双截棍 lyrics with English translation

岩烧店的烟味弥漫隔壁是国术馆

The scent of smoke from the charcoal grill wafts through, next door is the martial arts hall.

店里面的妈妈桑茶道 有三段

Inside the shop, Mama-san's tea ceremony unfolds in three parts.

教拳脚武术的老板练铁沙掌 耍杨家枪

The boss who teaches martial arts practices iron sand palm, wielding the Yang family's spear.

硬底子功夫最擅长还会金钟罩铁布衫

His hard-hitting skills are unmatched, plus he knows the Golden Bell Shield and Iron Shirt.

他们儿子我习惯从小就耳濡目染

Their son, I grew up immersed in it all from a young age.

什幺刀枪跟棍棒我都耍的有模有样

Whatever knives, guns, and staffs, I handle them with style.

什幺兵器最喜欢双截棍柔中带刚

Of all the weapons, I favor the nunchaku, soft yet with strength.

想要去河南嵩山学少林跟武当

I want to go to Songshan in Henan to learn Shaolin and Wudang.

干什幺干什幺呼吸吐纳心自在

What to do, what to do, breathe deeply, let the heart be at ease.

干什幺干什幺气沉丹田手心开

What to do, what to do, let the energy sink to the dantian, palms open wide.

干什幺干什幺日行千里系沙袋

What the heck, what the heck, traveling a thousand miles with sandbags

飞檐走壁莫奇怪去去就来

Leaping walls and flying eaves, no need to be surprised, I come and go

一个马步向前一记左钩拳右钩拳

A stance forward, a left hook, and then a right hook

一句惹毛我的人有危险

If you tick me off, you’re in danger

一再重演一根我不抽的烟一放好多年它一直在身边

Repeatedly played, a cigarette I don’t smoke, left aside for years, it’s always been nearby

干什幺干什幺我打开任督二脉

What the heck, what the heck, I open the meridians

干什幺干什幺东亚病夫的招牌

What the heck, what the heck, the sign of the East Asian sick man

干什幺干什幺已被我一脚踢开

What the heck, what the heck, I’ve kicked it away with one foot

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quick, use the nunchaku, huh huh ha ha

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quick, use the nunchaku, huh huh ha ha

习武之人切记 仁者无敌

Those who practice martial arts must remember, the benevolent are unbeatable.

是谁在练太极 风生水起

Who is practicing Tai Chi, with the winds rising and waters stirring?

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quick, use the nunchaku, heh heh ha!

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quick, use the nunchaku, heh heh ha!

如果我有轻功 飞檐走壁

If I had lightness skill, I’d fly over rooftops and walls.

为人耿直不屈 一身正气

Straightforward and unyielding, filled with righteous spirit.

他们儿子我习惯从小就耳濡目染

Their son, I've been influenced since childhood.

什幺刀枪跟棍棒我都耍的有模有样

What swords, guns, and sticks? I handle them all with style.

什幺兵器最喜欢双截棍柔中带刚

What weapon do I love most? The nunchaku, soft yet firm.

想要去河南嵩山学少林跟武当

Want to go to Songshan in Henan to learn Shaolin and Wudang.

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quickly wield the nunchaku, hm hm ha hey

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quickly wield the nunchaku, hm hm ha hey

习武之人切记 仁者无敌

Martial folks remember, the kind-hearted are invincible

是谁在练太极 风生水起

Who’s practicing Tai Chi, making waves and flows

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quickly wield the nunchaku, hm hm ha hey

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quickly wield the nunchaku, hm hm ha hey

如果我有轻功 飞檐走壁

If I had lightness skills, I’d run rooftops with ease

为人耿直不屈 一身正气

Straightforward and unyielding, a spirit that gleams

他们儿子我习惯从小就耳濡目染

Their sons I’m used to, influenced since childhood

什幺刀枪跟棍棒我都耍的有模有样

What knives, guns, or sticks, I wield them with flair

什幺兵器最喜欢双截棍柔中带刚

What weapon loves the nunchaku, soft yet strong,

想要去河南嵩山学少林跟武当

I want to go to Songshan, Henan to learn Shaolin and Wudang.

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quick, use the nunchaku, hm hm ha xi,

快使用双截棍 哼哼哈兮

Quick, use the nunchaku, hm hm ha xi.

习武之人切记 仁者无敌

Remember, those who practice martial arts, the benevolent are invincible.

是谁在练太极 风生水起

Who’s practicing Tai Chi? The winds rise and the waters swell.

快使用双截棍 哼

Quick, use the nunchaku, hm,

快使用双截棍 哼

Quick, use the nunchaku, hm.

如果我有轻功 哼

If I had lightness skills, hm,

为人耿直不屈 一身正气 哼

Upright and unyielding, full of righteous spirit, hm.

快使用双截棍 哼

Quick, use the nunchucks, huh

我用手刀防御 哼

I defend with a knife-hand, huh

漂亮的回旋踢

A beautiful spinning kick
