家 两代似不想多对话
Home, two generations seem reluctant to share words,
孩儿最怕 唠叨爸爸 吟㖊妈妈
Children most fear the nagging dad and the humming mom.
却庆幸活得不太差 对双亲 又可放任下
Yet I'm grateful to live not too bad, able to let my parents be.
人攰了 那管一切产生的变化
When tired, who cares about the changes that come?
悠然地置身这个家 名和利 亦可以淡化
Calmly nested in this home, names and wealth can also fade away.
就算泰山崩开了 仍未觉可怕
Even if Mount Tai were to crumble, I still wouldn't find it scary.
每天 爸爸妈妈在家总会念挂
Every day, dad and mom will always worry at home.
时时和孩儿 诉说真与假
They often tell me what's real and what's not.
记住记住吃亏只好去算吧 你听到吗
Remember, remember, if losses come, just reckon with them. Can you hear?
说声 爸爸妈妈内心不要念挂
Say it out loud, Dad and Mom, don't burden your hearts with worries.
在孩儿童年时 你已天天轰炸
In my childhood years, you bombarded me every day,
想到就怕 以后犯错 请打我十下
Just thinking of it brings fear, if I make a mistake, strike me ten times,
家 会让我安心的放下
Home is where I can safely let go,
旁人笑我 毫无出色 仍能归家
Others laugh at me for being so ordinary, but I can still return home.
悠然地置身这个家 名和利 亦可以淡化
Calmly, I embrace this home, where name and fortune can fade away,
就算泰山崩开了 仍未觉可怕
Even if a mountain crumbles, it still doesn’t feel terrifying,
每天 爸爸妈妈在家总会念挂
Every day, mom and dad always worry at home,
时时和孩儿 诉说真与假
Always telling the child the truth from lies,
记住记住吃亏只好去算吧 你听到吗
Remember, remember, if I suffer losses, I might as well count them, do you hear me?
说声 爸爸妈妈内心不要念挂
Say it loud, mom and dad, don't dwell in worry in your hearts.
在孩儿童年时 你已天天轰炸
In childhood days, you bombarded me every day,
想到就怕 以后犯错 请打我十下
Just thinking about it terrifies me, if I make mistakes, please hit me ten times.
我最爱怕丑的爸爸 你要爱钖妈妈 知道吗
I love my shy dad the most, you need to love my mom, you know?
外面都不可怕 孩儿能招架
The outside world isn't scary, my child can handle it.
我知 爸爸妈妈在家总会害怕
I know, mom and dad at home will always be afraid.
孩儿成才时 放弃这个家
When the child achieves success, they will leave this home behind.
怕又怕在某天这出嫁女儿 不想归家
Afraid yet afraid, on a day when the marrying daughter doesn't want to return home,
说声 爸爸妈妈内心不要害怕
Say it, dad and mom, don't be afraid in your hearts.
在孩儿回来时 即使风光身价
When the child comes back, even if they're rich and famous,
不会忘记 俩老在家 只等我念挂
I will never forget, the two old folks at home, waiting for my thoughts.
