2nd track from their 2nd (2008) album '越长大越孤单 It gets lonelier as you grow up'
多年以后你回到我身边
duō nián yǐ hòu nǐ huí dào wǒ shēn biān
You return back to my side after many years
不安全充满了你疲倦的双眼
bù ān quán chōng mǎn le nǐ pí juàn de shuāng yǎn
Your tired eyes full of insecurities
看着我也告诉我
kàn zhe wǒ yě gào sù wǒ
Stares back at me and indicate to me
你是否依然相信童话
nǐ shì fǒu yī rán xiàng xìn tóng huà
Whether you still believe in fairytales
你曾对我说
nǐ céng duì wǒ shuō
You mentioned before
每颗心都寂寞
měi kē xīn dōu jì mò
That every heart is lonely
每颗心都脆弱
měi kē xīn dōu cuì ruò
Every heart is fragile
都渴望被触摸
dōu kě wàng bèi chù mō
Every one of them yearn to be touched
但你的心永远地燃烧着
dàn nǐ de xīn yǒng yuǎn dì rán shāo zhe
But your heart will always be burning
永远地不会褪色
yǒng yuǎn dì bú huì tuì sè
And will never fade forever
越长大越 孤单
yuè zhǎng dà yuè gū dān
It gets lonelier as you grow up
越长大越 不安
yuè zhǎng dà yuè bù ān
It becomes more insecure as you grow up
也不得不看梦想的翅膀被折断
yě bù dé bú kàn mèng xiǎng de chì bǎng bèi zhé duàn
It is unavoidable to see the wings of your dreams snap
也不得不收回曾经的话 问自己
yě bù dé bù shōu huí céng jīng de huà wèn zì jǐ
And you cannot help but take back what you have said, asking oneself
你纯真的眼睛哪去了？
nǐ chún zhēn de yǎn jīng nǎ qù le ？
Where has the sincerity in your eyes gone?
越长大越 孤单
yuè zhǎng dà yuè gū dān
It gets lonelier as you grow up
越长大越 不安
yuè zhǎng dà yuè bù ān
It becomes more insecure as you grow up
也不得不 打开保护你的降落伞
yě bù dé bù dǎ kāi bǎo hù nǐ de jiàng luò sǎn
You have no choice but to open your parachute for protection
也突然间明白未来的路不平坦
yě tū rán jiān míng bái wèi lái de lù bú píng tǎn
And suddenly understand that the road into the future will not be smooth
难道说这改变是 必然
nán dào shuō zhè gǎi biàn shì bì rán
Does it mean that this change is inevitable
你曾对我说每颗心都寂寞
nǐ céng duì wǒ shuō měi kē xīn dōu jì mò
You mentioned before that every heart is lonely
每颗心都脆弱
měi kē xīn dōu cuì ruò
Every heart is fragile
都渴望被触摸
dōu kě wàng bèi chù mō
Every one of them yearn to be touched
看着我 也告诉我
kàn zhe wǒ yě gào sù wǒ
Look at me and tell me
你的心 依旧 燃烧着
nǐ de xīn yī jiù rán shāo zhe
That your heart is still burning strong

I've recently been listening to songs by alan. She's a tibetian who started of releasing songs in japanese but her newest single is in chinese. She's good too ^_^
I find tibetan singers generally have really good voices. It was a good move for her to do the theme song for Red Cliff though, well-known storyline and famous actors. Very good publicity XD
Since you know a lot of Chinese songs, any you can think of that are similar in mood and tone to Xin Zhan? I love the tragic and grandiose beauty. Only one I could come up off the top of my head was Endless Love from that Jackie Chan movie...the one where he falls in love with a Korean princess or something.
It was subtitled into english in my country, including the song. The translation was very well done, I'll never be able to interpret it as fluently as that so I'm just going to find that version on the web, hopefully. The lyrics is about a person's feelings on wanting to fight a war side by side with this other person.
About songs of similar genre, the ones I can think of at the moment are those from other similar chinese olden days blockbuster movies. haha.. I loved the theme song for The Banquet. Jay Chou's Ju Hua Tai from that movie he acted in, Coco Lee's Yue Guang Ai Ren from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon etc. That song from the Jackie Chan movie, did you listen to the version sang by Han Hong and Sun Nan? Cos I found it way more tragic then the one Jackie Chan sang with the korean lady ^_^
