Niki Chow’s “A Change of Heart”, the theme song to TVB’s [A Change of Heart] has been playing in my head over and over…I’m currently loving this song and the series! I think the song sounds catchy. There’s something about the melody of it- it sounds sad and slightly haunting like someone who is experiencing depression and is breaking down. Here is my attempt at the English Translation. I’m currently up to episode 15 of the series and I have a feeling this song will relate to Joey Meng’s character the most. As Michael Miu’s character changes after his heart transplant, their relationship is starting to grow distant. Will need to watch on to find out I guess!
Feel free to share your thoughts or your interpretations. You can also find the full lyrics, pinyin and download link down below. Enjoy!
English translation of ‘A Change of Heart’
You say you are busy; on the 400th night you’re still busy
I see you are too happily busy, forgotten to try to lie
I see this door; behind the door changes too un-peacefully
Every breath, no hope
*Atmosphere changed, taste have changed, the past warmth have gradually turned cold
We used to be mutually romantic, this night has turned into vain hope
Heart- at the start naturally kind-hearted, turn around and its turned sinister
Like how you used to be able to wait for my love, later, slowly slowly decline/give up
Can always be optimistic at the start, but end up turning depressed
Who has the ability to be together, make little bits of happiness
When courage has changed into weakness, even when talking you’d worry you use the wrong words
When oxygen also turns weak, even the power to kiss is gone
I see this wall, wall looks like it has our shadows
Not taking any notice of each other, being neglected by you
Repeat *
Heart- at the start naturally kind-hearted, turn around and its turned sinister
Like how you used to be able to wait for my love, later, slowly slowly decline/give up
Can always be optimistic at the start, but end up turning depressed
Who has ability to be together again, make little bits of feelings
Feelings, love til death
Heart- at the start would be strong, turn around and it’ll only know howto bound
Like the happiness at the beginning of love, later slowly slowly close
From the start didn’t want it to change, but it changed unconsciously
Who has the fate to be together again, to make a bit more feelings
Feelings, will lose feelings quickly

Yea I went to Chinese School on Saturdays when I was a kid ^^;
You’re such a good translator.
Thanks JacJac 🙂
Woot awesome!! Gonna download the song now, thanks!!
You’re welcome!!! 😀
nice! am going to dl too hehe. thank you ! ^^
^__^!!
Thank you so much for translating this song. I love this song too. You’re awesome K!
No worries Kelly 😀 Personally like this song so translating was fun!
Sooo… I watched the first episode and totally like Nikki and Bosco together hench I have to ask… is she gonna end up with Michael or Bosco?? I read the very spoiley sypnosis that she starts to fall for Michael cus Bosco’s heart is in there… but then there’s also Bosco’s twin which is also play by Bosco that will have a love line with her?/ Ahhh, confused yet? I was 🙁
This is the only reason I’m not continuing to watch it…
& of course, thanks for the song! 😀 hehe.
I read the spoiler-ish synopsis too!!
I have no idea who Niki will end up with though, I’m guessing Bosco’s twin though..Michael is a bit old for her XD
I think you should continue watching it though. The love plot is actually qutie interesting (I’m on episode 18)
Hi! Thanks for the eng translation for the main theme song! Thanks to you I am able to understand the song better 😀
Is it possible to also translate the subtheme hehe 😛
Thanks in advance!
Am in love with this series <3
I might translate the sub themesong too~~ though I personally only like the chorus of the sub themesong (other parts slightly dull..XD)
thanks for the links for the theme/sub-theme! i’ve been looking everywhere for them…i actually like the sub-theme better. catchy and Bosco’s singing has improved alot.
this is one of the best shows this year (so far). slightly mysterious but light-hearted as well (thanks to Mandy LOL..but I like Vincent and Elaine’s characters as well). i ship Niki and Bosco #2 so badly! Bosco #1 was too bland and unrealistic for me…i tend to like Bosco’s bad boy characters better. 😉
can’t wait to see how the last 10eps play out! hoping for a happy ending for Niki/Bosco. 🙂
You’re welcome 🙂
lol at how you refer to them as Bosco #1 and Bosco #2 hehehe
Thanks for the lyrics! (Needed them so badly!)
And of course the song for download! 😀
Now I can listen to it without waiting for the start of every episode on TV ^^;;
Thank you so much! :]
hehe ^^ You’re welcome! CD versions are also longer versions~~more to enjoy!
Your translation is fantastic!
