10 English/Mandarin Songs

 

I was shuffling MLTR songs on Spotify and my attention was arrested by a familiar tune: take me to your heart.. take me to your soul

 

Despite hearing the song for the first time, I started singing along.. in Mandarin: 我和你吻别 在无人的街

 

Not uncommon in the music industry, there have been English and Mandarin versions of the same tune.
