Translator’s Notes:

*(I was looking at a few other translations of this song, and I noticed that they all had all of the Chinese lyrics posted, but they didn’t translate every line. The second verse and the last few lines of the first and last chorus were completely left out, which I though was weird, so decided to translate the whole song. The lyrics for this song are so nice though! I also watched the music video and this drama looks so good! I’m so excited for it to air!)

*(I do not own the lyrics to this song – the lyrics belong to the writers. I used the Hanyu lyrics provided in the MV on the official Youtube video to translate the song. I did the Pinyin and Translation myself, however. I use Traditional Chinese characters just like they do in Taiwan because I prefer them to Simplified and I taught myself Chinese using Traditional characters. Please note that Chinese is not my first language so at times, my translations might be off, too literal, or wrong. I’m still learning, and I translate songs to gain experience, so I apologize in advance for any errors ^^)

*(To translate songs, I use an online Mandarin dictionary, an online Cantonese dictionary (it is a Canto-Mando, Mando-Canto, Canto-Eng, Mando-Eng, Pinyin-Jyutping, etc., dictionary and is VERY explanatory) and a paperback Mandarin dictionary.)

*(All the awkward spacing in the Pinyin is to show the different words. It is color-coded on my computer, but I can’t keep the colors T-T)

*(When a part of the translation is in parentheses, it means that that word is implied to make the translation sound better in English. Words will be implied because Chinese is much more vague than English and sometimes doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when translated literally.)

*(Throughout the song, in the Pinyin, every time you see “不” (Bu) written with the second tone (ú) instead of the standard fourth tone (ù), it is because the character following it is also pronounced with the fourth tone. “不” is standardly pronounced with the fourth tone in Mandarin, except for when it is followed by another character of the fourth tone, in which case its pronunciation changes to tone two. I changed the pronunciation each time this happened, for example, “Bú Shì”)

*(For the character “誰” (Shei/Shui), “Shéi” is the standard pronunciation and “Shuí” is the variant. I personally have never heard a native Chinese speaker use “Shui” but I have heard those who have learned Chinese as a second language use it (for example, the Korean members of EXO-M and Super Junior-M use “Shui”). Either pronunciation is correct, I just prefer to use “Shei” and it is what is said in the lyrics.)

*(The Chinese title of this song is “妳幸福就好” (Nǐ Xìng Fú Jiù Hǎo) and it has a few different literal translations. I used, “As long as you’re happy, it’s fine” in the lyrics but it can also mean: “As long as you’re happy, I’m fine,“ “I’m fine as long as you’re happy,” “It’s fine as long as you’re happy,” “If you’re happy, (it’s/I’m) fine,” or “Your happiness is enough.” This is a bit hard to translate into English because it’s too vague for English structure, so there are many ways to translate this to get the same point across.)

*(In the line, “但是妳值得擁有 /// 愛的自由”, “值得” (Zhí Dé) is also pronounced “Zhí De” and “擁有” (Yong You) has two pronunciations: “Yǒng Yǒu” is Taiwan pronunciation and “Yōng Yǒu” is Mainland/China pronunciation.)

*(In the line, “只要妳能好好過”, I believe that “好好過” (Hǎo Hǎo Guò) can be translated a few different ways. I translated it as “To move on” because I think this fits the context of moving on after a loved one leaves – or in the drama’s case – dies but it can also be translated as “Live well.”)

*(In the line, “寂寞的 /// 只要一個我”, “寂寞” (Ji Mo) has two pronunciations: “Jì Mò” is Mainland/China pronunciation and “Jí Mò” is Taiwan pronunciation.)

*(I hope you all liked my translation. Please do not edit my translation and please credit me if you would like to use it.
