Nothing I Have
- Love is love even for those penniless, translated by Yiyan Han (c) 2020-11-21
A popular Chinese rock’n’roll by Mr CUI Jian (崔健) in 1980's and 90's. My initial translation finished on 2015-12-16. The subtitle is added by the translator.
I've repeatedly asked
when you'll run away with me
But you always laugh at -
nothing I’ve got
I’d like to give up my pursuing
‘n’ my freedom for thee
But you always laugh at -
nothing worth it
Oh … when you'll run away with me
Oh … when you'll run away with me
The ground under my feet is moving
‘n’ the water around me is rotating
But you always laugh at -
nothing I’ve got
Why do you keep laughing
Why do I keep pursuing
Is it in front of thee
I’m always nothing
Oh … when you'll run away with me
Oh … when you'll run away with me
(The ground under my feet is moving
‘n’ the water around me is rotating)
Tell thee I've waited far too long
‘n’ tell thee my last wish before I'm done -
I want to grab your hands
‘n’ you'd run away with me
Feel your hands are shaking
‘n’ see your tears are dropping
Is this you're telling me -
you love I’m penniless
Oh … now you'd run away with me
Oh … now you'd run away with me
(The ground under my feet is moving
‘n’ the water around me is rotating)
Oh … now you'd run away with me
Oh … now you'd run away with me
