Zhoumi 太贪心 (Blind) Lyrics

Blind Chinese version
太贪心 (Literally translate to 'Too Greedy')

Sang by Zhoumi

在与你相遇的曾经 我找到幸福的定义
At that time when I met you, I found the definition of happiness

心跳每天感动的提醒 我的视线只为你牵引
The emotions I feel in my heartbeat remind me daily, my eyes only follows you

跟着你疯了 我也愿意
I am willing even if I become crazy following you

从不知以爱的名义  会把你埋在怀里 承受爱的艰辛
Never did I know I will bury you in my arms in the name of love, bearing the hardships of love

*怪我的眼太贪心 爱流得不剩一滴
*Blaming it on my eyes for being too greedy, love flows till nothing is left

 太贪心 犯滥的爱快淹没了你
Too greedy, overflowing love has drowned you

怪回忆都太贪心 美得让我看不见你
Blaming it on my memories for being too greedy, it's so beautiful that I can't see you

吞噬爱的伤痕 失去 你对爱贪图的心
Devouring the scars of love, your greed for love is gone

我以为爱永远晶莹 没有人比你更透明
I thought love will always be crystal clear, no one will be more transparent than you


如今隔着幸福的玻璃 蒙尘的你我已看不清
Right now separated by the glass of happiness, you are covered by dust I can no longer see you clearly

痛碎的心 总是让你哭泣
Your broken heart always make you cry

*Repeat

还贪图你的背影
Still longing for your shadow

还来得及吗 后悔着说不出的伤
Can I still make it?  Pain that cannot be told in my regret

怪我的手太贪心 都冷了还想握紧
Blaming my hand for being too greedy, wanting to hold on to it even when it has turned cold

 太贪心 贪心得还不放弃爱你
Too greedy, so greedy that I am not ready to give up on loving you

怪发丝也太贪心 不断纠缠我的眼睛
Blaming the hair for being too greedy, they continue to blind my eyes

无法摆脱过去 爱你 还想爱你 那颗我贪图的心
Unable to break away from the past, loving you, still want to love you, the heart of mine that is too greedy.

爱你 我贪图的你的心
Loving you, your heart that I am greedy for

当代歌坛 Zhoumi Interview

当代歌坛
Zhoumi Interview





About China Line
Recently you hosted C-Radio with Jia and Fei, how do you feel?
It was relaxing because it's my mother tongue and the two partners, Jia and Fei, are good friends of mine so I don't feel nervous at all. To us, this radio show has a special meaning. I have know Jia and Fei for more than a year and we always talk about having a show for China Line. Coincidently, MBC wanted to do a program like this. They looked for us and we accepted it. Although the 3 of us are DJs whenever there are guest there, I feel like this radio show belongs to everyone. We chatted like friends, letting others know how it is like to be a Chinese living in Korea.


Are you the head of the China Line?
There isn't really a leader but if you arrange us according to age, I am the first. Hahaha (The manager quickly shifted the conversation back) Ok ok, I was 18 last year. We have different roles in the China Line. Like there will be a member who will suggest for gatherings. That member is often EXO's Tao or Tasty's Big and Litte Dragon. Jia is in charge of communication, she will contact everyone. Every time when we gather, I will lead and start the talk because I am the oldest. Hahaha (laughing again, actually how are you old?). I have been to Korea for 6 years and it was the first time 7/8 of us gathered together for Mid Autumn festival. Just eating with friends like this gave me a lot of thoughts. Alone for so long, finally we can gather together. 


Do you have anything to tell the new trainees who just arrived in Korea?
As long as you are a Chinese debuting in Korea, we are happy to gather with you. I feel that those artistes work overseas are really having a hard time. Like us, who are older hahahaha (laughing once again, stop saying you are old, you are just a big boy), when we are having a hard time we can still bear with it. But those who are younger than us, they will miss home more. Since we have a Line, all of us can take care of each other like family. So we welcome any Chinese artistes who are working in Korea to come join us.


Fast Thinking Musician
Who do you interact with more in terms of music?
Musically, Lay (EXO) chats with me a lot. I only started composing these two years, previously I only wrote lyrics. Lay likes to compose too, he started before his debut. He likes to pull me into his room and say "Hyung, listen to this song I made". At that time he compose mainly on the theme of family love. Something like 'I miss you Mum', so I really can't give him much advice. These few years he has slowly turned right (Turned Right? This kid was probably being influenced by his hyungs), and started composing songs which I can give more advice. Slowly, we started chat more, including the music styles he likes. He is growing up and becoming more matured.


What kind of habits do you have when composing? For example do you write the lyrics first or the melody?
I think, whether a song is nice or not depends a lot on the melody. So when I am composing a song, I will compose the melody first then write the lyrics. What did you ask me just now? (What kinds of habits do you have when composing?) I can't drag stuff. I have a fast personality. Just like when I wrote my book. When I knew that I had the possibility of publishing the book, I didn't sleep for 4 days when I was in Thailand. I wrote it throughout the night, every night, I wrote for like 5 hours. I was afraid that if I drag, I might not want to do this on again on the second day. Basically when the company gives me a song, I will hand it in the second day. I will only give myself one night's time. From 12am when it's deep into the night and quiet, when it's quiet, I can think better without getting distracted. 


How many times did you amend the lyrics the most?
Up till now I have written 9 songs' lyrics. The company seems to approve my lyrics pretty quickly. But I am suspecting if they approve it because they saw that it's written by me. Hahaha.. but actually they did do some selecting. Maybe because I have been with the company for a long time,so I know what kind of feel they want. What kind of lyrics should match this music style. Because we have Korean members so I avoid using hard words. After a long time, I understand more in these areas than people outside (not in the company).


What kind of music styles are you more incline to? Ballads or Dance?
I prefer slow ballads because I think I am most comfortable with that, more relaxed. But I want to try different styles lately. SJM has more fast songs but whenever I said that I want to sing and dance together, Jia and Fei will tease me, they will tell me "Just sing your songs well". I will reply them "Please, I belong to the dance scene". So I am looking for a chance in future to do something awesome to give them a shock. But right now I still do mainly ballads.


Self-Improving Actor
What plans do you have for acting?
Actually I received a role in September but before I join the filming crew, there were some changes so I didn't go for it in the end. However I have not been lazing for this half year. Besides the concerts with SJ and some solo activites, I am also preparing new productions. Hopefully they can be released soon. Because as long as there is an opportunity, I would like to try it out. At first the company assigned me as singer but slowly I get to do MCing, writing and dramas. They are all trying processes for me. If I don't try it, I will not know if I will really like it. After trying, I feel that maybe I can really do this and work harder for it, getting better at this area, to do the role better when I receive a new script. 


What kinds of roles do you want to challenge next?
I want to try out lifestyle dramas. Those that mothers like to watch. Recently I am watching 'Let's Get Married'. Considering my looks and age, it may be a little too early to try out this kind of drama. But I really got lots of feelings from that drama because the actors really did it very well. The script was good too, I feel like getting married with someone after watching it. This is the influence that the actors of that show gave me. I don't know if it is possible but I really want to try out lifestyle dramas. Actually I wanted to try doing the bad guys because I think my looks especially suits it. Those kind of cool bad guys with fire in their hearts but looks cold on the outside. But after watching 'Let's Get Married' I think it's a challenge too to act as a normal everyday peasant. I can make myself look uglier but if that doesn't work then I have no idea how. (But you are unable to convince others that you want to get married) But look at Gao YuanYuan, she is so pretty and she gives people the impression that she doesn't want to get married... yet she doesn't look awkward in that show. (Even after the manager and I made fun of him, he is still persistence with doing a life drama).

Editor's note:
Zhoumi brought along a youthful looking coat but the photographers ignored it. In the end that coat didn't make it to appear on screen. During the interview, Zhoumi persistently wore it to show a bit of pity and protest.Till the end of the interview, he still wanted to try shoot some pictures with it.

Zhoumi's interview with iQiyi



Click here for the interview video

Zhoumi: Thailand trip was a personal schedule, so I booked the air tickets and the transport myself. The funny thing is I often play with the fans there. The local fans in Thailand. They were surprised because normally I go to Thailand for work or performances. I don't understand Thai, so for example when I was in Pattaya, I can't find a taxi so I had to take the Tuk Tuk. It's like a motorcycle and I need to tell the driver the location. But I didn't know how to so the fans took me to get a Tuk Tuk and told me which places to go to and brought me to eat seafood. But I have to pay for all the expenses... hahaha... I was really happy, it's a rare chance to get together with them.

MC: Does the company staff knows about this?

Zhoumi: No.. but now they do.. cuz they are right beside me right now.

Zhoumi: After cutting out the shape of the photos, and then cut out the sides following the shape of the photos. I stick them on layer by layer. It's all done by hand. I think it still look different from a computer generated one. And I think the method is very simple. I gave everyone an idea in this book. If you want to make a book like this, it's not that hard. I drew a comic strip at the end, I drew it myself, teaching you how to cut and stick them together. You can make one of your own, it might not be for Thailand, it might be England, London, a travelogue of your own. 

Zhoumi: I wasn't the kind that got promoted highly by everyone when I debuted.

MC: You are famous now.

Zhoumi: I don't feel that I am famous now too.. hahahaha.. I had more anti-fans when I debuted. I am not sure if you know the situation, maybe you don't know. I was added into an already matured group so many people opposed me. I think many singers will not have an experience like this but I treasure this process. Because it makes me appreciate the fans I have now. You may not treasure these things if they come too easily. When you don't have it, you will want to work even harder to show everyone. I can't say that I am doing very well now but the process of doing it was a self-helping. I hope that I can spread this energy to everyone, that is if you want to do something, work hard for it.

MC: Zhoumi mentioned that the Korean ent companies paved the road for their artistes well. Even if you are lacking, you can still make it up by working hard. Compared to releasing albums, it's harder to find a personal style.

Zhoumi:
(Recounting how he met Victoria) There is a basement in the company, the practice room and we were practicing our dance. Suddenly a company staff told me that a girl from China is coming, her name is Song Qian. But Koreans doesn't speak with tones so she pronounced Song4 Qian4 as Song4 Qian2 (Giving out money). So I thought, why is her name 'Giving Money', it's funny. 'Giving Money' to SM. So I went to take a look at her. My first impression was this girl has big eyes. She didn't have make up on and had some pimples. But I can feel that this girl should look good on cameras and she will be pretty with some make up on. We didn't chat much though. She was a little timid and shy. She was the only one who was the same age as me among the trainees. I debuted 3 or 4 months after she arrived. We had some interactions, because she can dance better and I sing better so we will share experiences with each other. Like she would tell me how to dance better and I taught her singing, we became closer like this.

130717 Cosmo 20 SJM Interview

Siwon


Q: How will you proof your ability?
SW: I think whatever we do, we must prioritize. What to do first and what to do last. This is something that I learnt recently. To me, nothing comes naturally. If you do your best to achieve it, god will take care of you. When others see your sincerity, they will acknowledge you too.

Q: What is the thing that you want to do most right now?
SW: Sharing. Because I have received a lot of love, so now I want to use many ways to share this love. If we have a motive, the goal will appear automatically. I already have my motive, therefore my goal has been achieved.

Q: Many people say that Siwon's trademark is his smile. What kind of energy do you thinking smiling can give you?
SW: I smile because I am happy, really happy when I smile! For people, we should be be happy and harmonious when we are together, this is very important. And what is amazing is if we smile often, people around you will smile too and good fortune will come along.

Q: What is your definition of a handsome gentleman?
SW: Gentleman, it is not a confidence that you achieve from your physical figure or putting effort in your fashion. In the past, I only wear clothes well but now to think about it, that is just an empty shell. We should feel happiness from our hearts, take care of others, then will we walk out of our 'shells'. People with a good heart will look like a gentleman.

When we look at older people, we wonder how they lived all these years. We can tell from their faces. Those uncles who look handsome has a harmonious, kind face and an air of ease around them. I have been learning this all this while. Of course, you must still take care of your appearance.

Q: Are you happy with your situation now?
SW: I will respect any form of existence. I have faith recently so I don't feel unhappy with anything these days.


Donghae
 
Q: What sort of things will increase your desire to create?
DH: Till now, I have only produced music. Recently, I have taken an interest in filming. When I am working out or when I am walking around and I see something interesting, I will record it, even if it's only something simple. When watching a movie or friends' concerts, I will learn many things and many inspirations will come along.

Q: Anything happened recently that moved you to tears?
DH: Recently, I watched a few movies which made me shed a lot of tears. For example, The Saddest Separation (literal translation), it was really sad, I cried many times. I choose the movies according to my mood at that time, members will also recommend me movies. I cry when I watch a touching film but I feel happy too. It's like smiling with tears, this happens more often.
 
Q: How to you release stress?
DH: Recently I have a lot of stress. To me, everyday is hard, so sometimes I will intentionally not do anything. People sometimes feel like they don't want to do anything at all, there are things that we have to do but we just don't feel like doing it, it happens sometimes. Recently I run a lot on the streets or strolling because the weather has been good. I meet my friends a lot, do sports with the members like basketball or soccer, I release stress like this.
 
Q: 3 lines that you speak best in Chinese?
DH: Forever together, Dear darlings, Call me. (lmao)

Q: Are you really a guy who does aegyo a lot?
DH: Yes, I am the kind who does aegyo. For aegyo, compared to those who say 'yiyi yaya' when doing aegyo, I have my own style. I hope to do aegyo with my girlfriend, to each other, I like that kind of happy feeling. If doing aegyo together can give us feelings of happiness, I will do anything for it.
 
Eunhyuk
 
 
Where ever he goes, he is always full of manners, this hasn't changed. He bows and greet everyone when he meets us. He will also bid us goodbye with '520, I love you' which he just learnt. Just like what he said, he is good at listening so he will receive the questions well and then reply in a most sincere or cutest way. On the day of the interview, the photographer used a ring-shape lighting equipment. The bright lights prompted the manager to keep reminding Eunhyuk that he just had an eye surgery so he can't look at the cameras. But for the best results of the photos, Eunhyuk still stole a few glances at the camera. When the photographer said 'OK', he stumbled towards the computer and started drawing circles in the air. "Ah, I can't see anything, there are so many circles!" Our Jewel handsome man, it shines where ever you are!
 
Q: Does dancing still have that fatal attraction to you?
EH: To be honest, I am happiest when I am dancing. As a dancer, I want to show better and nicer dances to everyone. If you remove dancing from my life, my life will be boring.

Q: You are very humorous, are you born with it or did you learn it?
EH: I think I am borned with it! The sense of humour cannot be trained, an uninteresting person will remain uninteresting no matter what. (Discreetly) Our member, Sungmin, is really uninteresting, someone like him will never become interesting. So I think I am really lucky. I think not only for men but for everyone, there should be some sense of humour so life will become more relaxing and happier.
 
Q: A humorous guy like you must be popular around girls.
EH: I think so that humorous people are more popular. But when I meet a girl for the first time or when I am with the girl that I like, I will not be able to show the humorous side at first, it takes awhile before I can start to be funny. Handsome men don't need to show their sense of humor right from the start.

Q: How to achieve your sense of humour?
EH: The secret? I think I am able to listen carefully to what others are saying, take note of what others are thinking, then I match them and make everyone laugh. I make jokes verbally more. I can't really do body gags.
 
Q: What is the happiest thing since debut?
EH: Making lots of money, an buying an apartment for my parents was the happiest thing. Even though I feel happy too when I achieve something in my job, I really wanted to make a lot of money since debut to buy an apartment for my parents to live comfortably in. I achieved this dream not so long ago so I am really happy.
 
Sungmin
 
Q: How will you describe your personality?
SM: I am not sure of my own personality, I think I haven't discover it. I think fans like me because I work hard, keep improving myself. Could it be that my personality is working hard? I should be a frank person. On broadcasts, many artistes use stylized phrases, for fun and to show something special. But this is difficult for me.

Q: What kinds of traits to you look out for when making friends?
SM: I will take note if the other person is someone who takes care of others, a kindhearted person. If that is so, I will get closer to them. On the other hand if that person doesn't take care of others, doesn't care about others feelings, I will reject them.
 
Q: How will you describe your personality?
SM: I am not sure of my own personality, I think I haven't discover it. I think fans like me because I work hard, keep improving myself. Could it be that my personality is working hard? I should be a frank person. On broadcasts, many artistes use stylized phrases, for fun and to show something special. But this is difficult for me.

Q: What kinds of traits to you look out for when making friends?
SM: I will take note if the other person is someone who takes care of others, a kindhearted person. If that is so, I will get closer to them. On the other hand if that person doesn't take care of others, doesn't care about others feelings, I will reject them.
 
Q: As the 'one and only Sungmin' of SJM, what is your speciality?
SM: Ah, this is so difficult. The members are all amazing. Ah! My speciality is my baby face. (laughs) The members have been telling me lately that my face didn't change since debut. (Are they jealous?) This can't be helped.
 
ZhouMi
 
Zhoumi's memory is scary. Even for the people he has only met once, he can remember the name of the person, the location and other etails. He can be a detective if he isn't a singer. Not sure if it is tiring for him to remember so many things but it is certainly sweet to the person whom he remembers.
 
Q: Do you set long term goals for yourself?
ZM: Short term! I think long term goals are not reliable because we can only see our current situations so it is still better to have short term goals. You can see the results, it's more realistic. Actually celebrities cannot do things as they want to. So I follow my own footsteps, fulfilling them one by one, moving forward.
 
Q: Do you care about others valuation of you?
ZM: I don't really care for others' valuation of me, I care more about how I value myself. Sometimes we have to believe in our own point of view. I see myself realistically. What is good is good, what is bad is bad. But I look forward to the future very much! When I was in university, there was this message. You might not succeed if you put in effort but you will definitely not succeed if you don't put in effort at all. So you already have 50% success when you take the first step. The rest will depend on the amount of effort you put in.

Q: From your book, Thai Perfect, we can tell that you love travelling. What does travelling brings you?
ZM: Relaxing! I will bump into fans, didn't encounter anything romantic yet, haha. I didn't graduate from college and became an artiste, actually an artiste is just like any other white collar worker, there are a lot of pressure too, travelling can relax myself. Going to a foreign place, experiencing something new, can fully relax a person. Going to Thailand for Super Show after debut, it was charming, and going to Europe later on, it was really interesting.

Q: We often see you smile, are you hiding anything behind those smiles?
ZM: I love to smile because my mum told me we must live happily. She said singing is something I like to do but if singing has become a burden to me because of some other reasons, then she would rather that I not do it and live a simple life. If you like to do this then do it happily. So no matter what the end result is, the process is always happy, fulfilling and special.
