New Chinese TV Show Recommendation

This new ancient-China costume comedy called 龙门镖局 is very good and can be watched from the US on Le TV's website by following this link.  It is from the same writer that helped create the show 武林外传, reruns of which are very common on Chinese television and is already somewhat of a classic.

Song Fifteen 错过了缘分错过了你

Despite of, or perhaps because of, a total mismatch between the upbeat melody and the downbeat lyrics about lost romance, this song is quite catchy and was popular in China earlier this year. The link to where you can stream the song and the lyrics with selected words translated into English can be found below.

街上满是拥挤的人群


为何看不见你的身影   wei4he2 - why

茫茫人海真爱难寻  mang2mang2 - vast


我的心痛由谁来抚平  fu3ping2 - calm somebody down


老天为何要造物弄人

突然没有了你的音讯  yin1xun4 - correspondence


孤单时刻无人爱怜  ai4lian2 - to dote on


留下我这个痴情的人  chi1qing2 - infatuated


多想回到我们的昨天


我会爱你一如从前 yi1ru2cong2qian2 - just like before


想起我们不再有明天


我的泪水在枕边蔓延  man4yan2 - to spread over



(chorus)


我错过了缘份错过了你


你的温柔从此在我梦里 cong2ci3 - from now on


是与非 笑和泪


如今都变成飘散的记忆  ru2jin1 - nowadays    piao1san4 - to drift or float


我错过了缘份错过了你


只好偷偷躲进无人角落里  zhi3hao3 - to have no better choice but to   jiao3luo4 - nook, corner


心伤了 情断了

漫漫长夜里我一个人哭泣  ku1qi4 - to cry




The rest of the song basically repeats after this point.
