Lyrics & Translation

“微光” (Wēi Guāng) by Fish Leong offers a beautiful opportunity to learn Mandarin through its poetic and emotionally rich lyrics. The song's exploration of complex feelings like nostalgia, resignation, and a glimmer of hope provides a nuanced look at the language used to describe the subtleties of human relationships. The song is special not only for its beautiful melody and Leong's emotive vocals but also for its layered metaphors, making it a rewarding piece for language learners to decipher and connect with on a deeper level.

[English]

Searching for the tiny glow of fireflies, waiting for the brilliance in the swamp

Your sweet words are singing, filling the empty night

Dew kisses goodbye on waking faces, welcoming the oblivious sunlight

Complaining about the other being sleepy first, holding onto unfulfilled regrets

...

Now your partner is stiff, watching TV under the gentle glow

The sofa is neat and steady, the screen flickers so lonely

Reeds ripple in your heart, the swamp has long vanished into smoke

You’re tired of New Year’s Eve, watching fireworks fill the sky outside

Memories are fleeting, life feels too long

Don't let a moment's tears miss the stars shining in the sky

Forgive the fireflies for not having the courage, unable to handle romantic distractions

The painstaking effort is unforgettable, but things that come naturally are simple

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la, la la la la la la

...

Memories are fleeting, life feels too long

...

Don’t let a moment’s tears miss the stars shining all over the sky

Habits also become likes

Romantic regrets are often made up of simplicity

Searching for the tiny glow of fireflies, waiting for the brilliance in the swamp

Love is exposed in the swamp, feelings are like the glow of a TV

...

[Chinese]

寻找萤火虫的微光 等待沼泽中的璀璨

你们的情话在歌唱 填满空荡荡的夜晚

露珠吻别梦醒的脸 迎接不识趣的日光

埋怨先瞌睡的对方 怀着等不到的遗憾

如今呆板的另一半 陪你看电视的萤光

沙发干净得很稳当 屏幕闪烁得很孤单

芦苇在你心里荡漾 沼泽早就烟消云散

你也厌倦每年元旦 在外面看烟火弥漫

回忆 短暂 人生 太长

别为 刹那 泪光 错过 满天星光

原谅萤火虫没胆量 受不了浪漫的扰攘

苦心经营的太难忘 随心而来的很平凡

啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦

啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦

回忆 短暂 人生 太长

别为 刹那 泪光 错过 满天的星光

习惯 也就 喜欢

浪漫的 缺憾 往往 以平凡补偿

寻找萤火虫的微光 等待沼泽中的璀璨

爱情在沼泽里曝光 感情是电视的萤光
