Chapter 60 She Looks Like A Wounded Zebra!
Yes, the song Zheng Xing wrote for Li Zhian this time is the popular folk song “Zebra, Zebra” in China in his previous life.
In his previous life, Zheng Xing, as a folk singer in China, paid attention to the song “Zebra, Zebra” when it was first released, and predicted that the song would become popular.
It’s just that the result exceeded his expectations. He didn’t expect this song to be so popular.
The reason why Zheng Xing “plagiarized” this song to Li Zhian this time is because Li Zhian liked this song very much in his previous life.
In December 2015, Li Zhian played and sang “Zebra, Zebra” with an acoustic guitar at the Yanjing concert.
The video of the cover song was reposted wildly by Chinese netizens. The standard Chinese pronunciation made netizens exclaim that they were level 10 in Chinese, and they sang very nicely.
At that time, Li Zhian spent three weeks listening to the original song more than a thousand times to prepare the song.
Because of this, Zheng Xing wrote “Zebra, Zebra” in advance this time as the first song he wrote to Li Zhian in his life!
I have to say that Li Zhian is not only a petty bourgeois youth, but also a literary girl.
Because she is a literary girl, she will like the literary Chinese folk songs like “Zebra, Zebra”.
Because she is a literary girl, almost all the songs or lyrics she creates are literary and artistic.
Yes, literary girl, this is one of the reasons why Zheng Xing liked her very much in his previous life.
Almost all folk singers in Huaxia are young literary and artistic young people, and Zheng Xing in his previous life is no exception. In this way, he will be more interested in literary and artistic girls.
When Zheng Xing wrote “Good Night”, he adapted the original lyrics of the song’s previous life.
Because the meaning expressed by the original lyrics did not match Zheng Xing’s mood at that time, and the lyrics were too gorgeous, piled up rhetoric, so mysterious and obscure.
This time Zheng Xing wrote “Zebra, Zebra” and also adapted the original lyrics of the song’s previous life for two reasons:
One is that the meaning of the original lyrics is not suitable.
The original lyrics of “Zebra, Zebra” are somewhat obscure, like a hazy poem, which can be interpreted in different ways.
According to Zheng Xing’s understanding, the song roughly tells the story:
He is a wandering singer who falls in love with a woman who lives in a bustling city and who has been hurt by others.
He wanted to comfort her but couldn’t, and she didn’t love him either, so he was suffering and helpless.
This is a real city, he is just a wandering singer, women belong to this city, and this city will not keep him, so he has to leave with his guitar on his back.
The meaning of such lyrics is obviously not suitable for Li Zhian to sing, the lyrics after Zheng Xing’s adaptation, the meaning of the lyrics becomes:
Li Zhian is a shining little fairy on the stage, but she has her own loneliness and sorrow in her heart.
The environment in which she grew up, she entered the entertainment industry at a young age and worked hard to make money to support her family. She encountered many setbacks and pains in the entertainment industry…
These are the reasons for her loneliness and sorrow!
In this way, she is like a wounded zebra, she hides her wounds quietly, sometimes touches the scars alone, and then swallows the painful feeling alone.
Because of her poor family background, she does not have a happy and beautiful home. She has been looking for such a home. For this reason, she burns the years of her youth and runs alone on the road of chasing her dream.
Sometimes she also wants someone to accompany her, she fantasizes about love, and when she can’t fall asleep alone at night, a man will accompany her until dawn.
She felt like a child surrounded by sorrow, if any man loves her, come on, she doesn’t want roses, please give her grass, because she is a zebra.
She asked the fans “Will you like me”, she said “I’m a fool who can only sing”, she let the fans sleep, she will sing for the fans in their dreams.
She was very tired and worked hard. She wanted to forget her scars and have a good sleep. After waking up, she would be a hurried traveler and continue to run and chase her dreams.
This is the lyric meaning of Zheng Xing’s adaptation of “Zebra, Zebra”.
Although this version of the lyrics is not as poetic as the original lyrics, it is simpler and easier to understand, and it is also very suitable for Li Zhian to sing.
And it is very suitable to be included in Li Zhian’s mini-album “Twenty-Year-Old Spring”!
Li Zhian’s mini-album this time is a special gift to fans on her adult birthday. The concept of the album is to convey her feelings about life and love as an adult.
The adapted version of “Zebra, Zebra” by Zheng Xing conveys Li Zhian’s feelings about life and love as an adult very well!
Because Zheng Xing knew her very well in his previous life, he only adapted such lyrics this time. He adapted the lyrics from her perspective!
Another reason why Zheng Xing adapted the original lyrics this time is that the original lyrics are not suitable for use in some places.
For example, “you are red from the south”, “I will leave the north with a guitar on my back”.
It is very strange that such lyrics are translated into Korean songs and sung. South Korea does not have the saying of South and North like Huaxia.
