Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a journey into its culture and heart, and JJ Lin's '修煉愛情' (Practice Love) offers a deeply moving entry point. Through its poignant lyrics, you can learn vocabulary related to complex emotions like love, loss, memory, and courage. The song is special because it's built on a true, tragic story, giving each word a profound weight and sincerity that makes the language feel alive and deeply human. It's a beautiful, albeit heartbreaking, piece to connect with the expressive power of Mandarin.

[English]

What gives you the right to be disappointed, hiding tears in your heart

The past won't lie, don't make it difficult

We don't need this between us

I want to

The bittersweetness of cultivating love

Learning to let go of past desires

How hard it is to forget our beliefs

Admiration from afar, confusion up close

Who says the sun will find the moon

The love others have, we can't possibly imitate

The joys and sorrows of cultivating love

Our efforts are not easy

Turning happiness into tears is a kind of bravery

The fantasies from years ago, the forgiveness years later

To nurture a body full of wounds for a single face

Don't say you miss me, I can't handle it like this

...

Memory is truly arrogant, streetlights illuminate the pain

How many times have lovers watched the moon together

How many times has it seen forgetfulness in the sky

So much anxiety

The bittersweetness of cultivating love

Learning to let go of past desires

How hard it is to forget our beliefs

Admiration from afar, confusion up close

Who says the sun will find the moon

The love others have, we can't possibly imitate

The joys and sorrows of cultivating love

Our efforts are not easy

Turning happiness into tears is a kind of bravery

The fantasies from years ago, the forgiveness years later

To nurture a body full of wounds for a single face

Don't say you miss me, I can't handle it like this

...

Smiling and saying love drives people crazy

Crying and saying love makes people strong

If you can't forget that person, just surrender

The joys and sorrows of cultivating love

Our efforts are not easy

Turning happiness into tears is a kind of bravery

The fantasies from years ago, the forgiveness years later

To nurture a body full of wounds for a single face

Don't say you miss me, I can't handle it like this

The fantasies from years ago, the forgiveness years later

To nurture a body full of wounds for a single face

Don't say you miss me, I can't handle it like this

...

[Chinese]

憑什麼要失望 藏眼淚到心臟

往事不會說謊別跟它為難

我們兩人之間不需要這樣

我想

修煉愛情的心酸

學會放好以前的渴望

我們那些信仰 要忘記多難

遠距離的欣賞 近距離的迷惘

誰說太陽會找到月亮

別人有的愛 我們不可能模仿

修煉愛情的悲歡

我們這些努力不簡單

快樂煉成淚水 是一種勇敢

幾年前的幻想 幾年後的原諒

為一張臉去養一身傷

別講想念我 我會受不了這樣

記憶它真囂張 路燈把痛點亮

情人一起看過多少次月亮

它在天空看過多少次遺忘

多少心慌

修煉愛情的心酸

學會放好以前的渴望

我們那些信仰 要忘記多難

遠距離的欣賞 近距離的迷惘

誰說太陽會找到月亮

別人有的愛 我們不可能模仿

修煉愛情的悲歡

我們這些努力不簡單

快樂煉成淚水 是一種勇敢

幾年前的幻想 幾年後的原諒

為一張臉去養一身傷

別講想念我 我會受不了這樣

笑著說愛讓人瘋狂

哭著說愛讓人堅強

忘不了那個人就投降

修煉愛情的悲歡

我們這些努力不簡單

快樂煉成淚水 是一種勇敢

幾年前的幻想 幾年後的原諒

為一張臉去養一身傷

別講想念我 我會受不了這樣

幾年前的幻想 幾年後的原諒

為一張臉去養一身傷

別講想念我 我會受不了這樣
