I just have to say, how much I like the lyrics to this song. Well, it had to be good since it was written by the famous hong kong lyricist 'Lin Xi'. But it is very unique on its on, nothing to do with those lovey dovey stuff, instead it has a very realistic component to it. Although the tune is not as fantastic. It sounds like she is singing to a new born child? Ah, but Faye Wong has a lovely voice. As she sings it, we live in a impermenent world after all.

Singer: 王菲 Faye Wong

後不一定有美好的天空

fēng yǔ guò hòu bú yī dìng yǒu měi hǎo de tiān kōng 

A beautiful sky does not necessarily appear after the rain

 

不是天晴就会有彩虹

bú shì tiān qíng jiù huì yǒu cǎi hóng

A clear sky does not necessarily mean the appearance of a rainbow

 

所以你一无辜 不代表你

suǒ yǐ nǐ yī liǎn wú gū  bú dài biǎo nǐ měng dǒng

Hence, when you show an innocent face, that doesn’t mean you are ignorant

 

 

不是所有感情都会有始有

bú shì suǒ yǒu gǎn qíng dōu huì yǒu shǐ yǒu zhōng 

Not all relationships will have a concrete beginning and ending

 

孤独尽不一定惶恐

gū dú jìn tóu bú yī dìng huáng kǒng 

The result of solitude is not necessarily something to be scared of

 

可生命免不了 最初的一

kě shēng mìng zǒng miǎn bú le  zuì chū de yī zhèn tong

However, it is inevitable in life to have to experience that initial stab of pain 

 

 

但愿你的眼睛 只看得到笑容

dàn yuàn nǐ de yǎn jīng  zhī kàn dé dào xiào róng

Hopefully, your eyes can only see the smiles

 

但愿你流下一滴泪 都人感

dàn yuàn nǐ liú xià měi yī dī lèi  dōu ràng rén gǎn dòng 

Hopefully, every drop of tears you shed will touch people’s hearts

 

但愿你以後一个梦 不会一

dàn yuàn nǐ yǐ hòu měi yī gè mèng  bú huì yī chǎng kōng 

Hopefully in the future, your every dream will not end in vain

 

 

天上人 如果真得歌

tiān shàng rén jiān  rú guǒ zhēn zhí dé gē sòng 

Heaven on earth, if it was really something worth singing praises of

 

也是因有你 才会哄哄

yě shì yīn wéi yǒu nǐ  cái huì biàn dé nào hǒng hǒng 

It is only because there is you, that is why it has become so lively

 

天大地大 世界比你想像中朦

tiān dà dì dà  shì jiè bǐ nǐ xiǎng xiàng zhōng méng long

The sky and land is so vast, this world is actually more obscure than you think

 

我不忍心再欺哄 但愿你听得懂

wǒ bú rěn xīn zài qī hǒng  dàn yuàn nǐ tīng dé dǒng 

I do not have the heart to tell you white lies anymore, hopefully you have understood

 

 

但愿你会懂 何去何从
dàn yuàn nǐ huì dǒng  gāi hé qù hé cóng

Hopefully, you will understand, how to lead your life into the future
