Amit 阿密特 - Hó Táⁿ Lí Tio̍h Lâi 好膽你就來 Come If You Dare translation

The best song of the past year! According to the Taiwanese Grammys, the Golden Melody Awards, that is. I quite like it.

I had a lot of help with this translation.

The transliteration into POJ comes from here. I do not take any credit for it.

Rex on Lang-8 helped tons, by translating difficult lines into Mandarin for me and talking with me about my translation. Thanks very much.

Part of a series of Golden Melody Award winners! Amei won best album, best artist, and a lot more. I am working with some Taiwanese speakers to translate the song that won best song, so look forward to that, maybe?

你的頭長在哪邊	where's your head?
怎麼不在脖子上面	how come it's not on your neck?
我被你晾了一夜	you left me out to dry for a night
早餐配著你的黑輪	I ate oden with you in the morning
陪你看警匪片　學會以眼還眼	I learned "eye for an eye" watching crime films with you
我不還嘴　是正在　醞釀一舉攻堅	when I don't talk back it's because an attack is brewing
對你的笑 藏冷箭	to your smile, hiding cold arrows
你說的　那家店　明明全面禁菸	you said that place obviously forbids smoking
你的宵夜　到底在　哪個家裡解決	so you decided to get your midnight snack there
沾了一頭　菸臭味	enveloped in a cloud of stinking tobacco
＃黑吃黑 鬼咬鬼	#black eats black, ghost bites ghost
愛演我陪你演	you like to play, I'll play with you
是哪個妹　又被騙	it's that girl who's the one getting fooled
躺著給你安慰	into lying down to give you comfort
有夠可憐	how pathetic!
我超想見她一面	I so wanna take a look at her
黑吃黑 鬼咬鬼	black eats black, ghost bites ghost
愛演我陪你演	you like to play, I'll play with you
是我也想　惦一惦	it's me who wants to have a try
我有多少極限	and find out how many limits I have
你的謊言　是我的飯後消遣	your lies are how I pass the time after dinner
IT'S BULLSHIT	IT'S BULLSHIT
現在是西元幾年	what year is it AD now?
還把劈腿當作表現	we're still treating two-timing as something to show off
愛不愛一念之間	to love or not within an instant
不過就是一句再見	but it's just a goodbye
折磨你　打哈欠　還得陪我上街	tormented by yawns you still go shopping with me
然後半夜　摸著黑　上別條船搞鬼	later, at midnight, you grope in the dark, to do a number on the other girl1
黑夜白天　都別睡	whether at night or during the day, you won't sleep
你放心　我絕對　永遠笑容滿面	relax, I'm definitely always gonna be smiling ear to ear
找到一天　跟你說　我的耐心有限	but you'll find one day I'm gonna tell you my patience is finite
少在那邊　想挽回	cut it out, you'd better pull back
repeat ＃	REPEAT #
少在那邊	cut it out
你的專業謊言　對我是種表演	your professional lies are a kind of performance to me
少在那邊	cut it out
你的專業眼淚　對我是種笑點	your professional tears are a kind of joke to me
少在那邊	cut it out
你的專業犯罪　對我是種磨練	your professional crimes are a kind of endurance test to me
少在那邊	cut it out
準備滾到一邊	or get ready to get knocked to the side

1. In Chinese, one of the slang for "two-timing" is "having a foot each on two boats". The end of this line is literally "getting on your other boat to make some mischief".

funny old world ain't it

A while ago I did a translation of "Sha Po Lang" by JS and I mentioned that I was putting "translation" in the titles now because Google thought that would be helpful. As a joke, I wrote "CPOP TRANSLATIONS CPOP TRANSLATIONS CPOP TRANSLATIONS."

I just did a search on Google for "cpop translations", because I wanted to find other websites that were translating cpop. Guess who's little blog is #4? Guess what post it specifically links to?

Yep and yep.

The even funnier thing: The first page also had a link to another page which mentioned a "Sha Po Lang" translation!

Conclusion: Google really likes "Sha Po Lang."

And now, some blatant keyword begging:

Lisa*Djaati - 烏雲 Wuyun Black Cloud translation

Pinyin is done by hand and I tend to make typos when I do it that way. I just caught myself making the typo "wuhui" for "wuyun", which doesn't make any sense, but is kind of hilarious, because "wuhui" could be 誤會, which means "to mistake, to misunderstand". Appropriate for a typo!

You can buy this album here. Remember when Taiwanese albums were cheap? I miss those days.

A truly beautiful song.
