姚记 lyrics with English translation

到陈记 买姚记 (揽佬)

At Chen's, let's get Yao's (charming lad)

大红袍拿来摆茶几

Bring out the big red robe for the tea table

两百底 (哈) 如履薄冰

Two hundred at the bottom (ha) walking on thin ice

一不小心 方片7

One misstep, a square piece of seven

难受怎么我又顺金

How it hurts, why am I back to smooth gold again

直接弃 交个朋友

Straight to the point, just making a friend

拜天地 (揽佬) 为了摸A

Bowing to the heavens (charming lad), just to touch A

顶着个脸蛋掏两三千

With a face like this, I'm spending two or three thousand

为了要面 为了牵线

For the sake of face, for the connections we make

我初中头 说是富贵的体现

In my middle school days, they said it's a sign of wealth

什么体现

What does it reflect?

你看我手中的两条Q

Look at the two Queens in my hand.

有没有面

Is there any face?

加就call

Add me, just call.

不啰嗦 话别多

No chatter, don't say much.

整晚call

Call all night long.

到七点多 很烦

Until past seven, it’s so annoying.

我Call到他 手中的雪茄往回缩

I called him, and his cigar pulled back.

Call到 他们去拜神香火几千多

Called them, they went to worship with thousands of incense.

我Call到 裂开

I called and it cracked open.

Call到像波力海苔

Call in like seaweed from the waves,

Call到他跟我唱八方来财

Call him to sing with me about fortune from all sides.

Call到他不得不恭恭敬敬

Call him until he has to show respect,

那你怎么对我就怎么对你

So I treat you just how you treat me.

但江湖嘛就是要欠个人情

But in this world, it's all about owing a favor,

所以千万别拒绝这些称兄道弟

So don't you dare refuse this brotherly bond,

都是为了吃饱喝足兄弟

It's all for filling our bellies, brother.

没关系

It's all good,

线在那牵

The thread connects us there,

然后又大方赔钱

And then generously lose some money.

然后又打几个电话

Then I make a few more calls,

然后又装着要面子

And I pretend to care about my image,

如果你干出了成绩

If you achieve some success,

他们过来沾你的光辉

They'll come around basking in your glory.

如果你让他们沾

If you let them ride your coattails,

也不是不行嘛兄弟

Why not, brother?

信不信共同富裕

Do you believe in common prosperity?

我说的是个体之间的

What I mean is between individuals,

如果把心随便敞开

If you open your heart casually,

那真的富条领棍

Then you'll really find a rich path ahead.

这条路真长

This road is so long

真寂寞

So lonely

都是独立的个体

We are all independent beings

少给我cheak来check去

Stop checking me, just chill

加就call

Just call me, no hesitation

不啰嗦 话别多

Don't ramble, less talk

整晚call

Calling all night long

到七点多 很烦

Until past seven, what a hassle

Call到他 手中的雪茄往回缩

When I call him, his cigar pulls back in

Call到 他们拜神那香火几千多

When I call, their incense offerings are countless

就可以了

That'll be enough
