The new single ‘I love you’ from Taiwan based UK band ‘Transition’ is a cute song and will have you singing along happily! A cool song to introduce ‘the culture of gift giving in China…a great springboard to have students research more cultural differences in ‘gift giving’!  Learning cultural differences is really important and leads to an understanding of ones own culture too! Learning through such a cute song though will help with our Mandarin acquisition too! Lyrics are below, you will note the characters are ‘traditional’ on the subtitles, so I have added the ‘simplified’ version, and the ‘pinyin’ to help you sing along!

 

送你雨伞不是因为要与妳散
只是因为英国的天气真的很烂
我只想要找一个简单的办法
帮助妳保护妳美丽的长发
谁知道会有这种意思
学文化比语言还难
有些事情真的不够简单
所以到最后 只能直接对妳说
我爱妳 我爱妳
我相信 妳也爱我
我们两个会永远在一起
这是爱情
I Love You

知道鞋子对女人非常重要
所以送妳的那一双为何不要
要妳跑路真的不是我的计画
想要表达妳是我的 Cinderella
谁知道会有这种意思
学文化比语言还难
有些事情真的不够简单
所以到最后 只能直接对妳说
我爱妳 我爱妳
我相信 妳也爱我
我们两个会永远在一起
这是爱情
I Love You

我们两个会永远在一起
这是爱情
I Love You
我爱妳 我爱妳
我爱妳 我爱妳
我爱妳 我爱妳
我爱妳 我爱妳
我爱妳
