Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Mermaid”
wǒ zài shā tān huá gè yuán quān
我 在 沙 滩 划 个 圆 圈
I drew a circle on the beach
shǔ yú wǒ liǎng ān yì shì jiè
属 于 我 俩 安 逸 世 界
It belongs to our easygoing world
bú yòng hé bié rén lián xiàn
不 用 和 别 人 连 线
You don’t need to join with anyone else
wǒ bú guǎn nǐ lái zì shēn yuān
我 不 管 你 来 自 深 渊
I don’t mind that you came from the abyss
yě bú zài hū shēn shàng lín piàn
也 不 在 乎 身 上 鳞 片
I also don’t care about the scales on your body
ài qíng néng chāo yuè yī qiē
爱 情 能 超 越 一 切
Love can transcend everything
zhī yào nǐ zài wǒ shēn biān
只 要 你 在 我 身 边
As long as you’re by my side
suǒ yǒu fēi yǔ liú yán wán quán shì ér bú jiàn
所 有 蜚 语 流 言 完 全 视 而 不 见
All the gossip and rumors, I’ll completely turn a blind eye to
qǐng bú yào cōng cōng yī miàn
请 不 要 匆 匆 一 面
Please don’t be in a hurry
yī zhuǎn shēn jiù chén rù hǎi píng xiàn
一 转 身 就 沉 入 海 平 线
To sink into the sea’s horizon
chuán shuō zhōng nǐ wéi ài gān xīn bèi gē qiǎn
传 说 中 你 为 爱 甘 心 被 搁 浅
Legends say you willingly placed yourself in the shallows for love
wǒ yě kě yǐ wéi nǐ
我 也 可 以 为 你
For you, I could also
qián rù hǎi lǐ miàn
潜 入 海 里 面
submerge myself in the ocean
zěn me rěn xīn duàn jué
怎 么 忍 心 断 绝
How can you be so cruel to break it off?
wàng jì wǒ bú biàn de shì yán
忘 记 我 不 变 的 誓 言
You’ve forgotten my unchanging promise
wǒ yǎn lèi duàn le xiàn
我 眼 泪 断 了 线
The broken line of my tears…
xiàn shí lǐ yǒu le wǒ duì nǐ de juàn liàn
现 实 里 有 了 我 对 你 的 眷 恋
In reality, I feel emotionally attached to you
wǒ yuàn yì huà zuò diāo xiàng
我 愿 意 化 作 雕 像
I’m willing to become a statue
děng nǐ chū xiàn
等 你 出 现
waiting for you to appear
zài jiàn zài yě bú jiàn
再 见 再 也 不 见
Goodbye, we’ll never meet again
xīn suì le piāo dàng zài hǎi biān
心 碎 了 飘 荡 在 海 边
Heartbroken, ripples floating at the seaside
nǐ tái tóu jiù kàn jiàn
你 抬 头 就 看 见
If you raise your head, you’ll see
