"I am what I am"--Leslie Cheung

me – mandarin version

i am what i am

i will always love myself just the way i am

happiness is

there is not merely one way to happiness

the utmost honor is

every person is the creator’s glory

no need to dodge and hide

i live for the life of my liking

without cosmetic embellishment

i stand in the bright corner

• i am what i am

  i am fumes and flames of different colors

in the vast expanse of the sky and ocean

i will be the strongest bubble

i like myself

let the climbing rose plant bear fruit

even in the lonely desert

blossoming in its nakedness *

i am so happy

to live joyfully in the glass house

telling the world

the meaning of living openly in the light

• repeat *
