A Simple Song

这世界很复杂
混淆我想说的话
我不懂
太复杂的玩法
什么样的礼物
能够永远记得住
让幸福别走的太仓促

This complicated world,
constantly twists what I want to say
I do not know
how to do things in a complicated way.
What kind of gift,
Will provide eternal remembrance,
And at the same time, allowing happiness to not fade too quickly.

云和天蝶和花
从来不需要说话
断不了依然日夜牵挂
唱情歌说情话
只想让你听清楚
我爱你是唯一的倾诉

The clouds and the skies, the butterfly and the flowers,
They never had to talk to each other,
regardless, they still miss each other every single day
Singing a love song, saying lovey dovey things,
All I want is for you to listen clearly,
'I love you' is the only thing I want to tell you.

写一首简单的歌
让你的心情快乐
爱情就像一条河
难免会碰到波折
这一首简单的歌
并没有什么独特
好像我
那么的平凡却又深刻

Write a simple song,
To make you happy.
Love is like a river,
We'll encounter waves from time to time.
This simple song,
there's nothing special about it,
Just like myself,
So normal, yet so deep.

我一直在思考
让你了解我的好
却忘了
常常对你微笑
失去的忘记的
我会尽力去弥补
你是我最珍贵的财富

I kept on thinking of ways,
To make you see the good in me,
But I forgotten,
To always smile to you.
What we've lost, and what we've forgotten,
I'll do my best to recover them,
You are my most cherished treasure.

Not exactly a very accurate translation of the whole song but you get the gist. LeeHom is seriously the best. The lyrics, if you understand Mandarin, are so subtle yet so touching.

Sometimes, we do not have to treat life as though it is some unattainable impossibility. We just need to see things in a more simple way, that's all.
