@@Mandarin_Mike Faye Wong has a fantastic 2004 song about smoking by the title "Smoke" (but should be better translated as "Cigarette" instead). Do check it out!
This song is even more touching after watching the movies, tears in my eyes knowing our motherland had gone through a lot of hardship to become what we’re today🙏
What a terrific translation of the lyrics, got tears in my eyes when I read them and listen to them, knowing that it's a song dedicated to those soldiers and warriors sacrificed their lives to protect innocent people during every war, especially in the war against Japanese aggression to China during world war II and in Korean war. Deep respect to our forefathers who dedicated their lives just to let us sleep in the night without being afraid of slaughter, rape, torture and horror
Could never have imagined that a non-native Mandarin speaker could have such a deep and accurate understanding of this song! You are doing so great! This song is all about our forerunners, our parents, our beloved, and the ones who bring us what we have today.
Thank you so much Zicheng! I really appreciate your feedback, here and in your previous comment. If you think of any meaningful songs with a lower voice like this you would like to hear translated, please let me know!
You are the long winding road The light in the mountain fog I ‘m the child that’s there walking in your gaze You are the soft moonlit breeze I ‘m your coddled, cared for dream Whether by my side or far away you are near And I will love the world you always loved Be the smile you ‘re dreaming of Your hand guides me along the way Into a brighter day If you say your work brought my happiness I will aim for your success Hope not in vain we bravely strain A chance in every day You are the years of my life Burning stars in the sky I gaze from afar , transform your blaze to song You are all that I am And are all that I will be Every road I take will lead me back to you I will love the world you’ve always loved Be the smile you’re dreaming of Your hand guides me along the road To what tomorrow holds If you say your work brought my happiness I will dream to be your bliss Hope not in vain we bravely strain A chance in every day Nature unfazed, as fires rage But then there’s your long yearning gaze Children each day, sleep peacefully Like your love that’s here in me And I will dream your dream to meat again Hope your hope forever then Walk your road till my last day I’ll love you in this way And I will see the world you haven’t seen Be the bard you could have been The evening moon, my heart’s memories You’re always in the breeze Forever near, more than a trace As clear as your young face
Bravo Michael! That's amazing! It's poetic. It maintains all the literary senses and rhymes where it should. I am impressed! I don't think there can be any better translation for this song than yours.
Man, you made me drop my tears. I think you understand the bitter and sadness of the mind this song has. Your understanding is the greatest thing to the one you sing to. Gratitude to you for this record, thank you.
Michael, You've done an excellent & superb job. I completely agree and echo all the comments made by the previous listeners .... your deep understanding of the feelings of the song and translate these to English. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much @arthurhui4481! It is one of my deepest pleasures to connect people across cultural bounds - what better way than music? Let me know if you have any song recommendations that you think tell a great story (so many in Mandarin!!!). Thank you!
this song has always brought me to tears because it reminds me of my grandpa every time. The english lyrics you wrote "I will love the world you have always loved, be the smile you have been dreaming of. if you say your work brought my happiness, i will see the world you haven't seen" are so accurate both literally and emotionally. Great job!
Thank you so much😊! It means a lot that you were able to connect to them so deeply. Have a great week, and let me know if there is another song you would like to hear!
Make me tear drop. You deeply understand the meaning of Chinese lyrics. I think you also understand what the Chinese nation has experienced. Thank you.
This theme song was from the movie My Country My Parents. The song indicates the appreciation to the prior generations’ all their hardships and sacrifices for the current generation❤

I just come across your English cover of this song. I have to say I have seen more beautiful and poetic translation of the lyric but they cannot be sung. Yours is very truthful to the Chinese lyric and it is a song as the original, not a poem. Good work.
i like this song deeply despite dont understand the mandarin. But you sir, provide the alternative, same song with nice voice and language i could understand. Really thank you sir!
It's my pleasure! I'm so glad that I could help you better connect with a song you love. Let me know if you have another song you'd like to hear translated. I'm always looking for Baritone (lower male voice) ideas!

父辈们经历百年苦难，他们希望把所有的苦都承担，只愿他们的孩子们能以后过上好日子。
这首歌是孩子们生活在和平很幸福的现在，用歌声，希望告诉和感谢已经付出生命父辈们，他们已经生活在父辈们所期待的时代。
孩子们也告诉父辈，他们和父辈的愿望一样，希望世界变得更加美好。
😢 淚目
我们这辈人要努力建设好当下的社会，因为前辈们还会来轮回投胎回来的，让他们好好享受。
聽到這首歌曲，讓我想起我的爺爺輩，我的伯父，為了未來的盛世犧牲在不同的時期的戰場上，我不禁止不住淚水。清澈的愛，只為中國！！！
衷心感激長輩們的無私奉獻 🙏🏻 我們這一代及以後的世世代代 都一定要緊守家園，珍惜得來不易的一切！💪🏻🍀🇨🇳

翻譯未算滿分 但已經很不錯了。也讚！👍🏻😊
You are a genius! Not only you translated the lyrics literally but also its meaning fully. My mind is blown and my soul is touched.
That is really, really kind! Thank you so much!
You are the long winding road
The light in the mountain fog
I ‘m the child that’s there walking in your gaze
You are the soft moonlit breeze
I ‘m your coddled, cared for dream
Whether by my side or far away you are near
And I will love the world you always loved
Be the smile you ‘re dreaming of
Your hand guides me along the way
Into a brighter day
If you say your work brought my happiness
I will aim for your success
Hope not in vain we bravely strain
A chance in every day
You are the years of my life
Burning stars in the sky
I gaze from afar , transform your blaze to song
You are all that I am
And are all that I will be
Every road I take will lead me back to you
I will love the world you’ve always loved
Be the smile you’re dreaming of
Your hand guides me along the road
To what tomorrow holds
If you say your work brought my happiness
I will dream to be your bliss
Hope not in vain we bravely strain
A chance in every day
Nature unfazed, as fires rage
But then there’s your long yearning gaze
Children each day, sleep peacefully
Like your love that’s here in me
And I will dream your dream to meat again
Hope your hope forever then
Walk your road till my last day
I’ll love you in this way
And I will see the world you haven’t seen
Be the bard you could have been
The evening moon, my heart’s memories
You’re always in the breeze
Forever near, more than a trace
As clear as your young face
Thanks for that Leo! Appreciate it!

For this song, I think Nicky Byrne should start the song.
I was watching red note on RUclips and you pop up on my screen. WOW, WOW you are excellent singer. Watching from Toronto Canada and a new subscriber.
Thanks - this song grows another layer of grace because of your singing with English lyrics.

好棒的翻译，想提两个小建议。一是“如果说 你曾苦过我的甜”这句，“如果说”并不是“如果你说”，后者会有一种“你”在展示自己的功劳的感觉，但这应该是一种默默的不求回报的付出。这个“如果说”是“如果”的比较口语化的表达，而不是真的有个人在说。二是“可是你如愿的眺望”这句，“可是”的意思应该是“是否是”，而不是“但是”，这是一种偏古文的表达方式，现代口语中不会这么说。假如这里是“但是”的意思的话，一来和前面一句语意上难以衔接，很难解释这里为什么要转折；二来这样的话“你如愿的眺望”就是个主谓格式，“的”应该用“地”才对，但实际上“眺望”是“可是（是否是）”的表语，所以前面用“的”。
Your voice in this song is somehow different with your normal voice in other clips 😉, very emotional song and nice singing btw. Thank you very much 😁
小麦，你应该上传你自己的英文版伴奏，让喜欢你的人都可以跟着你一起唱😉特别棒，我鸡皮疙瘩都起来了❤
雞皮疙瘩，同起！！！
讚同❤
What a beautiful song!
你唱的歌(如願)英文歌曲特別特別非常非常好好好聽👍👍👍👍👍
“山河无恙，烟火寻常，可是你如愿的眺望”翻译成“nature unglazed, as fires rage, but then there's your long yearning gaze”略微失了原意。整体感受和韵律非常棒！谢谢你的创作！
翻译者没有正确理解 【人间烟火】的中文意思，烟火寻常应该是【国泰民安】的意思，而非 as fires rage，正好搞反了。翻译者的母语显然是英文，而且他的英文功底很强，但是对于中文的理解，他身边没有人（中文为母语的）审核，留下遗憾。Edit： 希望有更正的改版。
