Painted Heart, or 画心, is the theme song for the long-awaited comeback movie for Vicki Zhao, Painted Skin. Well, here’s a version without all the ‘lalala’, because I love you all. This one is the official movie version, being only 4min29sec or so. The real one is 7min02sec, dl it here. 
Official MV:
More of that ghost + human = tragedy thing. I would be overjoyed, but I have had it up to here with tragedies.
Original Chinese lyrics and translation below:
画心
(电影《画皮》主题歌曲)
作曲：藤原育郎 作词：陈少琪
歌词:
看不穿 是你失落的魂魄
猜不透 是你瞳孔的颜色
一阵风 一场梦
爱如(是)生命般(的)莫测
你的心 到底被什么蛊惑
你的轮廓在黑夜之中淹没
看桃花 开出怎样的结果
看着你 抱着我 目光似(比)月色寂寞
就让你 在别人怀里快乐
爱着你 像心跳难触摸
画着你 画不出你的骨骼
记着你的脸色 是我等你的执著
你是我 一首唱不完的歌
*(我的心 只愿为你而割舍)
Painted Heart
(Theme song of movie “Painted Skin”)
Music: some Japanese dude.
Lyrics: Chen Shaoqi
Artist: Jane Zhang
Lyrics:
Unable to see through your wandering spirit,
Unfathomable, the colour of your pupils
A passing wind, a waking dream
Like life, love remains undefined
Your heart, what confuses it so?
The outline of your body disappears into the night
I watch the cherry blossoms, waiting to see their blooms
I watch you, embracing me, your eyes lonelier than the moonlight
And I let you seek happiness in someone else’s arms
Loving you, untouchable like a heartbeat
Painting you, I cannot paint your skeleton
Remembering your expression, my reason to persist in waiting for you
You are mine, a song that I will never finish singing
*(My heart, only willing to be cut for you)
* This line isn’t actually sung in the versions here, but it is in the 7 min long version.
Enjoy, my lovelies,
Sevenses
lol we seem so obsessed over painted skin. hope that’s advertisement enough for people to watch it.
The two first lines are so funny! “crestfallen spirit” cracked me up. So did “Undecipherable” (first time I ever saw that word).
Painted Skin is the true story of Michael Scoffield?
Enough with the stupid remarks, lol.
The song is great!
Lol, I’m glad this is publicity – Chinese movies are starting to not suck, and we need to promote, yo!
fc: dude, I’m glad you’re amused. I’ve changed it to unfathomable, hopefully makes more sense now.
Do u have any idea how to get the intrumental version of the theme song? The one that keeps playing in the film
Anyone has the music score for the accompanying piano?
hey i wanted to download the shorter version of 画心 but it does not work =(
is there any other venue to d.l from? thanks!
“Painting you, I cannot paint your skeleton”
in chinese it is more romantic…lol
thank you i been looking for this song for awhile
thanks again
It is unfortunate that such powerful Chinese media can’t be more easily communicated to the west, in this case both the song and the movie. China is often sold short in the modern entertainment media scene.
I returned from China for a short vacation a couple days ago, and introduced my family to 画皮，江山美人，神话,无极 and some other great movies with some great sound tracks.
Thanks for sharing!
