Selected Lyrics of the Chinese Song

中文歌給定片段 :

  • 祈禱你像 英勇的禁衛軍/ 動也不動的 守護愛情/ 你在回憶裡 留下的腳印/ 是我愛的 風景我要送你日不落的想念/ 寄出代表愛的明信片/ 我要送你日不落的愛戀/ 緊牽著心把世界走遍/ 你就是慶典 你就是晴天/ 我的愛未眠 (我的愛未眠)/ 不落的想念 飛在你身邊/ 我的愛未眠 ——《日不落》

規定主題:回憶

Required theme: memories

  • 妳可以隨著我的步伐輕輕柔柔的踩/ 將美麗的回憶慢慢重來/ 突然之間浪漫無法釋懷/ 明天我要離開/ 妳給的愛 無助的等待/ 是否我一個人走 想聽見妳的挽留/ 春風秋雨飄飄落落只為寂寞/ 妳給的愛 甜美的傷害/ 深深的鎖住了我 隱藏不住的脆弱/ 氾濫河水將我沖向妳的心頭/ 不停流 —— 《last dance》

規定主題:理想

Required theme: ambition

  • 對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨/ 跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走/ 為什麼人要這麼的脆弱 墮落/ 請你打開電視看看/ 多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去/ 我們是不是該知足/ 珍惜一切 就算沒有擁有/ 還記得你說家是唯一的城堡/隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑/微微笑/ 小時候的夢我知道/ 不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑/ 鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠/ 回家吧 回到最初的美好 —— 《稻香》

規定主題:重逢

Required theme: reunion

  • 今天我 寒夜裡看雪飄過/ 懷著冷卻了的心窩漂遠方/ 風雨裡追趕/霧裡分不清影蹤/ 天空海闊你與我/ 可會變(誰沒在變)/ 原諒我這一生不羈放縱愛自由/ 也會怕有一天會跌倒/ 背棄了理想 誰人都可以/ 那會怕有一天只你共我/ 仍然自由自我 /永遠高唱我歌走遍千里 —— 《海闊天空》

規定主題:離別

Required theme: departure

  • 不要不要假設我知道/ 一切一切也都是為我而做/為何這麼偉大/ 如此感覺不到 不說一句的愛有多好?/ 只有一次記得實在接觸到/ 騎著單車的我倆/ 懷緊貼背的擁抱/ 難離難捨想抱緊些/茫茫人生好像荒野/ 如孩兒能伏於爸爸的肩膀/ 誰要下車/ 難離難捨總有一些/ 常情如此不可推卸/任世間再冷酷/ 想起這單車還有幸福可借... —— 《單車》

規定主題:友誼

Required theme: friendship
