This is the latest movie by Jackie Chan. He is an archaeologist who has dreams of a time and love from the Qin Dynasty. The movie is about his exploration of this mystery and the other historical myths.

This movie was better than I expected. But what I really like about it is the theme song (title: 《无尽的爱》 or “Endless Love”) from the movie. You will not believe how many times I have played this song over and over again all in one sitting. It is incredibly beautiful. The lyrics are in Chinese and Korean and sung by Jackie Chan and the Korean lead actress from the movie.

When I first heard the song, I did not understand the words, but I was fascinated by the tenderness conveyed in the melody, the singers’ voices, and the blend of Chinese and Korean language. It makes me feel so sad for the lead characters, and it makes me crave the feeling of being in love. I do not know why. Maybe I am slightly homesick and am missing people I love. I do not think I have been this affected by a Chinese movie (much less a Chinese song) before. Amazing.

I am putting the music up now on this blog. As I am streaming the song from another website, it might be a little choppy, sorry about that. Here are the lyrics in Chinese. I would totally spoil the song if I tried to translate the lyrics, so I will not. So if you cannot read the words, just listen. All you really need to know is that this is a love song.

解开我
最神秘的等待
星星坠落风在吹动
终于再将你融入怀中
两颗心颤抖
相信我
不变的真心
千年等待有我承诺
无论经过多少的寒冬
我绝不放松

(Girl, in Korean)
现在紧抓紧我的双手
闭上了眼睛
请你回想起我们过去恋爱的日子
我们因为太相爱，所以更使我们痛苦
我们连爱你这一句话都无法说

(Guy, in Chinese)
每一夜
被心痛穿越
思念永没有终点
早习惯了孤独相随
我微笑面对
相信我
你选择等待
再多苦痛也不闪躲
只有你的温柔能解救
无边的冷漠

(Girl, in Korean)
现在紧抓紧我的双手
闭上了眼睛
请你回想起我们过去恋爱的日子
我们因为太相爱
所以更使我们痛苦
我们连爱你一句话都无法讲

(Together, in Chinese)
让爱成为你我心中那永远盛开的花
穿越时空决不低头
永不放弃的梦

(Girl, in Korean)
我们因为太相爱
所以更使我们痛苦
我们连爱你一句都无法讲

(Together, in Chinese)
让爱成为你我心中那永远盛开的花

(Girl, in Korean)
我们千万不要忘记我们的爱，那永远的约定

(Together, in Chinese)
唯有真爱追随你我
穿越无劲的时空

(Girl, in Korean)
我们连爱你一句都无法讲

(Guy, in Chinese)
爱是心中唯一不变美丽的神话
