Disney Mulan Reflection - Madarin Taiwanese

[@akina3673]

English translation Why can't I be a good bride? I've hurt everyone. Maybe my headstrong/unruly personality has harmed me? I know if I continue to be stubborn about not changing I'll lose everyone Peering deeply with my eyes, I see my own face. Yet it differs so much from who I actually am / this face is so unfamiliar I'l stop repressing my emotions, I'll search (? Idk why they say this lol) and shout Because being who I really am keeps me worry-free (x2)

[@Soraiko]

With proper english words, I couldn't formulate it more correctly. The last part is really hard to translate. It's litterally a prayer addressed to her spirit.

[@akina3673]

Soraiko I just realised there were english lyrics.. and no lmao, there were some parts that I didn't know how to translate as directly as possible

[@林裕峰-h6x]

@@akina3673 Hi native mandarin speaker here, the last part (start from 敞開我的胸懷) it means let out all my emotions, then chase it down(the "search" here is not quite like simply "looking for" cuz Mulan already knows who she really is, it's more like breaking the traditions and going after her true personality that starts to fly away), shout it out (who I really am). (Once I realize who I am) Express the true "me" therefore all the worries will be gone. (I tried to explain it in a logical way hope it helps)

Coco Lee sings this version and the voice of Fa Mulan in this movie. She also sings the Mandarin Chinese pop version of Reflection ("Zi Ji" in Chinese) in the ending credits. She's one of the best pop divas in Taiwan. Her singing got me emotional and I personally like her singing the most. But Lea Salonga's singing was pretty great as well.

[@Projolo]

Mandarin it's modern chinese, Mulan is medieval so the pronunciation would be different.

[@girlishgamer1]

Well technically it would be Cantonese not Mandarin Chinese.

[@DaviusMelleisiusFelix]

@@girlishgamer1 Are you sure about that? If you go off the original Ballad of Mulan, while not specified, it is believed she would have spoken Xianbei. From what I've seen, Disney's 1998 version is even less obvious so it well and truly could have been an older form of Han Chinese. There were a great many dialects at the time beyond Cantonese and Mandarin (and there still are to this day, they are just really uncommon). Furthermore, from my understanding, Cantonese is a southern dialect from around the Guangdong area and it seems unlikely to me that Mulan is from the south. Unless we know for certain where Mulan comes from, it is difficult to say with certainty exactly which dialect she spoke. If I'm being dumb and missing something obvious please say so.

[@danielzhou3295]

@@girlishgamer1 the region and dynasty were Mulan is said to be from in real life Northern Wei they didn't use common dialects instead they used Tuoba a very distinct dialect mainly used in northern wei

[@antoniocasias5545]

Yeah the language in the tombstones 🪦 is the Chinese she would be speaking

[@MrGabriexxx]

This is a such masterpiece ❤️😍. The singer’s voice brings so much sorrow to the song (which is absolutely perfect and expected due to what Mulan has been through after the terrible meeting with the matchmaker). And even then, her father comforts her saying she’s the most beautiful flower of all ❤️. From all Disney’s classics, Mulan is undoubtedly the sweetest and the most emotional. The honor and respect to the family are unquestionable ❤️

I was never into princesses when I was a kid or early teenage years the only princesses I actually like Rapunzel , Mulan and Ariel but my favorite among this three is for sure MULAN .
