The following is the English translation of the song sung by Tony Leung Chiu Wai 梁朝伟- It is hard to forget you/ Unforgettable 你是如此难以忘记. A video of this song with the translation would be posted featuring Kuala Lumpur Chinatown during 2025 CNY Celebration.
Tony Leung is a great and talented actor and I was surprised to find out that he could also sing. The lyrics of this song resonates with a lot of people. The pictures included in the video are photographed from Chinatown located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia during Chinese New Year of 2025. KL Chinatown is also known by other names such as Petaling Street and it is located around Jalan Sultan.

PART 1
早已知道爱情是难舍难离
Zǎoyǐ zhīdào àiqíng shì nán shě nán lí
I already know that love is hard to let go
早已知道爱一个人不该死心塌地
Zǎoyǐ zhīdào ài yīgè rén bù gāi sǐxīntādì
I already know that I shouldn’t love someone wholeheartedly.
早已不再相信所谓天长地久的结局
Zǎoyǐ bù zài xiāngxìn suǒwèi tiānchángdìjiǔ de jiéjú
I no longer believe in the so-called everlasting ending
所以我习惯了一个人的孤寂
Suǒyǐ wǒ xíguànle yīgè rén de gūjì
That’s why I am used to being alone
所以我习惯在人来人去中保持清醒
Suǒyǐ wǒ xíguàn zài rén lái rén qù zhōng bǎochí qīngxǐng
That’s why I am used to staying guarded amidst the comings and goings of people.
所以我习惯戴上面具
Suǒyǐ wǒ xíguàn dài shàng miànjù
Hence I wear a mask.
不再为谁付出真心
No longer give my heart to anyone
Bù zài wèi shéi fùchū zhēnxīn
但为何还是把你藏在心里
Dàn wèihé háishì bǎ nǐ cáng zài xīnlǐ
But why do I still keep you in my heart?
为什么还是等着你的消息
Wèishéme háishì děngzhe nǐ de xiāoxī
Why am I still waiting for news from you?
我怎能告诉自己说我一点都不在意
Wǒ zěn néng gàosù zìjǐ shuō wǒ yīdiǎn dōu bù zàiyì
How am I going to tell myself that I don’t care at all?
Part 2 ( video will be linked here once ready)
你是如此的难以忘记
Nǐ shì rúcǐ de nányǐ wàngjì
You are thus so unforgettable
浮浮沉沉的在我心里
Fú fú chénchén de zài wǒ xīnlǐ
Waivering around in my heart
你的笑容你的一动一举
Nǐ de xiàoróng nǐ de yīdòng yījǔ
Your smile, your every move
都是我所有的记忆
Dōu shì wǒ suǒyǒu de jìyì
Is all within my memory
你是如此的难以忘记
Nǐ shì rúcǐ de nányǐ wàngjì
You are so hard to be forgotten
浮浮沉沉的在我心里
Fú fú chénchén de zài wǒ xīnlǐ
Drifting up and down inside my heart
改变自己需要多少勇气
Gǎibiàn zìjǐ xūyào duōshǎo yǒngqì
How much courage does it take to change oneself?
翻腾的心情该如何平息
How to calm down the turbulence in my emotions
Fānténg de xīnqíng gāi rúhé píngxí
