红豆 Red Beans  (by: 王菲 Faye Wong) 

Melody by 柳重言  
Lyrics by 林夕

还没好好的感受 Hái méi hǎohǎo de gǎnshòu
雪花绽放的气候 xuěhuā zhànfàng de qìhòu
我们一起颤抖 wǒmen yīqǐ chàndǒu
会更明白 什么是温柔 huì gèng míngbái shénme shì wēnróu
还没跟你牵著手 hái méi gēn nǐ qiān zhuóshǒu
走过荒芜的沙丘 zǒuguò huāngwú de shāqiū
可能从此以後 学会珍惜 kěnéng cóngcǐ yǐhòu xuéhuì zhēnxī
天长和地久 tiāncháng hé dì jiǔ
有时候 有时候 yǒu shíhòu yǒu shíhòu
我会相信一切有尽头 wǒ huì xiāngxìn yīqiè yǒu jìntóu
相聚离开 都有时候 xiāngjù líkāi dōu yǒu shíhòu
没有什么会永垂不朽 méiyǒu shé me huì yǒngchuíbùxiǔ
可是我 有时候 kěshì wǒ yǒu shíhòu
宁愿选择留恋不放手 nìngyuàn xuǎnzé liúliàn bù fàngshǒu
等到风景都看透 děngdào fēngjǐng dōu kàntòu
也许你会陪我 看细水长流 yěxǔ nǐ huì péi wǒ kàn xìshuǐchángliú
(music) (yīnyuè)
还没为你把红豆 hái méi wèi nǐ bǎ hóngdòu
熬成缠绵的伤口 áo chéng chánmián de shāngkǒu
然後一起分享 ránhòu yīqǐ fēnxiǎng
会更明白 相思的哀愁 huì gèng míngbái xiàng sī de āichóu
还没好好的感受 hái méi hǎohǎo de gǎnshòu
醒著亲吻的温柔 xǐngzhe qīnwěn de wēnróu
可能在我左右 kěnéng zài wǒ zuǒyòu
你才追求 孤独的自由 nǐ cái zhuīqiú gūdú de zìyóu
有时候 有时候 yǒu shíhòu yǒu shíhòu
我会相信一切有尽头 wǒ huì xiāngxìn yīqiè yǒu jìntóu
相聚离开 都有时候 xiāngjù líkāi dōu yǒu shíhòu
没有什么会永垂不朽 méiyǒu shé me huì yǒngchuíbùxiǔ
可是我 有时候 kěshì wǒ yǒu shíhòu
宁愿选择留恋不放手 nìngyuàn xuǎnzé liúliàn bù fàngshǒu
等到风景都看透 děngdào fēngjǐng dōu kàntòu
也许你会陪我 看细水长流 yěxǔ nǐ huì péi wǒ kàn xìshuǐchángliú
(music) (yīnyuè)
有时候 有时候 yǒu shíhòu yǒu shíhòu
我会相信一切有尽头 wǒ huì xiāngxìn yīqiè yǒu jìntóu
相聚离开 都有时候 xiāngjù líkāi dōu yǒu shíhòu
没有什么会永垂不朽 méiyǒu shé me huì yǒngchuíbùxiǔ
可是我 有时候 kěshì wǒ yǒu shíhòu
宁愿选择留恋不放手 nìngyuàn xuǎnzé liúliàn bù fàngshǒu
等到风景都看透 děngdào fēngjǐng dōu kàntòu
也许你会陪我 看细水长流 yěxǔ nǐ huì péi wǒ kàn xìshuǐchángliú

Cultural Notes:
"Red beans symbolize love and fidelity. Today, in countries such as China and Taiwan, men often give red beans to their lovers to show their commitment to the relationship. For a woman, thus, red beans symbolizes happiness. Brides wear jewelry made from red beans on the wrist or neck, so that she and her husband will live a happy life together. It is also a cultural belief, that if married couples put six red beans underneath each of their pillows, their love will remain throughout eternity." [read more]
