Xunuo "Promise" Translation by umijii

Xunuo "Promise" Translation

umijii

I usually hate romance, but for some reason this is my favorite movie. This song is also one of my favorites and very moving to me. When I put on English subtitles one day I realized it was... really odd compared to what was being sung. Then I looked for a more proper translation into English, but there was an even worse one. Not dissing on them. It was actually good effort, but I can tell what went wrong. I'm very moved by the poetic-ness of this song, so I couldn't leave it alone. kekeke

Not saying mine is perfect either, there were a lot of liberties taken since you can't just turn some Chinese phrases into English ones without it looking really weird, or it will mean a phrase, but is said very differently in the other language and vice versa. Chinese is also grammatically formatted in a way that each sentence can have more than one way to be translated. But I did my best.
