“爱是可念不可说。”

"love: a concept to be brooded over but never talked about."

[chineselyricsquote]

Seeing me so distraught - don't tell me...it actually excites you?

Yi Dong in My Taoist Nun Friend （以冬  我的一个道姑朋友: 难道看我失魂落魄 你竟然心动）

[chineselyricsquote]

Fortunately through the struggles, this heart of mine has been cloaked in wounds. And when your faithless blade adds to it a fresh cut, how would I fear? It's not like it'd sting me at all.

Yi Dong in My Taoist Nun Friend （以冬  我的一个道姑朋友： 所幸经年漂浮红尘中 这颗心已是千疮百孔 怎惧你以薄情为刃 添一道裂缝 又不会痛）

[chineselyricsquote]

The longing still lives in the heart, and no matter how many realms separate us, it's still there, living and breathing.

Huang Li Hui in Breathing (黄丽慧 呼吸：思念却在心里 无论隔多少空间 一直呼吸）

[chineselyricsquote]

Our past love was just like lying on a bridge and having a beautiful dream, waking up from which I'd tumbled and plunged into the depths*, without ever leaving a trace.

Yi Dong in My Taoist Nun Friend （以冬  我的一个道姑朋友： 想起那年伞下轻拥 就像躺在桥索之上做了一场梦 梦醒后跌落粉身碎骨 无影亦无踪）

*The lyrics are really dark. This is set at the very end of the song, a tragic conclusion to all of the hurt described from the beginning. With regards to the theme of suicide I wouldn’t exactly call this a beautiful quote, but the grief and pain it encapsulates is nevertheless relatable on many levels, for many people.

The link doesn’t link to the original song by Yi Dong, but it’s more useful as the full English translation of the lyrics is available in this particular lyric video. 

[chineselyricsquote]

I'd rather bury the past in the wind, with my sword as the gravestone upon a burial mound of frost and snow.

Yi Dong in My Taoist Nun Friend （以冬  我的一个道姑朋友：不如将往事埋在风中 以长剑为碑以霜雪为冢）

[chineselyricsquote]

I've had a lot of unrealistic dreams, and in the end it's still just me, all alone to myself.

Alan Yu in Solitude （于朦胧 一个人过： 春秋大梦做了很多，最后还是一个人过）

[chineselyricsquote]

Love is something we can brood over in silence, but can never talk about in the open.

Queena Cui in Can Be Thought Of But Cannot Be Said （ 崔子格  可念不可说： 愛是可念不可說 ）

[chineselyricsquote]

Your familiar contours appear dappled through my watery vision as something entirely impossible to the touch.

Queena Cui in Can Be Thought Of But Cannot Be Said （ 崔子格  可念不可说：（熟悉的輪廓 淚眼中斑駁 望著卻無法觸摸）

[chineselyricsquote]

We fought with our lives to keep what was nothing but an illusory promise...and it's consumed a huge part of our youth.

Queena Cui in Can Be Thought Of But Cannot Be Said （ 崔子格  可念不可说： 苦守的執著，虛幻的一諾，空耗這青春許多）

[chineselyricsquote]

Tangled in soft silk, cuffed by shackles of jade and gold, and like snowflakes fluttering as they fall, it's beautiful, how we face death with such grace.

Queena Cui in Can Be Thought Of But Cannot Be Said （ 崔子格  可念不可说：似綾羅纏繞著，似枷鎖金裝玉裹。似雪花飛舞著墜落，美麗啊向死而活）

[chineselyricsquote]

You entered my life, then turned around and left - but love cannot be something run by one person alone.

Liu Zhe in After All, We Once Loved Deeply （六折 毕竟深爱过：你走进 我生命 却又转身离去，爱不可能 由一个人进行）

[chineselyricsquote]

Every time I lift up my head for you, even my tears get to enjoy freedom.

Silence Wang in Chasing The Light（汪蘇瀧 追光者：每當我為你抬起頭 連眼淚都覺得自由）

[chineselyricsquote]

Give me an oath to worship, for me to believe that happiness truly exists. Give me a call, so that I can open my eyes and come back to life.

Boon Hui Lu in Give Me A（文慧如 给我一个：给我一个誓言去崇拜， 相信幸福的存在， 给我一个， 呼唤，醒过来）

You wonder how hurt he is, but playing guessing games shall not become another burden of yours.

[chineselyricsquote]

I'd never thought that in a landslide or flood I'd be crazy enough to give up running for my life, just because you're no longer by my side.

G.E.M. in Light Years Away（邓紫棋 光年之外：我没想到为了你我能疯狂到 山崩海啸没有你根本不想逃）

[chineselyricsquote]

My scars have healed and I've forgotten the pain, but I'm willing let you pry open the wounds once again.

Canace in Illegal Property （亦帆 違建：  “ 好了傷疤就忘了痛 我任你一再剝開我的傷口“） 

[chineselyricsquote]

It takes courage to love a person, but to give up is a form of courage as well.
