eleven songs celina listened to in may and what she thought of them

 eleven songs i listened to in may and what i thought of (some of) them hello patrons of clara’s blog. two things right off the bat: 1) this is not clara and 2) this post is far too long. For my non-Mandarin-understanding friends, I'm sorry you can’t experience these songs in their original language. I hope the translations suffice. These are not super direct/literal, and for the most part I will favor the general vibe and message of the song over specific details (though footnotes will be added where I see fit. sorry in advance).  Disclaimer: I am a good translator 1 , but I fear some things will always be untranslatable 2 (but! that should never stop you! music is universal and you can listen to something you don't understand and still learn from it! isn't that cool!!) 1.   Source: Professor Hoffman and also my mom 2.
