情非得已 Lyrics and English Translation (Meteor Garden)

 


情非得已 (Can't Help Falling in Love With You) is the theme song for the 2001 Taiwanese romance serial drama Meteor Garden (流星花園).  The song is composed by Malaysian composer and gospel singer 湯小康 (Tang Xiao Kang), and sung by Taiwanese singer-songwriter Harlem Yu.

The drama is based on Japanese shōjo manga series, Boys Over Flowers (Hana Yori Dango), written by Yoko Kamio. The drama features Barbie Shu, Jerry Yan, Vic Zhou, Vanness Wu and Ken Chu; the latter four collectively known as Taiwanese boy band F4 (Flower 4). The drama series became very popular not only in Taiwan, but also in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and even in the Philippines; and other Asian countries.

The story is about a young girl Shancai (Barbie Shu) from a humble background who managed to get into a university which was dominated by the F4 group, known to be a bullying and arrogant group of spoilt kids from rich families. Eventually, the girl’s strong personality which saw her standing up to the bullying group, eventually earned her the respect of the leader Dao Ming Si (Jerry Yan) of the F4 group; who ended up falling in love with her.

Another popular song from the series is the end theme song "The Love You Want" (你要的愛), composed and sung by Malaysian singer Penny Tai (戴佩妮).  It is notable that the two popular Mandarin songs from one of Taiwan’s most popular drama series are both composed by Malaysian Chinese. While Harlem Yu is famous for the song “情非得已”, the composer Tang Xiao Kang probably did not get the fame he sought for after struggling in Taiwan to compose a hit song, at one time even having no money to pay his room rent for several months. Let’s face it, the drama owes its popularity to the theme song; other than that, the story is not exciting and the acting rather stiff.

 Lyrics:
情非得已 (Can't Help Falling in Love With You)
Singer: 庾澄慶 (Harlem Yu)
Lyricist:張國祥
Composer:湯小康 (Tang Xiao Kang)

难以忘记初次见你, 一双迷人的眼睛
I cannot forget the first time I set my eyes on you,I see the eyes of a beautiful girl
在我脑海里, 你的身影, 挥散不去
In my mind, images of you will never disappear
握你的双手感觉你的温柔, 真的有点透不过气
Holding both your hands, I feel your tenderness,it really takes my breath away
你的天真, 我想珍惜, 看到你受委屈 我会伤心
Your innocence, I will always cherish. Seeing you suffer makes me feel sad
Wo...o...oh

只怕我自己会爱上你, 不敢让自己靠得太近
I am afraid I will fall in love with you; I am afraid to let myself get too close to you
怕我没什么能够给你, 爱你也需要很大的勇气
I am afraid I have nothing to give you; So loving you needs a lot of courage


只怕我自己会爱上你, 也许有天会情不自禁
I am afraid I will fall in love with you; Maybe one day I cannot control myself anymore
想念只让自己苦了自己, 爱上你是我情非得已
Just keep thinking of you only makes me suffer; I really can't help falling in love with you

Song repeats….

什么原因, 我竟然又会遇见你

Why do I unexpectedly meet you again?
我真的真的不愿意, 就这样陷入爱的陷阱
Although I am not ready, I can't help falling into love's entrapment
