Cai Hong...

As promised, here's the MV for Cai Hong (Rainbow), composed and sung by Jay Zhou, lyrics by Vincent Fang. There're two versions of the MV, one is for Taiwan, and is the China version.

1st version


Opening Voice Over:
4th November,
If only I could go back to the very beginning again,
I wish.. I had never existed in your life...


So, the storyline used a flash-back style; the guy was leaving behind his girlfriend, and at the train that took him somewhere, he was recalling about their past.
It was from the flashback that we know that the guy was accepted to a college somewhere far (the kanji is not quite clear). The girl was happy for him, and then asked him, why he didnt feel happy. The guy hugged her and told her that he would return home very quickly.
On the same day (I think), the girl returned home and found out that the guy left something in her mail-box. She opened it and saw an album (or diary). There the guy wrote (minutes 3:30)....

"When I found out that my life
is still only one-month left
The only thing I fear
is to have to meet your sadness
Thus, I choose to say farewell
I am sorry that I lied to you
Thank you that You have accompanied me
going to the places we have gone together
I would take those (memories) to heaven.."



2nd version


On a side note, the guy in the second version is kinda hot. ;-)
The guy in the MV was an artist, he painted and carved. His object was a girl. I am not sure how they met, but I knew that the girl found out the guy's home via her friend. The friendship then became love. The girl feel for the guy, but she hestitated. I dont know why, but she left the guy questioning about their relationship. At the end, the guy realised that the girl was a famous singer.. Or so it seems.


I myself like the first version better.. ;-)

Here's the song's translation:

Tell me where there are rainbows
Can it give me back my wish?
Why is the sky so tranquil?
All the clouds have come to where I am

[Have you] got a mouth mask you can give me?
I let go and said too much, then those things can't be realised
Perhaps time is a kind of cure
and also the poison I am taking right now

If I can't see your smile
How can I get to sleep
Your voice is so near yet I can't hold you
The sun will still spin without the earth
I can still walk by myself without a reason

You need to leave
I know it's very simple
You said that reliance
Was our obstacle
Even if you let go
But can you not confiscate my love?
Just pretend that I only understood at the end

If I can't see your smile
How can I get to sleep
Your voice is so near yet I can't hold you
The sun will still spin without the earth
I can still walk by myself without a reason
I let go and say too much, then those things can't be realised
Perhaps time is a kind of cure
It is also the poison I am taking right now
