Please add a reply to submit your artist. I'll only accept one submission for each Asian country (except if your country consists of multiple languages/ethnicities). The song(s) must be in the native language (a few English words are fine). I'll update this post to reflect any new submissions. Please, no trolling! Just showcasing Asian love songs, since I'm curious to see what other Asian countries are listening to. Now let's get started.

OHHH.....and mando submission....obviously if other chinese dont like picks we can change....

Liang Shan Bo Yu Zhu Ying Tai / Butterfly Lovers
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbUlMhvfbPs

I don't usually listen to Taiwanese/Chinese music so I can't really compare Jay Chou to other Chinese/Taiwanese artists, but I will say that this Jay Chou guy is really talented! His singing, music production, and video quality are all top-notch. If only I could understand what he's singing about...hehe. What does he mean by "Snow Like Hair"? Anyway, this song sounds really nice. Good job, Taiwan!

In Taiwan, do they speak Cantonese or Mandarin? Or is it a separate Taiwanese dialect?

Thai

(male) Aof Pongsak - Kaung Tee Ter Mai Ruk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qi7MERQ9CC4...feature=related

(female) Prik Thai - Ruk Sam Sao http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSXJ6SHcJMs

I must say, Thai music is really top notch.

i think hes def at the top. i mean of course there are lots of good songs but jay chou does everything. he even directed his own movie and acted as the main character (movie was called secret).

umm...i think he means the girls hair flows like snow falling to him....

taiwan speaks mandarin. well most of it does. that was my biggest problem LOL. i wasnt sure which one is mainland which one is taiwan...most songs would be taiwan though i think. their music scene is more developed than mainland chinas.

Wow! I never knew that Indonesia had such great music. I especially love the first song you suggested. As of right now, I think Indonesia's music is my favorite for Asian love songs.

Dang yeah that is friggin good and I dont normally listen to R&B. Makes me wonder why Ive never heard much about Indonesian music before.

bro, i knew that....everytime i tried to post a link it aint working at all

So, could u tell me how to make it work (step by step plis....)

You don't have to do anything special...just copy and paste or type the url link...i.e. http://www.mtv.com

Can someone please post the lyrics with translations please? I'm not Indonesian, but I'd like to try and sing this song for the fun of it. It's a great song.

This can also fall under the rap category. The singer has a beautiful voice in this one.

Cambodia/Khmer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiUOmDiEN7Y...&playnext=1

Wow.. can't believe you like it! thanks all!
@ Savan: The lyrics of the song is written in the infobox on that youtube page.
Translation:
Is this all a play
after all this time together?
Is this the end of a love story
that I'm always proud of?
In front of them
I don't know where
to hide the shame, ooo

Now I have to spend
my lonely days without you again.
Let me stand now
against time
to forget about you.
Eventhough my heart is aching
I will survive.
It's sooo cheesy. Maybe you should check his other song out called Kasih Putih. It's a less r&b flavored track.
I have no idea why we don't go further abroad than just Malaysia & Singapore to promote our music.

@Mushrooms: If you normally don't listen to r&b then maybe you'll like this one better: Nidji - Bila aku jatuh cinta (Just don't search for the english version of it! reason enough for them to sing in Indonesian only haha)

Not gonna post other Indonesian songs anymore I don't wanna overflow Savan's topic with Indonesian songs..

@Jeirin. When you make a post, click on the 'insert link' button and paste the URL of the video and that's it!

I think Snow like hair is one of Jay's best love songs (his debut song too of course) I love his music a lot! Too bad I can't understand him either

Thanks for translating the song. Anyway, please feel free to post more great Indonesian songs.

Thai love song
Lookpong - Fan Puen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YvOSrnRNFw...feature=related

Don't forget to post your first attempt! Indonesian is an easy language though, I'm sure your pronounciation will be good.


It's hypocritical to me as I hate it when others post 1 full page about the same country....
...
oh well ^-^
I still love this song and I'm not even fond with this genre:
Dewa - Pupus
---
Gita Gutawa - Sempurna
Chrisye - Lirih

Have you checked the other vids that I've posted under your others threads?

haha! thanks for the support, but ummm I don't think I should post my first attempt because I don't want to butcher the Indonesian language. LOL!



Those two songs sound very beautiful...And yes, I listen to all of the submissions. I'm really diggin' Indonesian music. Great stuff.

Translation:
there's no sun that shines bright enough to brighten my broken heart
even though I feel paralyzed, I'm still myself and will never follow your whims
Plz use your heart & mind
u & me are different
2 hearts which will never come together
am i only a puppet who's constantly controlled by you?
I have my own feelings have u ever thought about that?
I've had enough...
(literal translation )

There are just so many Viet love songs in my favorite list I don't know which one to pick, so tell me which one you think sound best

Mưa Trên Phố Bay Xa (roughly translated as "Rain on street flying far away"...well it sounds really awkward in English but I don't know how to make it sounds as poetic as it is in Vietnamese). It's a really sad song. I wanted to cry the first time I listened to this song.

Sounds very "Thai"

^The Siamese adopted our language, so you shouldn't be surprised that Thai (Siamese) language sounds kind of like Lao language. If it weren't for the Lao language, Thailand's (Siam) primary language would still be Mon/Khmer.

Sound Tai, but not Jek though. Bangkock is full of jek.

That's real Joke. Yes, I can say like you that Lao adopted Thai language so if your Lao language not influenced by Mon/Khmer, your language is just Thai.

Really? Your Lao friend always said Lao sounds more Chinese LOLzzzzzzzzzzzz

YOu're confused with your jek master. Laos is thailand bigger brother, because we came first. true story.

Sabaidee, nong Lao

Frome Pii Thai.
