Learning a language through music is a powerful and enjoyable experience, and Khalil Fong's '好不容易' is a perfect song for those learning Mandarin.

[English]

So many people are disappointed, so many forget, so many say love is weightless and invisible

Love—maybe it's mine, maybe it's hers, love also needs you to be the matchmaker

I heard people groaning, I heard people parting, everyone says love can't be proven

Don't blame me for counting, don't blame her for crying, I no longer see your beauty

I'm here with you, it's worth it, I will keep loving you

My heart is convinced, my heart is reluctant, everything is unbelievable

Because only you are the love I have, I've changed myself, I realize

It's so hard, so hard, so hard—to love you

...

There are always those who are firm, those who believe, and those who understand that love can be deep and bottomless

Love—maybe it's mine, maybe it's hers, love also needs you to be the matchmaker

I'm here with you, it's worth it, I will keep loving you

My heart is convinced, my heart is reluctant, everything is unbelievable

Because only you are the love I have, I've changed myself, I realize

It's so hard, so hard, so hard—to love you

I still have countless things I can't do, have heard many promises that can't last forever, how much wandering is in this world

But I have my confidant, who walks with me through the seasons, nothing else in life to ask for

...

I'm here with you, it's worth it, I will keep loving you

My heart is convinced, my heart is reluctant, everything is unbelievable

Because only you are the love I have, I've changed myself, I realize

It's so hard, so hard, so hard—to love you

...

[Chinese]

太多人失意 太多人忘記 太多人都說愛情失重無影

愛 也許是我的 愛 也許是他的 愛 也需要你做媒

聽說人呻鳴 聽說人分離 聽說人都說愛也無法證明

壞 別在數我的 怪 別在訴她的 再也不視你的美

我在這裡 帶著你 很值得 一直我會愛著你

心服的 心不捨 一切都不可思議

因為愛的只有你 我已換了自己 我意識到

好不容易 好不容易 好不容易 愛到你

總有人堅定 總有人相信 總有人懂得愛能深刻無底

愛 也許是我的 愛 也許是她的 愛 也許要你做媒

我在這裡 帶著你 很值得 一直我會愛著你

心服的 心不捨 一切都不可思議

因為愛的只有你 我已換了自己 我意識到

好不容易 好不容易 好不容易 愛到你

我還有萬事不會 已聽不少無可到老的承諾 世界裡有多少胡不歸

而我有我知己 陪我度過四季 沒有什麼在這一生可求

我在這裡 帶著你 很值得 一直我會愛著你

心服的 心不捨 一切都不可思議

因為愛的只有你 我已換了自己 我意識到

好不容易 好不容易 好不容易 愛到你
