Chinese Poem 自从第一天我看到你 (我就想) From the First Day I Saw You (I Thought)

Wow, so it's been a while.

I have been through basic training (last year). I've now just completed the 63 week course in Mandarin Chinese that I was struggling so much with before.

During the course I wrote a poem in Chinese. I've told some friends about it, and you continue to show interest in my poetry. Even if it's in Chinese. So I'm here to share it with you. And I'll try to translate it for you... even though... different parts could probably be translated into several different things in English. It may also seem extremely cheesy in English, so... we'll see. :-)

“自从第一天我看到你(我就想)”

自从第一天我看到你
我就想没关系
你觉得有点胖(没关系)
谁可能想你不是十分可爱?
你的眼睛及你的笑
我就被催眠
你的耳朵与你的头发
请你当我的小熊猫?

你的唇吻和发声音
请对我笑跟永远说话
从第一天我看到你,我就想
世上没有更漂亮。

Okay, now to try and translate... ehh... maybe I shouldn't. I should leave you to figure out the Chinese for fun :-) leave you hanging.







"From the First Day I Saw You (I Thought)"

From the first day I saw you
I though it doesn't matter
If you feel a little chubby (it doesn't matter)
Who could possibly think you aren't adorable?
Your eyes and your smile
I've been mesmerized
Your ears and your hair
Please be my little panda?
Your lips and the sound of your voice
Please smile for me and speak forever
From the first day I saw you, I thought
There is no one in the world who is more beautiful.

I went to see Mae on their farewell tour this past Wednesday and Terrible Things were one of the opening bands. I really like them. The band members are formerly of Taking Back Sunday, Coheed & Cambria and Hot Rod Circuit. Check them out.
And Mae was of course, aMAEzing. Absolutely aMAEzing. Sad thing to see them go.

lost / in / the / sound / of / separation


Some Underoath lyrics that are really touching me right now...

But because I'm too stressed out and tired and busy to copy and paste them or type them up for you (to probably not read)...

I'll simply say look them up yourself.

Lost In The Sound Of Separation is the name of the cd.

Basically the whole cd is getting to me right now.

Whatever...
I don't even have or take the time to read the messages people sent me for my birthday... so why should anyone have time to look this up?

I can feel you in my arms and legs
Where the muscles keep growing
But never take shape
And I can feel you on my tongue again
Underneath the taste knees are buckling in

您最好学会跷家! (nin zui hao xue hui qiao jia)
You'd better start running away
这黑暗的阴影快到了 (zhe hei an de yin ying kuai dao le)
Your ghost is getting away!

加 油 加 油 (jia you jia you)
Go go go go go!
We're gonna watch it burn
(Watch it burn)
If you start thinking
"Maybe you've had enough"
Oh Darling Darling Please
(just) Wait your turn!
Cause this is just a temporary setback
We'll be running full steam again
At the time when the sun hits high noon in the sky
最好 (zui hao) be opening your eyes!
(We're listening in)

Take it on the principle
It's not the friends who count (you need)
It's the touch of a demon breakin'
Into your skin
Into nice skin indeed
外星(人) (wai xing (ren))

You, great father of wisdom
You come from a stolen Pearl
Lost among the rising rooftops
Bathed in blood from the battlefront
Your father should have raised you well
But he was home bedding wives and making eyes
Those eyes so sweet
Cut them from my mind
This is the way we've all become
Your widowed mother's former lover
Warmth stolen from our sheets
We find ourselves alone in endless fields

So these are the things you've come to see
吵吧!(chao ba)
为什么你有意思? (wei shen me ni you yi si)
你不是说真(诚)的马? (ni bu shi shuo zhen (cheng) de ma)
These are the leaves falling out of our trees
These are the tears raining down
我的心被你们弄坏了。(wo de xin bei nimen nong huai le)

This is the end
As everyone knows
When you don't know where to start
You work your way back
From the end.
So this is the start.
And the step before was the come-down
Falling from the climax
The peak of activity
The build
Followed by the twist in the story
All developing from the start
Which is where everything ended to begin with
So here we are
An ending without an origination
And in response to my heart
I stole the colors from your eyes
This can all be mine
For just a little bit more of the price
This is the way we pay
With the blood from our hearts
Boiled out of our veins over the flames
This was just the step to start
Now let's take one back...

Trapping in a world of rules
I've become a broken record
Spinning...
Round and round and round and round
Again
It's happening all over again
Brand new in the same old way
Not capable of making mistakes
But f*ck what you expect of me

I've become a broken cistern
And I'm only good at hiding the lies
These pages
This is where I'm free to be
But somewhere in the middle
They became for your eyes only
So when I jumped the gun and started to think
Freedom wasn't free
It was just what you expected from me

And this is the page
Soft words for your eyes only
Which is just another way to say
For my lies only
Everything I want you to hear and believe
And all that you want me to be
Filling up the pages
While I've forgotten how to dream

So f*ck that
Let the sh*t hit the fan
This isn't what you wanted
And it sure as Hell wasn't planned
But it's my escape
And it's my 为了飞。(wei le fei)
If jumping gets me higher
Then the falling's only temporary

This is breaking down at its worst
Where there's no one to talk to
With your lines... so... well rehearsed
I think I just need someone to say
"Go back to bed
You're sleepwalking again"

And this is the world at its worst
Where it was beautiful
But everything hurts
And I'm making my eyes bleed again
By holding in
Everything I never should have said
And I can only wish that this is the end
