We’re continuing our countdown of the top Chinese songs of 2018 with five more tunes. Go back and check out Part One in case you missed it. Once again, I did my best to find the official music videos, lyrics in simplified Chinese, pinyin, and English, and a KTV-style video for you to sing along to.

Eason Chan (陈奕迅 – chén yì xùn)
“Us” (我们 – wǒ men)

该说的 别说了 你懂得 就够了
真的有 某一种悲哀
连泪也不能流 只能 目送

我最大的遗憾 是你的遗憾 与我有关
没有句点 已经很完美了
何必误会 故事 没说完

还能做什么呢 我连伤感 都是 奢侈的
我一想念 你就那么近
但终究 你都不能 陪我到 回不去的 远方

原来我很快乐 只是不愿承认
在我怀疑 世界时 你给过我 答案

我最大的遗憾 是你的遗憾 与我有关
没有句点 已经很完美了
何必误会 故事 没说完

还能做什么呢 我连伤感 都是 奢侈的
我一想念 你就那么近
但终究 你都不能 陪我到 回不去的 远方

原来我很快乐 只是不愿承认
在我怀疑 世界时 你给过我 答案

我感觉到幸福 是看见你幸福
曾经亲手把时间变慢
可惜我们 没有等 我们

Don’t say anything what I have to say.
It’s enough if you understand it.
It really has a certain kind of sorrow,
I even cannot have tears,
I can only look at you and let go.

My biggest regret
that it’s your regret about me.
It has been perfect if there is no ending.
Why do we misunderstand
that the story isn’t finished yet.

What else can I do?
It’s extravagant, even though I’m sad.
You’re so close when I miss you.
But after all, you can’t be with me
and return to the place where is gone.

Actually I was very happy.
And I just didn’t want to admit that
when I doubted the world,
you had given me the answer.

I had felt the happiness
when I saw you were happy.
I used to slow down my time.
Unfortunately, we didn’t wait for us.

LuHan (鹿晗 – lù hán)
“Time Stopped” (时间停了 – shí jiān tíng le)

天也黑了时间停了
那些故事不用再说了
一夜长大之后的我
还有一句没说的抱歉要说
有很多的诺言没兑现
已开始的冒险没终点
回忆变清楚
眼睛却开始变模糊
请别戳破藏起的脆弱
美好的经过想要你记得
迷路的我还继续漂泊
也许会曲折但有你才值得
可能现在你不快乐
可能那些伤口都还没愈合
后来我也学着沉默
学着面对遗憾不愿再去说
脑海里对不起循环着
那一段我一直收藏着
害怕睁开眼回忆就已经飞走了
请别戳破藏起的脆弱
美好的经过想要你记得
迷路的我还继续漂泊
也许会曲折但有你才值得
这一切我们走过走过
但我竟然迷路了
在熟悉的角落
有些话还没说够
想为你唱完这一首歌
这些时刻你总会记得
也许会曲折但有你才值得
请别戳破藏起的脆弱
美好的经过想要你记得
迷路的我还继续漂泊
我永远记得属于我们的每一刻

It’s getting dark and time stopped
Don’t need to say anything about it
I’m not the same as yesterday
Just one more thing I want to say is I’m sorry
I could keep the promises
Our adventure will never end
Memories getting clear
But my eyes getting misty

Please don’t expose my hidden fragility
Just want you to remember those moments
I am lost and wandering
Worth to do it only if I had you

Maybe you are still sad
Maybe you are still bleeding
Then I learned to be still
Learned not to complain about regret
The apology keeps repeating
I kept the memories for all this time
Which I am afraid to lose it once I open my eyes

Please don’t expose my hidden fragility
Just want you to remember those moments
I am lost and wandering
Worth to do it only if I had you

Everything we walked through
But I lost my way
At the corner we are both familiar with
Some words I want to say to you
This song I want to sing for you
You could remember this moment
Worth to do it only if I had you

Please don’t expose my hidden fragility
Just want you to remember those moments
I am lost and wandering
I will always remember every single moment belongs to us

 

Lay Zhang (张艺兴 – zhāng yì xìng)
“Namanana” (梦不落雨林 – mèng bù luò yǔ lín)

*This is an interesting song title. It’s usually listed simply as “Namanana” (you’ll soon see why), but the Chinese name actually means “Dreams Don’t Fall in the Rainforest.” How poetic!

Little Big Us (偉大的渺小 – wěi dà de miǎo xiǎo)

一朵玫瑰被刺围绕
也许它也渴望拥抱
海豚脸上总有微笑
也许泪被大海洗掉
是不让人知道

你我幸福或难熬
好或糟
藏进外表的孤傲

其实我想要
一种美梦睡不着
一种心脏的狂跳
瓦解界线不被撂倒 奔跑 依靠
我心中最想要
看你看过的浪潮
陪你放肆地年少
从你眼神能找到 解药

宇宙一丝一毫
伟大并非凑巧
我～握的手握好

我～或许很渺小
也绝不逃

夜晚星辰高调闪耀
也许是最后的燃烧 喔
候鸟能自由飞得高
也许是流浪的符号
可是谁又知道

你我曾有过煎熬
把客套
捍卫仅有的骄傲

其实我想要
一种美梦睡不着
一种心脏的狂跳
瓦解界线不被撂倒 奔跑 依靠
我心中最想要
看你看过的浪潮
陪你放肆地年少
从你眼神能找到 解药

宇宙一丝一毫
伟大并非凑巧
我～握的手握好
我～或许很渺小 喔

那之前我要
抱你在逆流人潮
懂你每个泪和笑
从你故事中找到 美妙

努力不会徒劳
爱并非凑巧
我们握的手握好
我们就算很渺小
也绝不逃

握的手握好
我有多渺小
也做得到

A rose is surrounded by thorns
Maybe it also longs for an embrace
There’s always a smile on a dolphin’s face
Maybe the ocean has washed away its tears
It won’t let people know

Whether we’re happy or suffering
Whether it’s good or bad
It’s hidden under our prideful exterior

Actually I want
A beautiful dream that makes it so I can’t fall asleep
A heart that beats madly
To disintegrate the limits, to not be knocked down, to run, to rely on
What I want most in my heart
Is to see the waves you’ve seen
To frolic with you in our youth
To find the antidote in your eyes

Every bit and piece of the universe
Being big really isn’t luck
I hold on tightly to the hand I’m holding on to
I might be really small
But I absolutely will not run away

The stars sparkle prominently in the night
Maybe it’s the last time they will ignite
Migratory birds can freely fly high
Maybe it’s a sign of wandering
But who knows

What you and I once suffered
Grasp the polite greetings
Safeguard the pride that you have

Actually I want
A beautiful dream that makes it so I can’t fall asleep
A heart that beats madly
To disintegrate the limits, to not be knocked down, to run, to rely on
What I want most in my heart
Is to see the waves you’ve seen
To frolic with you in our youth
To find the antidote in your eyes

Every bit and piece of the universe
Being big really isn’t luck
I hold on tightly to the hand I’m holding on to
I might be really small

Before, I wanted
To carry you against the tide of people
To understand all your tears and smiles
To find beauty in your story

Effort won’t be futile
Love really isn’t luck
We have to hold on tightly to the hand we’re holding on to
Even though we’re small
We absolutely will not run away

Hold on tightly to the hand you’re holding on to
I am small in many ways
But I can still do it
