biao3 wo3 de xin1
The Moon represents my heart

*Interlude

*Chorus

*Third Stanza
*Last 3 lines Third Stanza
