Drunken Tango - Teresa Teng
My version: I've translated because I'm bored. I'm bored. Who will save me? Ever since I've signed up for these classes with a huge break between them, loneliness has accompanied me. If I don't translate, how can I pass the time?
酒醉的探戈
Drunken Tango
我醉了 因为我寂寞
I've gotten drunk because I'm lonely.
我寂寞 有谁来安慰我
I'm lonely. Who will come comfort me?
自从你离开我 那寂寞就伴着我
Ever since you've left me, loneliness has accompanied me.
如果没有你 日子怎么过
If I don't have you, how can I pass the time?
往日的旧梦 就像你的酒窝
The old dreams of the past are just like your dimple.*
酒窝里有你 也有我
I'm in the bar and so are you.
酒醉的探戈 酒醉的探戈
Drunken tango, drunken tango.
告诉他 不要忘记我
I tell him not to forget me.
啊..... 酒醉的探戈
Oh...Drunken tango.
我醉了 因为我寂寞
I've gotten drunk because I'm lonely.
我寂寞 有谁来安慰我
I'm lonely. Who will come comfort me?
自从你抛弃我 那泪水就伴着我
Ever since you've dumped me, tears have accompanied me.

Drunken tango, drunken tango.
告诉他 不要忘记我
I tell him not to forget me.
啊..... 酒醉的探戈
Oh...Drunken tango.
* "酒" refers to alcohol, but it's part of the word for "dimple," so I'm pretty sure the next line is referring to a bar and not an actual dimple. I tried looking up info on this, but not having Pinyin input in the computer I'm currently using, all I could come with was a list of Chinese stars who have dimples. I find this amusing: Jay has one J and one dimple. JJ has two Js and two dimples.
I don't feel like doing Pinyin. I don't know why.
