It's already been a year since I've watched Devil Beside You, but it's only recently that I've listened attentively to the lyrics of the song. I want to share it here because I find the message it conveys so beautiful! The translation is a bit rough, hehe, but please enjoy!
Chuan shang yang zhuang, kan zhe shou biao
Dressed up in nice clothes, looking at my watch
Shi jian kuai dao, xin peng peng de tiao
My heart throbs as the time approaches
He ni de di yi ci yue hui lai lin le
For our first date
Jin se de yang guang sa man ren xing dao
As the golden sun rays spill to the sidewalk
Huan le xin chun gao, ba tou fa nong hao
I’ve changed my lipstick and fixed my hair
Yao ni kan dao wo de hao
I want you to see me in my best
Xi huan kan ni zou lu chong man zi xin
I like watching the way you walk with confidence
Shuo hua shi hou ni de zhuan zhu yan shen
The way you speak with an intense look on your face
Wen rou de biao qing, xiao rong li de tian zhen
Your gentle expression, your innocent smile
Wo xiang xin, zhao bu dao you bi ni geng hao de ren
I believe I can never find someone better than you
Ni xin li li xiang qing ren shi ji fen
What are your heart’s criteria for an ideal lover?
Shi fou ye hui you wo de fen
I wonder if I’m qualified.
* * * CHORUS * * *
Hao xiang zhi dao, ni de yi bai fen hui gei zen yang de ren
I really want to know which type of person you’d give your 100% to
Qin ai de ni, bu yao zai mo sheng
My dearest you, don’t be vague
Zeng jia wo xi fen
Give me more importance
Wo xiang wen, qin ai de ni
I want to ask, my dearest you,
Ba gan qing sheng deng, peng you bian cheng qing ren
To develop this relationship, and turn friends into lovers
Ke bu ke yi, gao su wo biao zhun
Will you please tell me your conditions?
Bu yao rang wo yi zhi deng
Do not make me wait in vain.

Hao xiang yi ge meng, jian jian zou dao wo qian tou
And you slowly walk towards me...
It is just like a dream.
