Since February this year, there has been a song that keeps coming up in my mind, and I haven’t sung it since my primary school graduation in 1993 when the song had just been released. The song is called “祝福” which means “Blessing” in English, and the lyrics are about friends saying farewell to each other, and wishing the memories between them will stay with their heart where ever they go in the future.

It is a very emotional song. Every time I hear it, I will start thinking about the past, and wondering where my friends are now, and what they are doing…

Steven Curtis Chapman did an English cover version of the song in 2006, and whoever did the translation of the lyrics did an excellent job, captured all the emotional and meaningful words of the original Chinese.

不要問　不要說　一切盡在不言中
這一刻　偎著燭光　讓我們靜靜的渡過
莫揮手　莫回頭　當我唱起這首歌
怕只怕　淚水輕輕的滑落　願心中永遠留著我的笑容
伴你走過每一個春夏秋冬

幾許愁　幾許憂　人生難免苦與痛
失去過　才能真正懂得去珍惜和擁有
情難捨　人難留　今朝一別各西東　冷和熱　點點滴滴在心頭
願心中永遠留著我的笑容　伴你走過每一個春夏秋冬

傷離別　離別雖然在眼前　說再見　再見不會太遙遠
若有緣　有緣就能期待明天　你和我重逢在燦爛的季節

不要問　不要說　一切盡在不言中
這一刻　偎著燭光　讓我們靜靜的渡過
莫揮手　莫回頭　當我唱起這首歌
願心中留著笑容　陪你渡過每個春夏秋冬

The Blessing – Steven Curtis Chapman

Let’s not say another word, we don’t need to question why.
Let us pass through this moment like a candle in the night.
We don’t need to wave it back.
This is not the final song.
Even though in the sadness tears may fall.

Take my smile, hold it in your heart forever.
And I will be with you wherever you may go.

How much pain must we taste.
How much sorrow must we know.
Will be only nothing losing.
How to cherish when we go.
How agony is like the wind we can hold it in our hands.
In the light of a new day we will understand.

Take my smile, hold it in your heart forever.
And I will be with you wherever you may go.

May the love rise to meet you on your way.
May the sun always shines upon your face.
And until the journey brings us back together.
May God holds you in the center of His hands.

May the love rise to lead you on your way.
May the sun always shines upon your face.
And until the journey brings us back together.
May God holds you in His hands.

May the love rise to lead you on your way.
May the sun always shines upon you face.
And until the journey brings us back together.
May God holds you in the center of His hands.
May God holds you in the center of His hands.
