Nan Quan Mama's (南拳妈妈) new album "Treasure Map" (藏宝图) was released on 20 July 2007. With this album, they should be able to score an 'A' from Jay Chou. Most of the songs are written by themselves. It's difficult to find an album whereby every song catches your attention. Well, this is one.

I particularly like this song - Wu Xia (无瑕), which means Flawless. The lyrics is by Devon and the melody by Yu Hao, very poetic and beautifully written.

无瑕 - 南拳妈妈
Wu Xia - Nan Quan Ma Ma
Flawless - Nan Quan Ma Ma

(OS: 我会永远记得, 你曾带给我, 这段完美无瑕的日子)
(Wo Hui Yong Yuan Ji De, Ni Ceng Dai Gei Wo, Zhe Duan Wan Mei Wu Xia De Ri Zi)
I'll always remember, the flawless days you've brought me


落月下舀一杓天涯
Luo Yue Xia Yao Yi Shao Tian Ya
Under the sinking moon, scoop a ladle of the skyline

风刮泪无瑕
Feng Gua Lei Wu Xia
The wind blows, tears dried up

思念在 雨间 潇洒
Si Nian Zai Yu Jian Xiao Sa
In the rain, free the feelings of missing you

**
残雪中斟一杯牵挂
Can Xue Zhong Zhen Yi Bei Qian Gua
Among the remaining snow, pour a cup of care (concern about you)

曲罢愁无涯
Qu Ba Chou Wu Ya
The song ends, my sorrow is endless

爱恨在 心底 交杂
Ai Hen Zai Xin Di Jiao Za
Love and hatred intermix deep in my heart

怎奈烛火也燃不起 羸弱的记忆
Zen Nai Zhu Huo Ye Ran Bu Qi Lei Ruo De Ji Yi
Helplessly, the candle could not light up the frail memories

爱分隔天地要怎么爱你
Ai Fen Ge Tian Di Yao Zen Me Ai Ni
Love is separated by heaven and earth, how can I love you

Chorus

想种一朵无瑕 窗外篱笆
Xiang Zhong Yi Duo Wu Xia Chuang Wai Li Ba
Wish to plant a flawless (flower), outside the window, the fence

雨要怎么下
Yu Yao Zen Me Xia
How shall the rain fall?

离别时的晚霞 风还在刮
Li Bie Shi De Wan Xia Feng Hai Zai Gua
During the parting sunset, the wind was still blowing

谁为谁牵挂
Shui Wei Shui Qian Gua
Who is caring for whom?

想画一抹无瑕 墨怎么洒
Xiang Hua Yi Mo Wu Xia Mo Zen Me Sa
Wish to draw a flawless (picture), How shall I splash the ink

笔该怎么下
Bi Gai Zen Me Xia
How shall I start the paint brush

我送你的年华 还留着吗
Wo Song Ni De Nian Hua Hai Liu Zhe Ma
The years (memories) I gave you, still keeping it?

记载我俩的 无瑕
Ji Zai Wo Liang De Wu Xia
Inscribe our flawless (memories)

Fly's Tear Drops 苍蝇的泪滴


A special request from my friend, MrToilet, to translate this Mandarin song to English:

苍蝇的泪滴 - 林宇中
Cang Ying De Lei Di - Lin Yu Zhong
Fly's Tear Drops - Lin Yu Zhong

你的美丽像黑森林
Ni De Mei Li Xiang Hei Sen Lin
Your beauty is like the black forest

谁不着迷谁又靠得近
Shui Bu Zhao Mi Shui You Kao De Jin
Who won't be charmed? And who can get near?

温暖还是冰冷冷
Wen Nuan Hai Shi Leng Bing Bing
Warm or chilly cold
 
猜测下一秒你的天气
Cai Ce Xia Yi Miao Ni De Tian Qi
Guessing the next second, your weather (mood)

宝贝还是玩具
Bao Bei Hai Shi Wan Ju
Precious treasure or just a toy
 
我怀疑我自已
Wo Huai Yi Wo Zi Ji
I doubted myself

Chorus

戴苍蝇的眼镜
Dai Cang Ying De Yan Jing
Wearing spectacles of the fly
 
太多你数不清
Tai Duo Ni Shu Bu Qing
Too many of you, I lost count
 
一千种个性
Yi Qian Zhong Ge Xing
A thousand personalities
 
谁向谁说我爱你
Shui Xiang Shui Shuo Wo Ai Ni
Who says "I love you" to who?

你又不是垃圾
Ni You Bu Shi La Ji
You are not garbage
 
也没有长细菌
Ye Mei You Zhang Xi Jun
And has no bacteria
 
却让我生病
Que Rang Wo Sheng Bing
But I fall sick
 
亲一个让我痊愈
Qin Yi Ge Rang Wo Quan Yu
Give me a kiss to make me well

戴苍蝇的眼镜
Dai Cang Ying De Yan Jing
Wearing spectacles of the fly

看你举棋不定
Kan Ni Ju Qi Bu Ding
Seeing you so indecisive
 
一千颗泪滴
Yi Qian Ke Lei Di
A thousand tear drops
 
告诉我有多爱你
Gao Shu Wo You Duo Ai Ni
Telling me how much I love you

即使你没反应
Ji Shi Ni Mei Fan Ying
Even though you have no reactions
 
我想我也愿意
Wo Xiang Wo Ye Yuan Yi
I think I'm still willing
 
被一个温柔的表情
Bei Yi Ge Wen Rou De Biao Qing
To let a tender expression
 
骗我爱上你
Pian Wo Ai Shang Ni
Fools me into falling in love with you

I read an interview of Lin Yu Zhong by the China media, about his intuition when writing this song.

Lin Yu Zhong:
I got the intuition one day when a fly got into my room. Normally, as my room is high from ground, flies won't be able to get in easily. I thought, "This fly is cool, came by using the lift".

Sometimes I think about people who are not welcomed, just like flies. For example, guys around pretty lady, these guys will feel sad as they like the girl, but they are being described as flies. They will think, if they are really that lousy. I want to encourage these "flies", not to be sad, you'll find someone who likes you one day.

In the lyrics, I mentioned "Wearing spectacles of the fly". Fly has compound eyes, which are different from human, so when fly sees thing there are thousands or millions of images. When you see someone you like but she doesn't like you, you'll feel difficult to understand her. So, there'll be thousands of illusions, and the fly will eventually cries and thousands of tears will drop.

LOL. What a cute guy with his amazing imaginations! ^_^
