Shuo Huang -- Yoga Lin

A friend of mine intro-ed this song to me quite a WHILE ago... To this very day, it irked me like hell. I mean seriously.

What the fuck is the meaning of this song?

Here's the song lyrics which I got from somewhere painstakingly typed. In chinese, and hanyu pinyin for your reading pleasure =)

-----------------------------------------------------
是有过几个不错对象
shi you guo ji ge bu cuo dui xiang
说起来并不寂寞孤单
shuo qi lai bing bu ji mo gu dan
可能我浪荡 让人家不安
ke neng wo lang dang rang ren jia bu an
才会结果都陣亡
cai hui jie guo dou zhen wang
我没有什么阴影魔障
wo mei you shen me yin ying mo zhang
你千万不要放在心上
ni qian wan bu yao fang zai xin shang
我又不脆弱 何况那算什么伤
wo you bu cui ruo he kuang na suan shen me shang
反正爱情不就都这样
fan zheng ai qing bu jiu dou zhe yang

我没有说谎 我何必说谎
wo mei you shuo huang, wo he bi shuo huang
你懂我的
ni dong wo de
我对你从来就不会假装
wo dui ni cong lai jiu bu hui jia zhuang
我哪有说谎
wo na you shuo huang
请别以为你有多难忘
qing bie yi wei ni you duo nan wang
笑是 真的不是我逞强
xiao shi zhen de bu shi wo cheng qiang

我好久没来这间餐厅
wo hao jiu mei lai zhe jian can ting
没想到已经换了装潢
mei xiang dao yi jing huan le zhuang huang
角落那窗口
jiao luo na chuang kou
闻得到玫瑰花香
wen de dao mei gui hua xiang
被你一说是有些影响（印象)
bei ni yi shuo shi you xie ying xiang yin xiang

我没有说谎
wo mei you shuo huang
我何必说谎
wo he bi shuo huang
你知道的
ni zhi dao de
我缺点之一就是很健忘
wo que dian zhi yi jiu shi hen jian wang
我哪有说谎
wo na you shuo huang
是很感谢今晚的 相伴
shi hen gan xie jin wan de xiang ban
但我竟然有些不习惯
dan wo jing ran you xie bu xi guan

我没有说谎 我何必说谎
wo mei you shuo huang wo he bi shuo huang
爱一个人没爱到难道就会怎么样
ai yi ge ren mei ai dao nan dao jiu hui zen me yang
别说我说谎 人生已经如此
bie shuo wo shuo huang ren sheng yi jing ru ci
的艰难
de jian nan
有些事情就不要拆穿
you xie shi qing jiu bu yao chai chuan

我没有说谎 是爱情说谎
wo mei you shuo huang shi ai qing shuo huang
它带你来 骗我说
ta dai ni lai pian wo shuo
渴望的有可能有希望
ke wang de you ke neng you xi wang
我没有说谎
wo mei you shuo huang
祝你做 个幸福的新娘
zhu ni zuo ge xing fu de xin niang
我的心事请你全遗忘
wo de xin shi qing ni quan yi wang

The song is depressingly depressing. I know the meaning of each sentence. But as a whole, I don't get what the song's trying to say. So I listen to it time and time again... And got depressed. =(




Well anyway, here's my translation of this song =)
------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I did experience a few good relationships.
So yeah, I guess I wasn't lonely.
Perhaps cuz I keep hanging around, and make others feel uneasy.
Causing me to always lose out in the end.


I never was under any bad influence.
So please don't take it to heart.
I'm not weak.
Besides, that doesn't hurt as bad.
Also, relationships're always like this, right?


I'm not lying. Why should I lie?
You know me. I'll never ever lie to you.
When did I lie?
Please don't have this impression that you've many outstanding qualities.
My smiles are really all genuine.


I've not been to this restaurant for a long time.
I did not realise that it looks different now.
From that window around the corner,
I could smell the fragrance of roses.
And it affected me more when you mentioned it.


I'm not lying. Why should I lie?
You should know, that being forgetful is one of my weak points.
When did I lie?
I'm really thankful for you accompanying me tonight.
But I'm just not used to it.


I'm not lying. Why should I lie?
SO WHAT if you love someone, and not get loved back?
Don't say that I'm lying.
Life is already so difficult.
Some things are not meant to be exposed.


I'm not lying. IT'S LOVE THAT LIED!
It brought you here, and lied to me, saying
"YOU CAN DO IT! IT'S POSSIBLE! THERE'S HOPE!"
I'm not lying. I hope that you'll be a really happy bride.

*long pause*


As for my problems, please forget them...

Ok so here're my questions

1) What's the singer trying to express?
2) What's he lying about? Why'd he keep saying that he's lying?
3) So this is a breakup song. Who broke up with who? What happened?

Also, this song is freaking tough to sing. The pitches go all over. =.=
