Anni Perka - Bitte melde dich lyrics & video

Anni Perka - Bitte melde dich (offizielles Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS-15hSpp2E
[Length: 3:44]

[I couldn't find the lyrics anywhere so I listened to the music video a couple of times and typed out the song text. It should be 90% accurate, but I'm sure I missed out something somewhere. Let me know about any mistakes and I'll correct them. Thanks.]

Ich hatte niemals gedacht das wieso was passiert
Das mein koolest Herz die verstandt und die kommt verliert
Ich weiß nicht vorhin das so führt
Große Gefühl taeg gefällt ist iniert
Was heiterem hier mö verliebt
Verrückt nach dir

Ab dich hat zu Augen verlor in der Hitze der Rat
Der Wai ja die ich alles der schönes gedacht
Der heb und mittags und gelacht
Die Feuer gespielt und ist angefahrt
Von Flugel in mir nach gelacht
Zusammen aufgewacht

Bitte melde dich
Hörst du mich
Wo bist du
Ich suche dich
Bitte melde dich
Melde dich bei mir

Bitte melde dich
Hörst du mich
Wo bist du
Ich suche dich
Bitte melde dich
Melde dich bei mir

Ich für dich wiedersehen und immer verliert

Ein Stunde lang ohne ein dir ich die Strasse gehört
Mit Tränen in Augen verlor ganz allein nur verführt
Suche nicht und ein Million
Ich find nie ich nur allein mit du dir
Mein Herz hat es polymution 
Die hypnotisiert 

Bitte melde dich
Hörst du mich
Wo bist du
Ich suche dich
Bitte melde dich
Melde dich bei mir

Bitte melde dich
Hörst du mich
Wo bist du
Ich suche dich
Bitte melde dich
Melde dich bei mir

Ich für dich wiedersehen und immer verliert

Bitte melde dich

Damit ich wieder schlafen kann
Bitte melde dich
Melde dich bei mir

Bitte melde dich
Hörst du mich
Wo bist du
Ich suche dich
Bitte melde dich
Melde dich bei mir

Ich für dich wiedersehen und immer verliert

Ich geb nie auf (Am Anfang war das Feuer)



[English: I Never Give Up (In the Beginning was the Fire)]

German lyrics and English translation from

Music Videos: [Singer: Helene Fischer]

Am Anfang war das Feuer
In the beginning was the fire
so heiss wie ein Vulkan
so hot as a volcano,
in deinem Blick war pure Zärtlichkeit
in your look was pure tenderness.
und als die Sonne aufging
And as the sun came up
war alles um uns her
all around us
als ob die Welt neugeboren wär.
was as if the world was reborn.
Deine Nähe ist mir heute so vertraut
Today being near you is so familiar to me,
aber wo ist dieses Kribbeln auf der Haut
but where is that tingling on the skin?

Ich geb nie auf
I never give up,
und ich glaub an grosse Träume
and I believe in great dreams,
denn oft ist in der Asche
because often in the ashes,
noch immer etwas Glut
there is always some glow yet.
wenn du es willst
If you wish it
fangen Rosen an zu blühen
roses start to bloom,
komm fang mit mir noch einmal an
come begin with me again,
weil ich an uns noch glauben kann
because I can still believe in us
komm flieg mit mir noch einmal hoch hinauf
Come fly high with me yet again,
ich geb nie auf
I never give up.

Am Anfang war das Feuer
In the beginning was the fire,
nicht nur für eine Nacht
not just for one night
was haben wir für Pläne oft gemacht
What kind of plans did we often make?
wir suchten neue Sterne
We searched for new stars,
die keiner vor uns sah
which no one saw before us
daß so ein Glück für immer hält, war klar
that so a happiness stays forever, was clear
wenn ich heute Nacht in deinen Armen frier
if I freeze in your arms tonight,
bin ich einsam und ich such den Grund dafür
I am lonely and I search for its reason.

Ich geb nie auf
I never give up,
und ich glaub an grosse Träume
and I believe in great dreams

This Vietnamese song was quite popular around the year 2000. It brings back quite a number of memories for me. Here are the lyrics and English translation for your karaoke pleasure.

Song Title: Đừng Xa Em Đêm Nay (Don't Leave Me Tonight)
Artiste: Thảo My
Written by: Đức Huy

Lyrics & English Translation:

Đừng xa em đêm nay khi bóng trăng qua hàng cây
Don’t leave me tonight when the moon passes the trees
Đừng xa em đêm nay đêm rất dài
Don’t leave me tonight, night’s too long
Vòng tay em cô đơn đêm khuya vắng nghe buồn hơn
In my lonely arms, night is dark and forlorn
Còn tim em khát khao yêu thương.
My heart thirsts for your love

Đừng xa em đêm nay hãy nói anh sẽ ở đây
Don’t leave me tonight, please say that you will stay
Đừng để em một mình nơi chốn này
Don’t leave me alone in this place
Hãy ôm em trong tay cho em biết anh cần em
Hold me in your arms so I know you need me
Và hãy nói anh vẫn yêu em.
Say, you always love me!

ĐK
Repeat

Giọt nước mắt nào đổ trong bóng tối
A tear drop falls into darkness
Khi nằm lắng nghe tiếng đêm, lắng nghe tiếng đêm
When I lay, listen to darkness, listen in darkness
Nghe nhịp đập con tim ru em giấc ngủ yên.
Hear the beats of my heart lull me my good sleep
Đời em vắng lạnh và anh đã đến như ngọn nến
My life is empty, you came as candles
Trong bóng đêm, nến trong bóng đêm soi vào tim
In darkness, candles in darkness brighten up my heart
Nghe xao xuyến đã ngủ quên.
Bitterness fell asleep

Đừng xa em đêm nay khu phố quen đã ngủ say
Don’t leave me tonight, my street is asleep
Đừng xa em đêm nay đêm rất dài
Don’t leave me tonight, night’s too long
Hãy yêu em đêm nay cho quên hết đi ngày mai
Please love me tonight, to forget tomorrow
Đừng xa em, đừng xa em đêm nay.
Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me tonight.

Shall We Talk

明月光 為何又照地堂
ming yutgwong waiho yau jiu deitong
明月光 为何又照地堂
Radiant moonlight, why do you shine on the earthly paradise again?
寧願在公園躲藏 不想喝湯
ningyun joi gungyun dochong batseung hottong
宁愿在公园躲藏 不想喝汤
I’d rather hide in the park since I don't want to drink soup.
任由目光 留在漫畫一角
yamyau mukgwong laujoi maanwa yatgok
任由目光 留在漫画一角
Allowing my gaze to remain on the corner of a comic
為何望母親一眼就如罰留堂
waiho mong mochan yatngaan jau yu fat lautong
为何望母亲一眼就如罚留堂
Why does looking at my mother seem like a punishment?

孩童只盼望歡樂 大人只知道寄望
haaitung ji paanmong funlok daaiyan jek jidou keimong
孩童只盼望欢乐 大人只知道期望
Children only hope for fun, adults only know of the future.
為何都不大懂得努力體恤對方
waiho dou batdaai dungdak noulik taiseut deuifong
为何都不大懂得努力体恤对方
Why don't we comprehend the need to work harder to sympathize with one another?
大門外有蟋蟀 迴響卻如同幻覺
daaimun ngoi yau sikseut wuiheung keuk yu tung waangok
大门外有蟋蟀 回乡却如同幻觉
There is a cricket outside the door; the echoes are like an illusion.
Shall we talk Shall we talk
就當重新手拖手去上學堂
jau dong chungsan sautosau heui seung hoktong
就当重新手拖手去上学堂
Let's start over and walk hand-in-hand to school.

陪我講 陪我講出我們最後何以生疏
pui ngo gong pui ngo gongcheut ngomun jeuihau hoyi saangso
陪我讲 陪我讲出我们最後何以生疏
Say with me, say aloud with me that in the end we can become estranged.
誰怕講 誰會可悲得過孤獨探戈
seui pa gong seui wui ho beidak gwo guduk taamgwo
谁怕讲 谁会可悲得过孤独探戈
Who's afraid of speaking? Who will be saddened by the lonely Tango?
難得 可以同座 何以 要忌諱赤裸
naandak hoyi tungjo hoyi yiu gei wai cheklo
难得 可以同座 何以 要忌讳赤裸
It's hard enough for us to get together, must we avoid baring ourselves?
如果心聲真有療效 誰怕暴露更多
yugwo samsing janyau liuhaau seui pa boulou gangdo
如果心声真有疗效 谁怕暴露更多
If the sounds of the heart really have a healing effect, who fears to reveal even more?
你別怕我
nei bit pa ngo
你别怕我
You mustn't fear me.

螢幕發光 無論什麼都看
yingmok faatgwong mouleun sammo dou hon
营幕发光 无论什麽都看
The TV screen radiates light. Regardless of what’s on, I’ll watch anyway.
情人在分手邊緣只敢喝湯
chingyan joi fansau binyun ji gam hottong
情人在分手边缘只敢喝汤
Lovers on the brink of heartbreak only dare to drink soup.
若沉默似金 還談什麼戀愛
yeuk chammak chi gam waan taam sammo lyunngoi
若沉默似金 还谈什麽恋爱
If silence is golden, yet we talk about love.
寧願在發聲機器面前笑著忙
ningyun joi faatsing geihei minchin siu jeuk mong
宁愿在发声机器面前笑着忙
I’d rather stand before the speakers busy smiling

成人只寄望收穫 情人只聽見承諾
singyan ji geimong sauwok chingyan ji tinggin singnok
成人只寄望收获 情人只听见承诺
Adults only hope for success, lovers only hear promises.
為何都不大懂得努力珍惜對方
waiho dou batdaai dungdak noulik jansik deuifong
为何都不大懂得努力珍惜对方
Why don't we comprehend the need to work harder to cherish one another?
螳螂面對蟋蟀 迴響也如同幻覺
tonglong mindeui sikseut wuiheung ya yu tung waangok
螳螂面对蟋蟀 回乡也如同幻觉
The praying mantis confronts the cricket; the echoes are also like an illusion.
Shall we talk Shall we talk
就算牙關開始打震 別說謊
jausyun nga gwaan hoichi dajan bit syutfong
就算牙关开始打震 别说谎
Even if your jaw begins to tremble, don't tell a lie.

陪我講 陪我講出我們最後何以生疏
pui ngo gong pui ngo gongcheut ngomun jeuihau hoyi saangso
陪我讲 陪我讲出我们最後何以生疏
Say with me, say aloud with me that in the end we can become estranged.
誰怕講 誰會可悲得過孤獨探戈
seui pa gong seui wui ho beidak gwo guduk taamgwo
谁怕讲 谁会可悲得过孤独探戈
Who's afraid of speaking? Who will be saddened by the lonely Tango?
難得 可以同座 何以 要忌諱赤裸
naandak hoyi tungjo hoyi yiu gei wai cheklo
难得 可以同座 何以 要忌讳赤裸
It's hard enough for us to get together, must we avoid baring ourselves?
如果心聲真有療效 誰怕暴露更多
yugwo samsing janyau liuhaau seui pa boulou gangdo
如果心声真有疗效 谁怕暴露更多
If the sounds of the heart really have a healing effect, who fears to reveal even more?

陪我講 陪我親身正視眼淚誰跌得多
pui ngo gong pui ngo chansan jingsi ngaanleui seui ditdak do
陪我讲 陪我亲身正视眼泪谁跌得多
Speak with me; accompany me to face more tears that have fallen than from anyone else.
無法講 除非彼此已失去了能力觸摸
moufaat gong cheuifei beichi yi satheuiliu nanglik jukmo
无法讲 除非彼此已失去了能力触摸
Only if the two of us have already lost the ability to touch would we be incapable of speaking.
鈴聲 可以寧靜 難過 卻避不過
lingsing hoyi ningjing naangwo keuk bei batgwo
铃声 可以宁静 难过 却避不过
The sound of a bell can be serene, yet you can't avoid feeling bad.
如果沉默太沉重 別要輕輕帶過
yugwo chammak taai chamchung bityiu hinghing daaigwo
如果沉默太沉重 别要轻轻带过
If the silence weighs on you too heavily, don’t take it too lightly.

明月光 為何未照地堂
ming yutgwong waiho mei jiu deitong
明月光 为何未照地堂
Radiant moonlight, why haven't you shone on the earthly paradise?
孩兒在公司很忙 不需喝湯
haaiyi joi gungsi han mong batseui hottong
孩儿在公司很忙 不需喝汤
I’m very busy at work and don't need to drink soup.
And shall we talk 斜陽白趕一趟
and shall we talk cheyeung baak gon yat tong
And shall we talk 斜阳白赶一趟
And shall we talk, the setting sun rushed in vain.
沉默令我聽得見葉兒聲聲降
chammak ling ngo tingdak gin yipyi singsing gong
沉默令我听得见叶儿声声降
The silence allows me to hear Yip's falling voice.

Nam Pang Yau (Boyfriend) 男朋友 by Louis Koo 古天乐: Lyrics & Translation

This song brings back memories of a time long past. It's all water under the bridge now. Most of it has faded, washed away by the river of oblivion. I've compiled the lyrics, translation and music video for your karaoke practice.

為著舊愛 正在結疤

ling yamho yan wai lau yamho hin gwa

The wounds are still trying to heal from my last relationship
I don't want to say more wrong words
that will upset anyone

寂寞令我 滿臉雪花
連情感都很想放下
尤其是你 這樣愛他

jikmok ling ngo mun min syut fa
lin ching gam dou han seung fong ha
yaukeisi nei jeyeung ngoi ta

Loneliness fills my face with snowflakes
Tempting me to to let go of any love I feel
Especially you, who loves him such

Answer me, can you let me hold your hand for a little while
My wishful thinking won't happen
To hold your hand, it will be sweet enough for me

實在是我 太沒眼光
再也不敢諸多寄望
為任何人 遺留任何感覺

satjoi si ngo taai mut ngan gong
joi ya batgam jyu duo kei mong
wai yamho yan wai lau yamho gamgok

Actually it's my gross lack of foresight
I don't want to have too many expectations anymore
I don't want to leave anyone with any kind of feelings

實在沒法 努力說謊
愛我可一生都快樂
然而為你 我願意講

satjoi mutfaat nolik syut fong

Loving me will bring a lifetime of happiness
For you, I'm willing to say it

Di Pintu Mahligai (At the Palace Door)

Music Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz2ZE16PFqw

Title: Di Pintu Mahligai (At the Palace Door)
Kumpulan: Iklim (lead singer Saleem)

Di dalam kesunyian
Kurasa gelombangnya
Menyintaimu satu kewajipan
Tapi tak terluah dengan perkataan

(In the middle of silence
I feel waves surrounding me
For me to love you is an obligation
But until now I haven't said the magic words)


Tika fajar menyinsing
Kusentuh sinar kasih
Dari matamu dekat dan terasing
Aku menanti singkapan tabir cinta
Aku menanti saat menjadi nyata

(Sunrise comes and breaks the dawn
Rays of love I touch with care
Near and far away from your gentle eyes
I wait for the curtains of love to open up
I wait for the seconds to become reality)


( 3 )
Kesunyian ini terlalu indah
Walaupun pahit untuk menelan
Walaupun pedih sanggupku tahan
Dan kurelakannya

(This silence is oh so beautiful
Although too bitter to be swallowed
Even though it hurts I still endure pain
I endure willingly)


Puteri di pintu mahligai
Kulihat kasihmu melambai
Walaupun jauh tapi jelas
Jiwaku menyentuh jiwamu

(Princess at the palace door
I see you waving to me with love
Far away but it is so clear
That your soul already touches mine)


Puteri di pintu mahligai
Nyatakan segala impian
Sambutlah tangan sambutlah
Semoga terlepas segala siksaan

(Princess at the palace door
Tell me all about your greatest dreams
Take my hand, take my hand
We shall be free from all the suffering)


( ulang dari 3 ) ( repeat from 3)

Dengan sayap impian
Ingin terbang ke sana
Membawa cinta sebesar dunia
Apa jua milikku dan kutahu
Hanya untukmu

(With the wings of dreams to be
Wishing to fly over there
Carrying a love as great as the world
That which is mine and I already know for sure
Only for you)

Shuo Ni Shuo Ni 说你说你 Bachata Song (Sung to the tune of "Shorty Shorty" by Xtreme)

Encountered this on a recent salsa outing and I quite like this song. I thought it was a Mandarin bachata but it's actually by Xtreme. The way they pronounced "Shorty Shorty" sounded like "Shuo Ni Shuo Ni". Hey, we could easily create a Mandarin version of this song!

Hence I'm presenting below a compilation of the original Spanish lyrics with English translation from lyricstranslate.com and a Mandarin version which is partly a translation of the original and partly a different version.

Acknowledgments to Tracy for contributing some lyrical ideas!

Mandarin by me with the help of Google Translate and Wiktionary

Shorty Shorty a.k.a. Shuo Ni Shuo Ni 说你说你

[Verse 1]
What should I say? What should I do?
Dimelo pronto, que muero sin tu luz
Dime que ya, hoy regresas a mi
Si te entregas a mi, yo me entrego a ti

What should I say? What should I do?
Tell me soon, cause I’m dying without your light
tell me that your coming back to me, today
if you give yourself to me, I’ll give myself to you

wo yinggai shuome? yinggai zuome?
kuaidian gaosu wo, wo jiulai si le
gaosu wo ni jintian huilai gen wo
ruguo song niziji gei wo, wo song woziji gei ni

我应该说么? 应该做么?
快点告诉我, 我就来死了
告诉我你今天回来跟我
如果送你自己给我, 我送我自己给你

[Bridge]
Yo se porque
De noche no duermo mas
Y se porque
Mi vida no es vida
Porque no te tengo y porque no te encuentro, amor
Por eso te dedico esta cancion

I know why
I can’t sleep anymore at night
And I know why
My life is no life
Because I don’t have you with me, and because I can’t find you, baby
That’s why I’m dedicating this song to you

wo dong weihe
zai wanshang bukeyi shuijiao

yinwei meiyou ni peiwo erqie wo zhao budao ni, baobei

我懂为何
在晚上不可以睡觉
还懂为何
我生活等於没有
因为没有你陪我而且我找不到你, 宝贝
所以呢我这首歌奉献给你

(Steve Styles, Danny D, X, X, Xtreme)

Where do I go? Where do I find you?
Quiero verte, me hace daño
Dime que ya, necesitas de mi
Que se que no eres feliz
Sin mi no puedes vivir

Where do I go? Where do I find you?
wanting to see you, hurts me
So tell me that you need me
Because I know you’re not happy
You can’t live without me
