    Singer: Ronghao Li 李荣浩

    Title: Ling Yi Duan 另一端

    English Title: The other side (the other end)

    梳了梳头发 煮三菜一汤
    Shū le shū tóufà zhǔ sān cài yī tāng
    Combed my hair, cooked three dishes and a soup

    儿子中学毕业典礼不能迟到
    Érzi zhōngxué bìyè diǎnlǐ bùnéng chídào
    My son can’t be late for his high school graduation ceremony.

    自行车链条 换完了又换
    Zìxíngchē liàntiáo huàn wánle yòu huàn
    The bicycle chain was replaced, and then replaced again.

    下个月初给家里买台电视看
    Xià gè yuè chū gěi jiālǐ mǎi tái diànshì kàn
    I’ll buy a TV for the family to watch next month.

    要对人友善 并保持坚韧

    Be kind to others and stay resilient.

    要给孩子做一个好的示范
    Yào gěi háizi zuò yīgè hǎo de shìfàn
    Set a good example for my children.

    不算太伟岸 却是我榜样
    Bù suàn tài wěi’àn què shì wǒ bǎngyàng
    Not exactly imposing, but still my role model.

    以上是父亲留给我的印象

    借给你双眼 见证我成年模样
    Jiè gěi nǐ shuāng yǎn jiànzhèng wǒ chéngnián múyàng
    I’ll lend you my eyes, witnessing my grown-up appearance.

    请不要忘记我们

    在另一端也不准
    Zài lìng yīduān yě bù zhǔn
    On the other side, don’t allow it.

    借给你嘴巴 听你说说话
    Jiè gěi nǐ zuǐbā tīng nǐ shuō shuō huà

    About the song

    In my opinion, this song is underrated, the music video (which is amazing, imo) just watched by less than one million viewers. This song reflects a deep sense of admiration and love for a father figure. The narrator recounts the lessons learned from their father, such as being kind and resilient, and the importance of setting a good example for the next generation.

    It also speaks about the passing of time, the transition from childhood to adulthood, and the realization of the wisdom and influence of the father. The song emphasizes the desire to carry forward these teachings, cherishing the bond and memories with a loved one, even when time or distance separates them.

  • Ronghao Li 李榮浩 – Names 名字 Lyrics with English Translation

    Singer: Ronghao Li 李榮浩

    Title: Ming Zi 名字

    English Title: Names

    Lyrics / Pinyin / English Translation:

    最后的焰火 持续燃烧你我
    Zuìhòu de yànhuǒ chíxù ránshāo nǐ wǒ
    The last fireworks continue to burn between you and me.

    面对面蜡像两座 爱已逐渐消融
    Miànduì miàn làxiàng liǎng zuò ài yǐ zhújiàn xiāo róng
    Face to face, like two wax figures, love gradually melts away.

    坍塌了做过的梦 模糊了我们的面容
    Tāntā le zuòguò de mèng móhú le wǒmen de miànróng
    The dreams we once had collapsed, blurring our faces.

    称呼和问候 像放馊了的酒
    Chēnghū hé wèn hòu xiàng fàng sōu le de jiǔ
    The names and greetings feel like spoiled wine.

    亲爱的叫不出口 对白拼拼凑凑
    Qīn’ài de jiào bù chūkǒu duìbái pīn pīn còu còu
    I can’t even call you “dear,” the dialogue feels patched together.

    拥挤的房间里头 塞不下我们的沉默
    Yōngjǐ de fángjiān lǐtóu sāi bù xià wǒmen de chénmò
    In the crowded room, there’s no space for our silence.

    或许故事已经告一个段落
    Huòxǔ gùshì yǐjīng gào yī gè duànluò
    Perhaps the story has already come to an end.

    我不擦去你名字不可
    Wǒ bù cā qù nǐ míngzì bùkě
    I can’t erase your name.

    因为害怕回忆之中该死的承诺
    Yīnwèi hàipà huíyì zhī zhōng gāisǐ de chéngnuò
    Because I’m afraid of the cursed promise in the memories.

    就让我们相信这是必然的结果
    Jiù ràng wǒmen xiāngxìn zhè shì bìrán de jiéguǒ
    Let us believe that this is the inevitable outcome.

    转身之后只是个某某
    Zhuǎnshēn zhīhòu zhǐshì gè mǒu mǒu
    After turning around, I’m just someone.

    我不擦去你名字不可
    Wǒ bù cā qù nǐ míngzì bùkě
    I can’t erase your name.

    因为害怕人潮之中我还是回头
    Yīnwèi hàipà réncháo zhī zhōng wǒ háishì huítóu
    Because I’m afraid I’ll still turn back in the crowd.

    在阳光之下希望你会真的快乐
    Zài yángguāng zhī xià xīwàng nǐ huì zhēn de kuàilè
    Under the sunlight, I hope you will truly be happy.

    你我的名字再没有以后
    Nǐ wǒ de míngzì zài méiyǒu yǐhòu
    Our names will have no future anymore.

    就当没遇过 没有互相探索
    Jiù dāng méi yùguò méiyǒu hùxiāng tànsuǒ
    Let’s pretend we never met, never explored each other.

    忘了对大海呐喊 披着满天星斗
    Wàngle duì dàhǎi nàhǎn pīzhe mǎn tiān xīngdǒu
    Forget shouting to the sea, dressed in a sky full of stars.

    叫着彼此的绰号 笑得在怀里打哆嗦
    Jiàozhe bǐcǐ de chuòhào xiàode zài huái lǐ dǎ duōsuō
    Calling each other’s nicknames, laughing and shivering in each other’s arms.

    就当没哭过 没有署名寂寞
    Jiù dāng méi kūguò méiyǒu shǔmíng jìmò
    Let’s pretend we never cried, never signed the loneliness.

    为何用满满的刺 签收各种借口
    Wèihé yòng mǎn mǎn de cì qiānshōu gèzhǒng jièkǒu
    Why use so many thorns to accept various excuses?

    眼看着满满的爱 淪为无名氏的玩偶
    Yǎn kànzhe mǎn mǎn de ài lún wéi wúmíng shì de wán’ǒu
    Watching all the love turn into a nameless puppet.

    或许故事早已告一个段落
    Huòxǔ gùshì zǎo yǐ gào yī gè duànluò
    Perhaps the story already ended long ago.

    我不擦去你名字不可
    Wǒ bù cā qù nǐ míngzì bùkě
    I can’t erase your name.

    因为害怕回忆之中该死的承诺
    Yīnwèi hàipà huíyì zhī zhōng gāisǐ de chéngnuò
    Because I’m afraid of the cursed promise in the memories.

    就让我们相信这是必然的结果
    Jiù ràng wǒmen xiāngxìn zhè shì bìrán de jiéguǒ
    Let us believe that this is the inevitable outcome.

    转身之后只是个某某
    Zhuǎnshēn zhīhòu zhǐshì gè mǒu mǒu
    After turning around, I’m just someone.

    若不擦去你名字不可
    Ruò bù cā qù nǐ míngzì bùkě
    If I don’t erase your name.

    一片流沙世界你像海市和蜃楼
    Yīpiàn liúshā shìjiè nǐ xiàng hǎishì hé shènlóu
    In a world of quicksand, you are like a mirage and an illusion.

    就让我们相信这是必然的结果
    Jiù ràng wǒmen xiāngxìn zhè shì bìrán de jiéguǒ
    Let us believe that this is the inevitable outcome.

    转身之后只是个某某
    Zhuǎnshēn zhīhòu zhǐshì gè mǒu mǒu
    After turning around, I’m just someone.

    若不擦去我名字不可
    Ruò bù cā qù wǒ míngzì bùkě
    If I don’t erase my name.

    我完美的背影早已写满了哀愁
    Wǒ wánměi de bèiyǐng zǎo yǐ xiě mǎnle āichóu
    My perfect silhouette has already written full of sorrow.

    在阳光之下希望你能找到快乐
    Zài yángguāng zhī xià xīwàng nǐ néng zhǎodào kuàilè
    Under the sunlight, I hope you can find happiness.

    尽管那个名字不再是我
    Jǐnguǎn nàgè míngzì bù zài shì wǒ
    Even though that name is no longer me.

    故事的开头 到故事的最后
    Gùshì de kāitóu dào gùshì de zuìhòu
    From the beginning of the story to its end.

    从红着脸微笑着 到红着眼泪流
    Cóng hóngzhe liǎn wéixiào zhe dào hóngzhe yǎnlèi liú
    From smiling with a red face to crying with red eyes.

    曾经熟悉的名字 今后列为失踪人口
    Céngjīng shúxī de míngzì jīnhòu liè wèi shīzōng rénkǒu
    The once familiar name will now be listed as a missing person.

    About the song

    One of my most favorite song of Ronghao Li beside “If I were young” This song talks about a fading love and the emotional distance between two people. It reflects on the end of a relationship, the struggle to let go, and the fear of erasing memories tied to someone special.

    The lyrics use metaphorical imagery like fireworks, a collapsing dream, and a mirage to convey feelings of loss and the painful realization that things have changed beyond repair. It also expresses the difficulty of moving forward while still caring about the other person, even though the relationship no longer exists.

    About the song

    The latest song of Sun Yan Zi (Stefanie Sun). This song explores themes of reflection, time, and the search for meaning. The narrator contemplates the vastness of the world, the fleeting nature of joy and memories, and the shifting flow of life.

    Despite the passing of time and changes in the world, the narrator finds comfort in the idea that love and light still exist, even if unseen. The journey of self-discovery and the search for deeper understanding are central to the song, as the narrator moves through life, feeling as if waking up to a new awareness.

    About the song

    “If I were young” is my most favorite Ronghao Li of all-time, no doubt.

    The song reflects on regret, missed opportunities, and self-reflection. The narrator thinks about how they could have been more successful and not let their mistakes ruin a relationship. They lament not being confident enough, not understanding the value of love and dreams at a younger age, and wish they had made better choices, particularly in their love life.

    The song expresses deep sorrow for how things turned out and an understanding of the pain they caused to someone they care about.

    Lyrics / Pinyin / English Translation:

    像某种折衷
    Xiàng mǒu zhǒng zhézhōng
    Like some kind of compromise

    一起度过
    Yīqǐ dùguò
    Spending time together

    理想的生活
    Lǐxiǎng de shēnghuó
    The ideal life

    没高尚到妄想抚摸
    Méi gāoshàng dào wàngxiǎng fǔmō
    Not noble enough to dream of touching

    别碰的伤口
    Bié pèng de shāngkǒu
    Wounds that shouldn’t be touched

    睡梦中牵手
    Shuìmèng zhōng qiānshǒu
    Holding hands in sleep

    出门吻我
    Chūmén wěn wǒ
    Kissing me before leaving

    安排起周末
    Ānpái qǐ zhōumò
    Planning the weekend

    却想不透缺少了什么
    Què xiǎng bù tòu quēshǎole shénme
    But can’t figure out what’s missing

    难道是占有
    Nándào shì zhànyǒu
    Is it possession?

    能相拥而泣也想不离不弃
    Néng xiāngyōng ér qì yě xiǎng bù lí bù qì
    Able to cry in each other’s arms, yet wanting to stay together

    但终究止步于被认定

    But ultimately stopping at being defined

    这几乎是爱情

    也是种变相的被珍惜

    不解释成爱情并不委屈
    Bù jiěshì chéng àiqíng bìng bù wěiqū

    过不去也能过下去
    Guò bù qù yě néng guò xiàqù

    是曾经走心过朋友间的劝说
    Shì céngjīng zǒuxīn guò péngyou jiān de quànshuō
    It’s the heartfelt advice from friends

    但你我何必其他人懂
    Dàn nǐ wǒ hébì qítā rén dǒng

    折磨往往源自要求
    Zhémó wǎngwǎng yuán zì yāoqiú

    Don’t love you, just keep going with you

    About the song

    Another ballad song from the King of lovelorn people, Eric Chou. This song explores the complexities of a relationship that feels almost like love but is held back by hesitation, fear, and unspoken boundaries. The lyrics depict a connection filled with intimacy and care, yet it lacks the definitive commitment or declaration of love. The singer reflects on the compromises and unspoken rules that define their bond, questioning whether it’s enough to simply coexist without fully belonging to each other.

    The recurring theme of “这几乎是爱情” (This is almost love) highlights the ambiguity and tension in the relationship. It’s a poignant portrayal of how fear of loss, overthinking, and the avoidance of promises can prevent two people from fully embracing love, even when they share deep emotional ties. The song ultimately leaves the listener pondering whether such a relationship can endure or if it’s destined to remain in the gray area between love and companionship.

    About the song

    “Time” is one of the song that included in Eric Chou latest album, “Almost”. This song contrasts the unstoppable, impartial nature of time with the liberating power of self-belief and resilience. The lyrics personify time as an unyielding force—it doesn’t slow down, judge, or comfort, nor does it bend to human desires. Yet, the repeated refrain “Cause I can fly” symbolizes defiance and freedom, suggesting that while time is rigid, human spirit and ambition can transcend its limits.

    The imagery of flying to the moon and back reflects a journey of growth and exploration, grounded in the confidence that love or connection (embodied by “you”) will always anchor the singer’s return. It blends existential reflection (“time is math”) with hopeful determination, ultimately celebrating the ability to rise above life’s constraints and trust in reunion.

    其实我也不会太勉强自己
    Qíshí wǒ yě bù huì tài miǎnqiǎng zìjǐ
    Actually, I won’t force myself too much

    翻著讯息 闭上眼睛

    Flipping through messages, closing my eyes

    早安 嗯 继续
    Zǎo’ān èn jìxù
    Good morning, hmm, moving on

    我是你的谁 我也觉得累
    Wǒ shì nǐ de shéi wǒ yě juédé lèi
    Who am I to you? I also feel tired

    但为什么呀 为什么啊
    Dàn wèishénme ya wèishénme a
    But why, oh why

    我又不断轮回
    Wǒ yòu bùduàn lúnhuí
    Do I keep going in circles

    我还是放不下你 带著情绪
    Wǒ háishì fàng bù xià nǐ dàizhe qíngxù
    I still can’t let go of you, carrying these emotions

    就算我再也没有你的消息
    Jiùsuàn wǒ zài yě méiyǒu nǐ de xiāoxi
    Even if I no longer have any news of you

    看场电影 我在这里
    Kàn chǎng diànyǐng wǒ zài zhèlǐ
    Watching a movie, I’m here

    那些 情话不是说给我听
    Nàxiē qínghuà bùshì shuō gěi wǒ tīng
    Those sweet words weren’t meant for me

    如果我最后也只能这样
    Rúguǒ wǒ zuìhòu yě zhǐ néng zhèyàng
    If in the end, this is all I can do

    那最后就让我只能这样
    Nà zuìhòu jiù ràng wǒ zhǐ néng zhèyàng
    Then let this be how it ends for me

    可是我还是 放不下你呀
    Kěshì wǒ háishì fàng bù xià nǐ ya
    But I still can’t let go of you

    遍体鳞伤吧
    Biàntǐlínshāng ba
    Bruised and battered

    我还是放不下你 欺骗自己
    Wǒ háishì fàng bù xià nǐ qīpiàn zìjǐ
    I still can’t let go of you, deceiving myself

    就当作那年我们还在一起
    Jiù dàngzuò nà nián wǒmen hái zài yīqǐ
    Let’s pretend that year we were still together

    我在这里 唱给你听
    Wǒ zài zhèlǐ chàng gěi nǐ tīng
    I’m here, singing to you

    你说能不能写歌送给你
    Nǐ shuō néng bù néng xiě gē sòng gěi nǐ
    You asked if I could write a song for you

    我还是放不下你 真的可惜
    Wǒ háishì fàng bù xià nǐ zhēn de kěxī
    I still can’t let go of you, it’s truly a pity

    我再也无能为力继续爱你
    Wǒ zài yě wú néng wéi lì jìxù ài nǐ
    I no longer have the strength to keep loving you

    删除讯息 闭上眼睛
    Shānchú xùnxī bìshàng yǎnjīng
    Deleting messages, closing my eyes

    晚安 我的曾经
    Wǎn’ān wǒ de céngjīng
    Goodnight, my past
