你一定要幸福 Please be happy (lyrics translation)
This is one of the first songs that made China singer He Jie famous. It is also a song I have liked very much for a long time, and a must sing at karaoke :)
何洁 He Jie - 你一定要幸福 Please be happy

Following the street lamps I walk home alone
On the phone with an old friend
'How is the weather over there?'
'Any news that we can joke about?'
Memories and I don't like to talk much
Once in awhile I will think of him
A little tug of yearning in my heart
But certain feelings are inevitable lost to distance
In the middle of the soulless quiet night I think of him
The flowers he sent
And those heart wrenching words of love
Gambling for a bargain of happiness
In the street bustling with people I think of him
How is he doing now?
Although I couldn't give you the answer you sought
But please be happy
Chinese
你一定要幸福
沿着路灯一个人走回家
和老朋友打电话
你那里天气好吗
有什么新闻可以当作笑话
回忆与我都不爱说话
偶尔我会想起他
心里有一些牵挂
有些爱却不得不各安天涯
在夜深人静的时候想起他
送的那些花
还说过一些撕心裂肺的情话
赌一把幸福的筹码
在人来人往的街头想起他
他现在好吗
可我没有能给你想要的回答
可是你一定要幸福呀
