愛就是咖哩
By: Yen-j/嚴爵
Album: Thanks Your Greatness
Translated intro from the lyric book:
"I tried to mix the 40's bebop jazz style that I like a lot with a modern Taiwanese pop style. It's a cover of a classic jazz song called 'Take the A Train'. I paired up Taiwanese, Chinese, and English lyrics to make this rich mashup to become my 'Yen-j style' cpop song."
Translator's Note:
I don't know Taiwanese...at all. So I did my best searching the internet for the general meaning of this song, but I can't completely guarantee my accuracy and I can't give you correct pronunciations.
....Enjoy it anyway? ^_^"

Besides joyful feelings,

I want to be with you to the end

Even if they say you're not beautiful enough

There's one thing you never understood, when I say

Loving you has to be with you

I never speak Taiwanese, so maybe you think I'm ABC
["ABC" = "American-Born Chinese"]
加你是跟你 咖哩是Curry
"ka li" is "gen ni"..."ka li" is "curry"

我 相信 音樂能夠
I believe music can
跨越國籍 超越邏輯 勝過那一切
Cross nationalities, surpass logic, and excel over everything
代表心裡 最想說出的 話 不管表達的是
Represent the words the heart wants to say most; No matter if the expression is
好 壞 實 謊 或 情
Good, bad, true, false, or feelings
我現在最在乎的是你聽到
What I care about most now is for you to hear
我ㄟ心聲 我欲加你講
My heart's voice, what I want to tell you

With you, I don't care about anyone else

**Translator's Note:
In this song, "ka li" is used as a pun. In Taiwanese, "ka li" means “跟你", or "with you", while in Mandarin, it means "curry". When Yen-J's lover asks him what love means to him, he answers in Taiwanese that love is "ka li", meaning that love to him is being with his loved one. But the way he says it makes it sound like he's saying "Love Is Curry"....so he just goes with it. XD
