Silence (安静) - Jay Chou Chinese & Hmong Cover by Maa Vue

A new cover to accompany you on this #tusiabtuesday morning. It was definitely a challenge to sing in Chinese, but so worth the experience of learning something new. I'm reminded of how lucky I am to be bilingual (English and Hmong) and thankful to those who help keep our beautiful Hmong language alive.

Dedicated to a dear sister who requested this song.

Lyrics:
只剩下钢琴陪我谈了一天
zhī shèng xià gāng qín péi wǒ tán le yī tiān
only the piano accompanies me throughout the day

睡着的大提琴 安静的旧旧的
shuì zhe de dà tí qín ān jìng de jìu jìu de
the sleeping cello, it’s silent and old

我想你已表现的非常明白
wǒ xiǎng nǐ yǐ biǎo xiàn de fēi cháng míng bái
i think you’ve made yourself clear

我懂我也知道 你没有舍不得
wǒ dǒng wǒ yě zhī dào nǐ méi yǒu shě bù dé
i understand and i know, you don’t regret it

kuv tsis ntseeg tias koj tu siab zoo li kuv thiab
I don’t believe that you’re heartbroken like me

ntawm koj thiab kuv twb dhau mus ua yav tag
What’s left of you and me has turned into history

hnub twg koj nrhiav tau tus neeg hlub koj dua kuv
Someday when you find that person who loves you more than me

ces kuv mam ua ib siab tso koj
Then I’ll be content to let you go

你要我说多难堪 我根本不想分开
nǐ yào wǒ shuō duō nán kān wǒ gēn běn bù xiǎng fēn kāi
you want me to say it, but it is awkward - I don’t even want to break up

为什么还要我用微笑来带过
wéi shí me hái yào wǒ yòng wēi xiào lái dài guò
why must I depend on a smile to pull me through?

yog tias koj xav hlub nrog nws
if you really want to love that person

txhob txhawj kuv mam li zam kev
don’t worry, I won’t get in the way

koj lub siab twb tsis nrog kuv
your heart is no longer with mine

kuv mam li yog tus ncaim mus
I will be the one to say goodbye

你已经远远离开 我也会慢慢走开
nǐ yǐ jīng yuǎn yuǎn lí kāi wǒ yě huì màn màn zǒu kāi
you’ve already gone far away, and I will slowly walk away

为什么我连分开都迁就著你
wéi shí me wǒ lián fēn kāi dōu qiān jìu zhù nǐ
why is it that I have to accommodate you even when we break up?

tsis xav ntsia koj hlub nrog nws
don’t want to see you be in love with them

kuv mam li tu siab twj ywm
I will be heartbroken in silence

vim tias koj yog tus kuv hlub
because you’re the one that I love

kuv mam ua siab tso koj mus
I will finally let you go
