**UPDATED 2nd February 2011** Full version of lyrics added + translation!
After religiously following TMOJ for a few weeks now I thought I’d mix things up a bit by watching an idol drama!! LOL. Well, the main appeal is of course Will Pan, who I only “discovered” last year by watching his earlier series and eventually led me to Taipei Arena to see his concert in December 2009…..(!!! Good times!!!) “Endless Love” is his new drama which just started last week. I haven’t finished the first episode yet and already you know the formula is going to be: rich girl / poor guy, she already likes his other guy, but we all know she will fall in love with Will…. but her family probably objects…..they encounter some obstacles….etc etc. If it’s so typical, why am I watching? Well, that’s the point of idol dramas I guess, is the disconnect with reality. As long as there’re good lead actors, I watch. hahhaha.
On the song itself….
The full version is not out yet, this is only the TV version. The theme is called 我們都怕痛 (We’re all afraid of pain) – the video from the series is shot quite beautifully, so I can’t help but do a translation. Can’t wait to hear the full version!
In an effort to post more regularly, this new section is born. Since I’ve been quite lazy with translations for a few months now I’m hoping this will give me a little more practice. I don’t profess to be a very good translator, plus I haven’t had many Mandarin lessons, it was mostly learnt through watching TV series and listening to songs…. so the pinyin was done through an online translator and probably not 100% correct. 
On the song itself….
I’ve only discovered Will Pan sometime last year by coincidence? Then became a fan after watching “Miss no good” and went back and listened to his songs. This particular one is quite old (from his Wu Ha album in 2004) but I like it a lot. It’s a love ballad, not too flashy but Tank’s music and lyrics really tells it like it is, making it a relatively easy one to translate! (Got to pick an easy one to start with!) Apparently (as noted by someone who commented in YouTube!) Tank wrote it based on his own experience…..btw his hair in the MV – so so bad!
