微薄的身躯 刻划出厚实尊严
A slender body carves out profound dignity.
小小屏幕 撑起大大一片天
A tiny screen supports a vast sky.
观众静候在我的眼前 灯光闪耀在后面 我碎碎念
The audience waits before my eyes, lights shining behind me as I ramble.
唱念做打喜怒哀乐 让你妈妈扭一下
Singing, reciting, performing joy and sorrow, let's get your mama to dance a little.
记得跟著锣鼓点 哇勒点点点点点点点
Remember to follow the beat of gongs and drums, oh wow, dot dot dot dot dot dot.
我们的表演向左边 向右边
Our performance sways left and right.
左右都逢源不恐后或争先
Both sides flourish, without fear of lagging or rushing ahead.
筋斗云就算在十万八千里
Even the somersault cloud is thousands of miles away.
看我只需要翻三圈
Just need to flip three times to see me.
近在咫尺 远在天边
Close at hand, far in the distance.
笑我疯癫 凭你的脸？
Laugh at my madness, just by your face?
还是快去排队买票看我的表演
Or hurry up and line up to buy tickets to see my show.
大声点我听不见 嘿
Speak louder, I can't hear you, hey.
皮影似神仙 我身轻如燕
Like a shadow puppet, I’m as light as a swallow.
你面前忽隐又忽现
Before you, I appear and vanish again.
飘逸在云和雾里面
Floating between the clouds and mist.
傲气贯山巅
Proud as I stand atop the mountain peak.
随性唱一遍 变世代传承的经典
Singing freely, turning into a classic passed down through generations.
嘿 嘿 嘿 嘿 呼
Hey hey hey hey, hoo.
皮影似神仙 我身轻如燕
Like a shadow puppet, I’m as light as a swallow.
你面前忽隐又忽现
You flicker before me, now gone, now here,
飘逸在云和雾里面
Drifting within the clouds and mist,
傲气贯山巅
With pride soaring high atop the peaks,
随性唱一遍 变世代传承的经典
Casually singing once, transforming into a classic passed down through generations,
嘿 嘿 嘿 嘿 呼
Hey hey hey hey, hu!
剧力万千惊叹声连连
A symphony of awe echoing endlessly,
动静掌控全在绕指间
In stillness and motion, I control it all with a twist of my fingers.
透明的眼 纯净的笑脸 只看颜色就能辩忠奸
Transparent eyes, a pure smiling face, recognizing truth and deceit just by colors,
唱念做打喜怒哀乐 让你妈妈扭一下
Singing, reciting, creating, feeling joy and sorrow, making your mama sway along,
记得跟著锣鼓点 哇勒点点点点点点点
Remember to follow the rhythm of the drums, wow, dot dot dot dot dot dot!
哥说的故事 百善孝为先
The story my brother tells, filial piety comes first.
哥说的不是吃的虾味先
What my brother mentions isn't about the shrimp flavor.
筋斗云就算在十万八千里
Even if the somersault cloud is a hundred thousand miles away,
看我只需要翻三圈
Just watch, I only need to spin three times.
近在咫尺 远在天边
Close at hand, yet far in the sky.
笑我疯癫 凭你的脸？
Laugh at my madness, who are you to judge my face?
还是快去排队买票看我的表演
Or hurry up and queue to buy a ticket for my show.
大声点我听不见 嘿
Speak louder, I can't hear you, hey!
皮影似神仙 我身轻如燕
Like a shadow puppet, as light as a swallow,
你面前忽隐又忽现
Before you, I appear and disappear.
飘逸在云和雾里面
Drifting through the clouds and mist
傲气贯山巅
Pride pierces the mountain peak
随性唱一遍变世代传承的经典
Singing freely, turning classics into a timeless legacy
嘿 嘿 嘿 嘿 呼
Hey hey hey hey, hu!
皮影似神仙 我身轻如燕
Like a shadow puppet, I float light as a swallow
你面前忽隐又忽现
Before you, I appear and disappear
飘逸在云和雾里面
Drifting through the clouds and mist
傲气贯山巅
Pride pierces the mountain peak
随性唱一遍变世代传承的经典
Singing freely, turning classics into a timeless legacy
嘿 嘿 嘿 嘿 呼
Hey hey hey hey, hu!
