Chinese Band: 831 (八三夭)

Posted by Charlie @ Discovering Mandarin Wednesday 26 August 2009
乐队(band): 八三夭 831
专辑(album): 拯救世界 Save the World
国家(country): Taiwan
发行时间(release date): March 2009




I just came across this striking band, not usually the music I would listen to, but caught my attention with a cool video and a catchy hook. Taiwanese emo-punk band 831 generated a lot of local buzz after producing the opening theme for the third season of popular Channel V program Circus Action. 831 sing mainly in Madarin, with odd parts of the chorus in English. Signed to Universal in Taiwan, they released their debut in March this year.





(Video Above) Translated Lyrics: 831 - Save the World

是誰 你的主題曲我的夏天
shì shéi nǐ de zhǔ tí qū wǒ de xiàtiān
Who is it? Your theme song. My summer

你的臉 你的眼 讓我融化毀滅
nǐ de liǎn nǐ de yǎn ràng wǒ rónghuà huǐmiè
Your face, your eyes, they make me melt and dissolve.

She says Will you be my boyfriend?

我看不見 卻能感覺 這血流不止的危險
wǒ kànbùjiàn què néng gǎnjué zhè xiě liú bùzhǐ de wēixiǎn
I can't see, but I can feel my blood bleeding nonstop- its dangerous

My god!

如何才能夠分辨 不停墜落的世界
rúhé cáinéng gòu fēnbiàn bùtíng zhuìluò de shìjiè
My god how can I differentiate in this never ending world

懦弱的臉 卻想改變 無法去承認的一切
nuòruò de liǎn què xiǎng gǎibiàn wúfǎ qù chéngrèn de yīqiè
(this) expressionless face actually wants to change, but can't admit to it all

My god!

註定失敗的諾言 我們卻不停的給
nuòruò de liǎn què xiǎng gǎibiàn wúfǎ qù chéngrèn de yīqiè
My god! A promise that's doomed to fail. But we can't stop giving it.

你是我是誰?我頭暈目眩!
nǐ shì wǒ shì shéi ?wǒ tóuyūn mù xuàn !
You are, I am who? My head's dizzy from it all.


是誰 你的主題曲我的夏天
shì shéi nǐ de zhǔ tí qū wǒ de xiàtiān
Who is it? Your theme song. My summer.

你的臉 你的眼 讓我溶化毀滅
nǐ de liǎn nǐ de yǎn ràng wǒ rónghuà huǐmiè
Your face, your eyes, they make me melt and dissolve.

She says Will you be my boyfriend?

你拯救了世界
nǐ zhěngjiù le shìjiè
You've saved the world

我看不見 卻能感覺 這血流不止的危險
wǒ kànbùjiàn què néng gǎnjué zhè xiě liú bùzhǐ de wēixiǎn
I can't see, but I can feel my blood flowing nonstop- its dangerous

My god!
