Translator’s Notes:

*(I am so sorry this took so long to post…)

*(I do not own the lyrics to this song – the lyrics belong to the writers. I typed the lyrics myself using Google Translate. 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”)

*(Throughout the song, in the Pinyin, every time you see “一” (Yi) written with either the second tone (í) or forth tone (ì) instead of the standard first tone (ī), it is because the character following it changes the pronunciation. “一” is standardly pronounced with the first tone in Mandarin, except for when it is followed by a character that is pronounced with the first, second, third, or fourth tone. If “一” is followed by a character pronounced with the fourth tone, then the pronunciation for “一” will be changed to the second tone, “Yí” and when “一” is followed by a character with the first, second, or third tone, its pronunciation will change to the fourth tone “Yì”. I changed the pronunciation each time this happened, for example, “一樣” (Yí Yàng) and “一場” (Yì Chǎng).)

*(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 “就是愛” (Jiù Shì Ài) and it means “It’s Love”.)

*(In the line, “秘密全告訴我（靠近我 /// 靠近我）”, “告訴” (Gào Sù) is also pronounced “Gào Su”.)

*(The word “時候” (Shí Hòu) is also pronounced “Shí Hou” and the word “朋友” (Péng Yǒu) is also pronounced “Péng You”.)

*(In the line, “精神變玻璃 /// 破碎明顯” “玻璃” (Bō Lí) is also pronounced “Bō Li”. “Bō Li” is Mainland/China pronunciation and “Bō Lí” is Taiwan pronunciation.)

*(In the line, “想說的話也 hold 住在嘴邊（歐巴歐巴）”, “歐巴” (Ōu Bā) is the Chinese transliteration of the Korean word “오빠” (Oppa) and the characters “歐” and “巴” are also the first two characters in the transliteration of Barack Obama’s name “歐巴馬” (Ōu Bā Mā) lol!)

*(In the line, “從喜歡你的那 /// 第一秒鐘”, “喜歡” (Xǐ Huān) is also pronounced “Xǐ Huan”. Also, for an added fun fact, in Cantonese, saying “歡喜” (Fun1 Hei2) is preferred over “喜歡” (Hei2 Fun1) and the words “鍾意” (Zung1 Ji3) and “中意” (Zung1 Ji3) which both are synonyms of “Xi Huan/Hei Fun/Fun Hei” and mean “To Like/Be Fond of” are preferred over “喜歡” in spoken Cantonese. And also, “中意” is less commonly used and preferred than “鍾意” because “中意” is more standard and “Mandarin” and is more specific to love and other romantic feelings, whereas “鍾意” has a broader meaning.)

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