This, a million times ^^^ The cultural gaps between what an English speaker would say and what a Chinese speaker would say become very apparent when translating songs, sadly
this is so true, as different words rhyme with different words in chinese that wouldn't rhyme at all in english, it might take longer to say a word in english aswell, messing up the beat, like for example 1:14, it would mess up the beat too much to say that in english, i could go on, but you get the point.
this song really does deserve some more love. its such a great song and I love how it incorporates sound effects from the game in the song much like Warriors did.
It's kinda one of those songs which sounds weird the first time you listen, then it gets better and better as you listen it, and by the fifth time you get addicted.
Everyone needs to keep in mind that different cultures languages don't translate in a way that nesisarily would make as much sense in a different language. (Can't spell btw)
Exactly, people who say "why do you listen to music when you can't understand what they're saying" don't truly understand music. Lyrics are 1 part of it.
The weird thing is that I’m Chinese but I don’t understand most of his pronunciations... Edit: this comment was made to insult myself for being shit in Chinese, I’m not suggesting that his Chinese is bad
Unlike Chinese language, in English, there is only one word to refer "Chinese" in many aspects. Most of Taiwanese people consider themselves as Chinese culturally and ethnically, but not politically. So the english word "Chinese" can butthurt some ignorant/mind fucked people, which is really stupid. You can be Taiwanese and Chinese at the same time.
For those of you who would like the lyrics in english the captions on youtube have already been written out! On that note, the lyrics themselves lack form. It's really just a lot of inside jokes, references etc. The entire thing sounds like it was written by a typical yasuo main. If I didn't know what the lyrics meant i'd like this song a lot more :P
Worlds Collide > Everything else. Cmon dude, that was the most epic song for a World Championship. The others are super good, but that one has the feels, the himn of the LCS. Plz rito make that the official song.
I'm bilingual in both Chinese (mandarin) and English, and the lyrics sound pretty normal to me. Not weird at all. Those of you who said it's weird you're probably not used to Chinese rap/hip hop yet. I love Jay Chou and LoL! ❤️
