Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a fantastic journey, and Khalil Fong's "Love Song" is a perfect starting point for Mandarin learners. Its lyrics are intentionally simple and direct, making them easy to follow and understand. The song's focus on the universal theme of love and its beautiful, mellow R&B melody make it an enjoyable and memorable way to pick up new vocabulary and phrasing. What makes this song special is its sincerity; it's a pure and honest declaration of love that transcends language barriers.

[English]

I wrote this song

A simple song, not complicated, and easy to sing

This isn’t like those songs that only have the piano left

Nor is it a song where we can't just be friends

It’s not the kind of story written in a novel about two people

Who in that novel could have made a mistake in the flower field?

This is a song I’m writing just for you

Love Song, I’ve always wanted to write a Love Song

Love Song, you gave me one

Love Song, that’s what the DJ will play

Maybe it’ll even top the charts

But I just want to write a song

Love Song, I’ve always wanted to write a Love Song

Love Song, you gave me one

You’re like a cool breeze in summer

Blowing across my face, feelings flying high

Deep in my heart, you’re my first, I want to say I love you

...

I wrote this song

A simple song, not complicated, and easy to sing

This isn’t like those fairy tale songs

Nor is it a song that truly loves me

It’s not a story about two people written in a novel

Who in that story would watch her see the shooting stars fall again?

This is a song I’m writing just for you

Love Song, I’ve always wanted to write a Love Song

Love Song, you gave me one

Love Song, that’s what the DJ will play

Maybe it’ll even top the charts

But I just want to write a song

Love Song, I’ve always wanted to write a Love Song

Love Song, you gave me one

You’re like a cool breeze in summer

Blowing across my face, feelings flying high

Deep in my heart, you’re my first, I want to say I love you

If you were a painting

You’d be the most precious one

And if that painter were Van Gogh

Everyone would come to pay in cash, asking to marry you

Van Gogh said, “You should all go home now”

Or maybe you’re Melody, the most beautiful tune

Everyone would sing along with you

Even at night, your stars are shining so bright

Let me forget that the moon signifies my

Love Song, you gave me one

...

Love Song, that’s what the DJ will play

Maybe it’ll even top the charts

But I just want to write a song

Love Song, I’ve always wanted to write a Love Song

Love Song, you gave me one

You’re like a cool breeze in summer

Blowing across my feelings, flying high

Deep in my heart, you’re my first, I want to say I love you

...

[Chinese]

我寫了這首歌

是一首簡單的 不複雜也不難唱的那一種歌

這不是那種 只剩下那鋼琴的歌

也不是那種 不能只是朋友的歌

這不是那種 兩個人的故事寫在一本小說

那小說裏有誰會在花田裏犯了錯

這就是一首寫給你聽的一個

Love Song 一直想寫一首

Love Song 你給了我一首

Love Song 那DJ會播放

這也許會上榜

不過我只想寫出一首

Love Song 一直想寫一首

Love Song 你給了我一首

你就像那夏天的涼風

吹過我的面孔 情翔飛

在我心底 你就是我第一 想說愛你

我寫了這首歌

是一首簡單的 不複雜也不難唱的那一種歌

這不是那種 童話裏會遇見的歌

也不是那種 真真切切愛我的歌

這不是那種 兩個人的故事寫在一本小說

那小說裏有誰陪她看流星再降落

這就是一首寫給你聽的一個

Love Song 一直想寫一首

Love Song 你給了我一首

Love Song 那DJ會播放

這也許會上榜

不過我只想寫出一首

Love Song 一直想寫一首

Love Song 你給了我一首

你就像那夏天的涼風

吹過我的面孔 情翔飛

在我心底 你就是我第一 想說愛你

如果你是一幅畫

你會是最珍貴的一幅畫

如果那畫家是梵高的話

有何貴人前來有錢花 個個向你求嫁

梵高他說 你們都該回家

又或者你是Melody 就是最動聽

所有的人都會跟著你齊唱

就算在夜晚 你的星太亮

讓我忘了月亮代表我的

Love Song 你給了我一首

Love Song 那DJ會播放

這也許會上榜

不過我只想寫出一首

Love Song 一直想寫一首

Love Song 你給了我一首

你就像那夏天的涼風

吹過我的 情翔飛

在我心底 你就是我第一
