^ You're welcome! I have Miss Spider & Longing as well!

Miss Spider
(By Google Translate and Me!) This song is vicious!

Great big eyes long eyelashes
Lips like a bright red cherry
Armed good appearance more than anything else
Please leave me with a man or demon
The sharp eyes of intuition is very accurate
A glance knowing you are not mortal
Do not ask me to love your money or people
Each spider wants to eat a monk

(I am ready...How about you?)

I want your heart, I want to kill you
I will gently wrap your body
And eat your soul and spit out love
The spider knows the cold reality of life


Longing

A boring night accompanied by a lonely smoke
Her dry lips gilded circle of Nicotine sets into
Sleepy fingers glide to her face
They don't know when to give up*
Thinking about yesterday's scenery and the endless night
She begins to panic

Love Love Love Love whether unscarred
Love Love Love Love people could not help but want to

The heart of a sultry night the song waves a fantasy
Her half-closed eyes caving in to her inner desire
The restless toes scrambling out of the detained shoes
How long heavy rains, the heart is full of weeds
She moans out "Oh my, oh my!"**

Love Love Love Love whether unscarred
Love Love Love Love people could not help but want to


Ok my Chinese isn't that good but I got the idea of the song (kinda). A lonely, probably old, woman is remembering good nights (:lech) and is getting hot and heavy over it.

*- I guess it was about her wrinkles keep forming on her face. I had a little bit of trouble translating but anyone is welcome to correct them!

**- All I could come up with was that she was...ummm you know...reaching a romantic peak lol

Thanks for sharing anyway~

pommy48 5th March 2013 06:43 PM

A lot better than Blue Jellyfish X_X that was a nightmare!

BlackSilence 5th March 2013 07:18 PM

Man that's such an amazing song and the PV is just *POOOF* (._.) I asume her videos are very conceptual but c'mmon...a cat? seriously? -_-"

i don't know why but her MV make me think of Yoko Ono lol

susiowong 7th March 2013 09:24 PM

Yeah, the PV is lame but OMG THAT CAT LOOKS JUST LIKE MY CAT CHICHI.

And also, elf ears.

Mimichild 7th March 2013 10:44 PM

Oh Asura, one of the most epic songs got the most cheapest PV. It has war-like helicopter sounds, fire crackling, gun-shots, and has a Rambo feel...yet we get her mostly standing and pretty pictures. :irked

Well at least she looks nice!

paper_doll 8th March 2013 03:24 AM

lol Those sound effects always make me feel like I'm in 'Nam or something. They need to put more money or effort (whatever it is, or both) into her videos :|

Surreal17 2nd April 2013 07:07 PM

Oh!!I finally found her lyrics translated!!Thanks so much!I searched a lot but never imagined I was so close to it.She's an unique talent with a unusual great voice but her pv's aren't that great although I liked Cables and Blue Jellyfish.
P.s. - and also thanks for Longing & Miss Spider,couldn't find them anywere.

Indeed! Pommy's hard work is much appreciated by the little community we have here. :laugh I always reference back to this thread when I'm listening to Sen :heart

An interesting find! I found an English version of "Footprints" called "Castaway"! It's really good!

BlackSilence 30th April 2013 07:21 AM

^nothing new there. That one came out first i believe.

Mimichild 1st May 2013 05:44 AM

It came out almost a year before "Footprints". But I just wanted to show it to people who may have not heard it.

axmish87 16th July 2013 01:12 AM

I recently discovered her as well and my favorite song is at the moment Ghost Street closely followed by Shadows, Asura, Cables, Drunk, Wolf
I am really looking forward to hear her new music

They probably wanted to see if it could break into US pop market? it seems like a song katy perry could make. XD[/url]

It could be this or the fact that Guy Sigsworth (he co-produced the album in case you didn't know) influenced her. I mean he worked with a lot of pop stars..but thanks god that this album is way apart from the usual generic electronic sound. It has a really edgy side to it. What do you think about the pvs? Have you seen any?

tsumekaze_ 22nd January 2014 12:44 AM

Oh I didn't know about it... So it's very possible that he influenced her uh. Still the rest of the album is perfection. Hope that she sticks with this genre of music in the future, instead of going towards more general nd common pop music. We're full of that!!! I want more challenging music like the one she showed us here :) anyway, I haven't seen any PV except for a very little piece of blue jellyfish. But I've heard they're often strange and daring, is that right? Would you recommend some to me?

NintendoHTF1242 22nd January 2014 03:05 PM

Hmm...gave her another chance. I like Ghost Street and Ferry is really eerie but cool. Too bad she hasn't released anything for a while.

Hm...this is where my problem with her begins. Her music is too good for the music videos she has released so far.:no . The problem may be with the budget allocated for her pvs as she isn't really well known (I wish she had more succes with the album!!:dead2 like Sa Ding Ding for example) , so it's quite understandable. Well, I really liked the Cable pv, it really fits the theme of the song ( I must mention that the pv is quite graphic with all kinds of symbols and stuff ..)

tsumekaze_ 8th February 2014 11:06 AM

^ so I watched some pvs. Gosh they are LAME. What a pity!!!! I'm not usually a cultor of pvs tho so I don't care that much but it's still a pity XD Her lyrics are very beautiful anyway, thanks for the translations!!!!

maddy1111 10th February 2019 03:23 AM

Does anyone know what is she doing now? it seems like her activities as singer has stopped a long time ago, not even her official site is working, but I cannot find any official statement (not even on chinese website).

I only found this:

A post on her Weibo from May 2018, her first in 2 years.
https://www.weibo.com/zenzenzenzen
"Long time no see".


A Teresa Teng cover on Chinese TV last year with Wu Tong:
https://www.bilibili.com/video/av33716985/

It doesn't look like she retired, couldn't find anything either about it.

mi|kshake 21st February 2019 03:41 AM

I really loved her album but not listened to it in forever! Really need to put it on again.

Xianghua 21st February 2019 08:13 AM

I miss her so much :( I wonder if everything is ok with her..
