王伟庆 (Khanh) - 新鸳鸯蝴蝶梦 (New Mandarin Duck Butterfly Dream) Video

This was originally uploaded on August 22, 2009 on my timizhuofan1 channel.

This is my last rendition before I go back to school... When I get back on the 2nd of September, renditions will be less frequent since I will be too preoccupied with my school work to be editing videos... This song was suggested by Tony (MrTonyTV1) so here it is! :) Hope you all like my very own rendition of it and all the effects that I tried.

Excuse all mistakes and errors in this MV! I recorded this video in the late afternoon so, yes, it might seem a little too light when I pretended to go to bed! haha. The clothes I wore for this rendition is a Vietnamese traditional Ao Dai. I was at my grandparents' house and had only that available! I could've also learned how to sing this song in Vietnamese but I was a bit in a rush and didn't get time to practice... The yellow butterfly clips were all taken by me earlier in the summertime... We rarely see butterflies here in Washington but when we do, we all go crazy about them!! Washington is too wet for butterflies. The clips of the lake, the bear, and the black butterfly on the red flower were all "sample videos" included in my laptop upon purchase. I filmed this rendition myself since my sister wasn't available! Last thing I should mention is that I have not done Kung Fu since I was 8 years old and I am VERY rusty at it. The clips of the martial arts are just my "failed attempts"... haha.

Timi's cover of this song was released in her 1999 album 蜕变3 谜 (Transformation 3 Mystery). This was composed in 1993 and sung by the Taiwanese artist, Huang An (黄安). The English version is entitled Can't Let Go. The Vietnamese version is Mộng Uyên Ương Hồ Điệp.

Thanks to hkship3 for the English translation! The translations on the subtitles on the video was slightly edited by me.

Lyrics:

作詞：黃安 (Huang An)　作曲：黃安　編曲：詹宏達

昨日像那東流水　離我遠去不可留
Yesterday is like that river running to the East, faraway, leaving me behind.

今日亂我心　多煩憂
Today troubles my heart, so much weariness.

抽刀斷水水更流　
Sever the water with a drawn sword but the water keeps running.

舉杯消愁愁更愁
Raise the glass to drown the sorrow but the sorrow begets more sorrow.

明朝清風四飄流
Tomorrow morning clear wind drifts everywhere.

由來只有新人笑　有誰聽到舊人哭
Often there is the smile of the new person. Who has heard of weeping of the old one?

愛情兩個字　好辛苦
Love and affection these two words, very painful.

是要問一個明白　還是要裝作糊塗
Should have asked for a complete understanding, or pretended to be muddled?　

知多知少難知足
Knowing more knowing less hard to know enough.

看似個鴛鴦蝴蝶　不應該的年代
Looks like Mandarin duck butterfly, not the era to be.

可是誰又能擺脫人世間的悲哀
But who can shed the misgivings of the human sphere?

花花世界　鴛鴦蝴蝶　在人間已是癲
This insincere World, Mandarin duck butterfly, already insane on Earth,

何苦要上青天　不如溫柔同眠
Why then want to be in Heaven? Might as well sleep together gently tenderly.
