Really enjoyed their song (in terms of melody), but I didn't quite really understand the lyrics well, so please fix me if I'm wrong. I noticed that the feeling of Thai lyrics was more related to heart-broken one, quite like toxic relationship and one was ready to end it. Meanwhile, the Chinese lyrics were more about how the person shone this lover's life.

@filburutto Yep, different. At least what I've read and the few I understood.

In the Chinese version, I think they used the translation sung by Mandopop singer Zhao Lusi(?), and originally titled “You Are My Light”. I haven't found that version; I'm thinking Zhao's translation cover is also different from PiXXiE's Chinese version?

EDIT: Ahh, found it! Finally appeared on my Spotify. Entitled “You Are My Light” by 赵露思.

I think I get it now. PiXXiE's ThaiPop “ไม่ได้ก็ไม่เอา” (Whatever) was translated to MandoPop by 赵露思 (Zhao Lusi) with a slightly different meaning, and entitled as “You Are My Light”. Then PiXXiE covered Zhao's version.

Later, PiXXiE released a direct translation of the original ThaiPop lyrics into CPop, and entitled it as “Whatever”.

Basically, there are 4 versions:

• Original Thai
• Translation in #MandoPop by #赵露思 (Zhao Lusi)
• PiXXiE's cover of Zhao's
• #PiXXiE's own C-pop translation.

Cool. Usually we see a cover of a cover of a cover. But PiXXiE's song has come full circle. The original artist covered a cover! Rare!
