The Fable

I finally found the song I'd been searching for! I'd heard it a number of times in the past. It's a Chinese song called 寓言 ("The Fable") with a tune that sounds like "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen".

I wasn't even searching for it at the time. I was just looking for other songs I was in the mood for. I thought about the song "Over The Rainbow" and remembered there was a version I particularly liked. I found the one sung by 張韶涵 (Angela Chang, sometimes spelled Zhang) on Spotify. She's a Taiwanese singer and actress.

I love her voice and she does so well with this song. Her English is perfect. However, it was the next song on the album that really got me excited.

And the lyrics are better than I had assumed they'd be. Here's an English translation after running them through Google Translate.

I wandered into this lively street　The sun made me a little tired

It’s weird that I’ve loved broken thoughts recently, but I think I DON’T CARE

I stand in front of joy, anger, sorrow and joy, and read my next picture

I want to take risks, no matter how dangerous the journey is, NA~

＊I look forward to a fairy-tale love but I don’t want that absolute

　Give me a big hug　What language I DON'T CARE

　I have to concentrate on understanding every day　 still learn to pass the time

　Fly a little higher 　 make myself the most special NA~

I discovered the difference between dream and reality 　against the wind 　 let myself experience every feeling

It’s like a fable　 I’ve seen this day with tears and joy, I want to chase 　 Pursue the perfect world

Repeat ＊

I discovered the difference between dream and reality 　against the wind 　 let myself experience every feeling

It’s like a fable　 I’ve seen this day with tears and joy, I want to chase 　 Pursue the perfect world

I want to fly 　 fly high, very far in my world 　 my freedom

Kan Ba ​​De Ne　 not afraid of not going back

Close your eyes and make a wish

I discovered the difference between dream and reality 　against the wind 　 let myself experience every feeling

It’s like a fable　 I’ve seen this day with tears and joy, I want to chase 　 Pursue the perfect world

I want to fly 　 fly high, very far in my world 　 my freedom

It’s like a fable　 I’ve seen this day with tears and joy, I want to chase 　 Pursue the perfect world

I still want to fly
