Song: 可爱的人生 An Adorable Life
When I was growing up, my mother would tune into Chinese oldies, especially songs from the 60s and 70s. I find the lyrics meaningful and I learnt a lot of life lessons just by listening to them.
Lately I have singing this song "An Adorable Life" to myself and my sister when we skype. At various stages of my life, the lyrics have always reminded myself not to give up hope during difficult times.
This morning I found a clip from youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4C7F9pcImRw. This song is performed by an uncle in his 50s, and he sounds like the original singer 黄清元 Huang Qing Yuen.
The English translation is next to the Mandarin lyrics.
Enjoy...

An Adorable Life
可爱的人生 (词 曲 ) (Source: http://www.1ting.com/ ★ noni99 )
有人是哭哭啼啼过一生 Some people cry throughout their lives
有人是开开心心过一生 Some people are happy throughout their lives
哈 虽然是人人的想法不同 Although everyone thinks differently
啊 终归的可爱的人生 In the end (it is) an adorable life
开心的时候你手拉着手 When you are happy you are holding hands
悲哀的时候你放下了手 When you are sad you let go (of the hand)
一个人寂寞地喝着苦酒 A person (is) drinking bitter wine alone
一个人寂寞地让那泪儿流 A person (is) crying alone
哈 虽然是人人的想法不同 Although everyone thinks differently
终归的可爱的人生 In the end (it is) an adorable life
有人是满怀希望过一生 Some people feel hopeful throughout their lives
有人是灰心失望过一生 Some people feel hopeless throughout their lives
哈 虽然是人人的想法不同 Although everyone thinks differently
啊 终归的可爱的人生 In the end (it is) an adorable life
贫穷也不怕我有朋友 In poverty I am not afraid because I have friends
困难也不怕我会奋斗 In difficult times I am not afraid because I will work harder
当这个世界到处可走 In this world I can go anywhere
就当这个世界充满自由 In this world freedom is everywhere
哈 虽然是人人的想法不同 Although everyone thinks differently
终归的可爱的 可爱的人生 In the end (it is) an adorable life
哈 虽然是人人的想法不同 Altough everyone thinks differently
啊 终归的可爱的人生 In the end it is an adorable life
开心的时候你手拉着手 When you are happy you are holding hands
悲哀的时候你放下了手 When you are sad you let go (of the hand)
一个人寂寞地喝着苦酒 One person (is) drinking bitter wine alone
一个人寂寞地让那泪儿流 One peson (is) crying alone
哈 虽然是人人的想法不同 Although everyone thinks differently
终归的可爱的 可爱的人生 In the end (it is) an adorable, adorable life
