However, EXO is the only group that has gathered a lot of fans across the world and continues to make hits now.

This song name is “Baby don’t cry ( MERMAN’S TEARS).”

According to the Asianfanfics website, ” Baby don’t cry” means…

The meaning of Baby Don’t Cry Lyric(EXO)

The inspiration of this song is 《The Little Mermaid》(1837). When the little mermaid turn 15, she falls in love with a prince. She asks Sea Witch to give her legs in exchange for her tongue. She hopes prince could marry her but fails. If she kill the prince with the knife, she will become a mermaid again. But when she stands in front of prince’s bed, she could not bear to do that. When the sun rises, her body dissolves into foam.

In the song 《Baby Don’t Cry》,the prince doesn’t sleep, he wakes up and asks her to kill himself:
Don’t hesitate, please take my heart. Love is kind of light winkling. It is a mercy to close my eyes in the moonlight. Suppose me as a stranger, or fancy yourself actor. What we say is just lines of an opera. Baby don’t cry tonight. When the dawn lights the skyies, it will be as if nothing ever happened. You will never dissolve into foam, for my love is with you forever. So baby don’t cry cry.

The lyrics in Chinese & English.

Baby Don’t Cry

Rényú de yǎnlèi (人鱼的眼泪)

你就别再犹豫了好吗
就请拿出我的心臟
那像一道很刺眼的光芒
连夜的月光 把眼睛关上
如果不是我 是别的男人
如果 只是喜剧裡面的一句话
烧 乾 了就罢
我愿和你的爱交换伤痕

Baby Don’t Cry Tonight
当黑夜再次亮起来
Baby Don’t Cry Tonight
就当作没发生过一样
你永远都不会化成像泡抹一样
难道你不知道吗
So Baby Don’t Cry, Cry
我的爱守护你不分开

放下你最不安的心房
就请接受命运吧
我想我爱你比更多的恋人啊
还更加倍的去爱上
When You Smile, Sun Shine
太灿烂的让我都说不出话
整颗心起波浪
拍碎了 就停下来

Baby Don’t Cry Tonight
在暴风来袭的夜晚
(Woo I Can Hold You In My Arms)
Baby Don’t Cry Tonight
好像很适合这个夜晚
但这一瞬间的激情不能够延长
却要目送你离开
So Baby Don’t Cry Cry
就让我的爱像记忆吧

到处阴阴的沉沉的冷空气
陷入了称为离别的疼痛里
快要窒息 痛到无力
唯有你的笑容才是镇痛剂 ah!
我的任性越轨
希望我们的故事有结尾
Don’t Cry 不想你悲伤落泪
宁愿你对我是冷漠的 baby

Say No More (Baby) No More (Don’t Cry)
不要犹豫 不要挣扎
当这一切都开始崩塌
Say No More (Baby) No More (Don’t Cry)
请让我可以保留最后的尊严
或者请将我直接毁灭

你的眼神充满了月光 Baby, Woo
无声无息在痛苦裡
流淌著纯洁的光

Baby Don’t Cry Tonight (Cry)
当黑夜不再亮起来
(I Can Hold You In My Arms )
Baby Don’t Cry Tonight
就当作没发生过一样
你永远都不会化成像泡抹一样
要永远都不知道
So Baby Don’t Cry Cry (Don’t Cry Cry)
我的爱守护你不分开 (Cry Cry)

就看清晨的阳光洒下来 (下来)
像你一样耀眼的洒下来 (Falling Down)
我想我眼睛迷路 现在才 Cry Cry Cry

Baby Don’t Cry – English Cover

please don’t hesitate anymore
just stop ripping my heart in half
you’ve always been brighter than moonlight
don’t feel the past, let me take the wrath

even if you loved someone who wasn’t me
if we were just a line in a comedy
i’d, still, drown myself
if that meant you had a chance to swim free

baby don’t cry, tonight
light up the darkness one more time
baby don’t cry, tonight
just pretend that everything is alright
you will always be hidden inside my memory
do you not have faith in me?
baby don’t cry, cry
i’ll hold you tightly in my arms, tonight

stop trying to fight what’s been sealed in fate
there’s nothing we can do to change
at least know that my love for you is real
it’s strong and will never fade away

when you smile, the sun shines
it’s a thief that takes my breath away
our love, oh, it’s a hurricane
smashing my heart into shards

baby don’t cry, tonight
in this night of storms and dark skies
baby don’t cry, tonight
strangely it seems to fit this night
there’s no way to make these seconds longer
so just tell me now goodbye
baby don’t cry, cry
just remember my love, afterwards.

the air lies around us like a cold damp skin
i can’t say goodbye i don’t know how to begin
there’s no air in my lungs, no strength in me
but your smile is the only thing that lets me breathe- uh
it’d be better for you to forget me though
don’t show me love, i’m not one you know

don’t cry, leaving with icy cold is better than with dripping eyes, baby
say no more, (no more), no more.
don’t waver in your choice, because my knees will buckle soon
say no more, (no more), no more.
to let you swim free by yourself, burn me and forget me now

i see the moonlight shining in your eyes, woo
pain slowly seeps through every moonbeam of the night

baby don’t cry, tonight
just fight through this one last strong storm
baby don’t cry, tonight
don’t think twice leaving me alone
you will always be a very crucial part of me
one that i can’t live without.
baby don’t cry, cry
i’ll hold you tightly in my arms, tonight

the day breaks softly with bright sun rays
they shine just as bright as you in every way
and when you leave my dry eyes finally cry, cry, cry.
