Lyrics & Translation

Learning a language through music is a journey of the heart, and Rachel Liang's “最幸福的事” is a beautiful place to start. This song offers a chance to learn expressive and emotional Mandarin vocabulary related to love, memory, and reflection. What makes this song special is its universal message of finding happiness in past moments, a sentiment that transcends language and resonates with anyone who has ever loved and lost. Its gentle melody and clear vocals also make it an excellent song for language learners to follow along with and appreciate the nuances of Mandarin pronunciation.

[English]

The day you held an umbrella and picked me up

That memory is enough for me to remember forever

I understand now you weren't giving up easily

Love isn't foolproof after all

Tears left your fingertips

So maybe it's better to leave them on this letter

I think what makes girls the sweetest is

Letting the one you love choose how to end things

The happiest thing for me is having been your angel

During those sniffles, hiding the tears, so we can have that last hug like back then

The happiest thing is the gesture you make when blowing out candles and making a wish for me

Keeping a spot for the one you love in your heart, on the left side—that's true happiness

Sadly, love isn't a fairy tale

We can't always rely on a prince

No matter how hard it gets, there are only two words left

How could I bear to make it hard for you to explain?

The happiest thing for me is having been your angel

During those sniffles, hiding the tears, so we can have that last hug like back then

The happiest thing is the gesture you make when blowing out candles and making a wish for me

Keeping a spot for the one you love in your heart, on the left side—that's true happiness

That period with you was so beautiful, it didn't seem real

I'm so happy every moment was spent smiling and frozen in time

The happiest thing for me is walking with you every day

From the start of our love, even if we part ways, we’ll always be honest with each other

The happiest thing is shouting 'forever' to that sea with all my might

Thinking back to that day when we happily laughed and met each other

That was the happiest moment

...

[Chinese]

你撐著雨傘 接我那次

已經足夠我 記得一輩子

我懂後來你 不是不堅持

愛情本來就 沒萬無一失

淚水離開了 你的手指

那不如讓它 留在這信紙

我想女孩子 最貼心的是

讓愛的人選 結束的方式

我最幸福的事 當過你的天使

趁鼻酸能掩飾 讓我們像當時 擁抱最後一次

最幸福的事 吹蠟燭時你總為我許願的手勢

為摯愛的人 在左邊心口保留位置 是最幸福的事

可惜愛不是 童話故事

不能夠永遠 依賴著王子

再難過其實 只剩兩個字

我怎麼忍心 為難你解釋

我最幸福的事 當過你的天使

趁鼻酸能掩飾 讓我們像當時 擁抱最後一次

最幸福的事 吹蠟燭時你總為我許願的手勢

為摯愛的人 在左邊心口保留位置 是最幸福的事

那一陣子有你 美得不像現實

多高興每一幕都微笑著靜止

我最幸福的事 牽著你的日子

一段愛從開始 即使分開我們 都對彼此誠實

最幸福的事 對那片海用力大喊永遠的樣子

想得起那時 那天和你傻笑著認識

是最幸福的事
