改變自己 ~ 王力宏

[karened]

The first few times I heard this song, I was listening to the melody more than the lyric, so I thought this was just another song about changing yourself to become better. But I had a closer listen at it and boy, it's more than that!!! Listen to it and tell me what you feel he's singing about?? It's more obvious when read in Mandarin, but I translated the lyric, so have a look!

Here's the PV/MV by the way. Very coOl. He plays 4 different characters with different images and styles in this band. darn coOl! Man I can't wait to buy this album..when the edition with the coupon for the autograph session comes out! ^_^

Please listen even if you don't know LeeHom!! He is a great composer/singer, really! He can play loads of instruments and speak 4/5 languages!

 

Please do not take the translation out of my vox, in parts or in entirety.

改變自己by LeeHom

 

很久沒有

聽見那

又親切

又熟悉

的聲音

請準備

改變自己

It has been very long that

you've not heard that

friendly

and familiar

voice.

Please get ready

to change yourself.

回來了！C'mon!

Back! C'mon!

 

今早起床了 看鏡子裡的我

忽然發現我髮型睡得有點Kuso

一點點改變 有很大的差別

你我的力量也能改變世界

I woke up this morning and saw my reflection in the mirror.

Suddenly realised that my hair's a little Kuso.

Minor changes they make a huge difference.

The power you and I possess can also change the world.

 

最近比較煩 最近情緒很 Down

每天看新聞都會很想大聲尖叫

但髒話沒用 大家只會嫌兇

我改變自己發現大有不同

Been quite vexed lately. my mood's very down.

Wanting to scream loudly whenever I watch the news.

But vulgarities are of no use. People will just say it's too uncouth.

I changed myself and found that it's very different.

 

新一代的朋友我們好好的加油

大家一起大聲的說 Na Na Na Na Na

Friends of the new generation, let's work hard.

Let us all say loudly: Na Na Na Na Na

 

我可以改變世界 改變自己

改變龜毛 改變小氣

要一直努力努力 永不放棄

才可以改變世界 C'mon改變自己

I can change the world, change myself.

Do away with being passive, with pettiness

Got to keep working at it, never give up.

Only then can you change the world. C'mon, change yourself!

 

今早起床了 覺得頭有點痛

可能是二氧化碳太多 氧氣不夠

一點的改變 有很大的差別

你我的熱情也能改變世界

I woke up this morning and had a slught headache.

Perhaps it's because there's much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen.

Minor changes they make a huge difference.

The passion you and I hold can only change the world.

 

只能代表自己

沒有政治立場

即使這世界讓我看得十分緊張

要調整自己

嗯~~

沒想到一點就能畫龍點睛

I can just represent myself.

There is no politics.

Although looking at this world makes me rather nervous,

I want to adjust myself.

Yeah~~

I didn't know that just a little can make things better.
