Qing Fei De Yi (English Version)

Ysabelle Cuevas' English rendition of 'Qing Fei De Yi' delves into the complex emotions surrounding the fear and inevitability of falling in love. The song opens with a nostalgic recollection of the first meeting, highlighting the unforgettable impact of the other person's eyes. This initial encounter leaves a lasting impression, metaphorically described as being 'sealed and tattooed' in the singer's heart and mind. The warmth of holding hands and the innocence of the other person evoke a sense of vulnerability and emotional intensity that sometimes feels overwhelming.

The central theme of the song revolves around the singer's fear of falling in love. Despite the deep feelings and the pain of thinking about the other person, there is a palpable hesitation. The lyrics express a fear of getting closer and not knowing how to handle the emotions that come with love. This fear is juxtaposed with the acknowledgment that loving the other person requires courage, a courage that the singer struggles to muster. The repeated refrain, 'I'm too afraid to fall in love with you,' underscores this internal conflict.

The song also touches on the inevitability of love, despite attempts to resist it. The singer admits to trying to stop the feelings but finds themselves trapped, unable to help but fall in love. This sense of being trapped 'like a fool' suggests a loss of control, where love becomes an inescapable force. The emotional pain and the inability to find a reason for these feelings add layers of complexity to the narrative, making it a poignant exploration of love's challenges and the courage it demands.
