Peng You (Friends)

I've had this song in my YouTube favorites for a while now... because I liked the melody and the meaning behind it.  The simplicity of a piano playing the melody adds to it in my opinion.

The song itself is about friends.  It's lyrics are written in Chinese, but below is a translation.  So the words won't match the melody if you try to sing it... since the Chinese pronunciation requires a different syllable count.  And while some of the stanzas come back a little bizarre in the translation... the overall meaning... about friendship... remains.  Plus the guy playing it on YouTube puts such emotion into it. :)



All these years, alone
The wind has passed, the rain has gone
There were tears, there were wrongs
Things we hold dear I still recall

If you've had true love, then you would know
There is loneliness, there are goodbyes
There are dreams, always there is you
In my heart

Friends walk this life together
Those days will not return
One word, one life
A lifetime relationship, a cup of wine

With friends, you won't be lonely
Lifelong friends, you'd understand
There are wounds, there is pain
Must go our separate ways
Always there is me
