The winning performance of Shila has attracted much attention to the song Zheng Fu (征服) by Na Ying (那英) among the non-mandarin-speaking community in Malaysia. Some of the comments on Youtube are asking for the meaning of the lyrics. So here it is. Tried to post on Youtube but character limit prevents everything to be posted. My English is not really good, but the following should be better than google-translated. Still, my translation fails to convey even 50% of what the lyric wants to bring out.
终於你找到一个方式 分出了胜负
Finally, you’ve found a way to decide who wins
输蠃的代价是彼此 粉身碎骨
The consequence.. both of us are deeply hurt
外表健康的你 心伤痕无数
You look fine, but your heart… broken countless times
顽强的我是这场战役 的俘虏
I won’t give up, and become the captive of war (of love)
*Chorus started
就这样被你征服
Just like this, you have won over me
切断了所有退路
There’s no retreat (for me)
There’s no turning back (for me)
我的心情是坚固 我的决定是糊涂
My heart is firm (but) my decision is careless
就这样被你征服
Just like this, you have won over me
喝下你藏好的毒
(I) drink down the poison you prepared (for me)
我的剧情已落幕
My story has ended
我的爱恨已入土
My love and hatred burried
*Chorus ended
终於我明白俩人要的是 一个结束
Finally, I understand what we both wanted… is an end.
所有的辩解都让对方以为 是企图
All explanations look like excuses
放一把火烧掉你送我的 礼物
Lit a fire and burn up all presents that you gave me
却浇不熄我胸口灼热的愤怒
Still, it couldn’t relieve me from my rage
Repeat the chorus once…
你如果经过我的坟墓
If you walk pass my grave
你可以双手合十为我祝福
You may clasp you hands and pray for me
Repeat the chorus multiple times…
