  1. 文山呐 等你写完词

    Wenshan, I'm waiting for you to finish the lyrics

  2. 我演唱会都开完了

    I've already completed my concert

  3. 没关系 慢慢来

    It's okay, take your time

  4. 这首歌我自己了(来)

    This song, I composed it myself (come on)

  5. 说到中学时期

    Speaking of my middle school days

  6. 家乡的一片片片梯田

    The terraced fields of my hometown

  7. 是我看过最美的绿地

    Are the most beautiful greens I've ever seen

  8. 也于是因此让我得了最佳摄影

    And so, I was awarded for best photography

  1. 莫名其妙在画面中的我

    Mysteriously, I appear in the picture

  2. 不会写词都像个诗人

    Even without the knack for lyrics, I feel like a poet

  3. 坐着公车上学的我

    Sitting on the bus heading to school,

  4. 看着窗外的牛啃草

    I watch the cows grazing outside the window.

  5. 是一种说不出的自由自在

    It's a kind of freedom that's hard to express.

  6. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei,

  7. 哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊

    Oh, my dear little cow,

  8. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei,

  9. 哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊

    Oh, my dear little cow,

  10. 面店旁的小水沟

    The small ditch by the noodle shop,

  11. 留着我们长大的梦

    Holds the dreams of our childhood.

  12. 绕过天真 跳至收割期

    Circling through innocence, jumping to the harvest time.

  13. 人们的汗水夹杂着满足与欢笑

    People's sweat mingles with satisfaction and laughter,

  14. 形成我现在最(舍)不得的画面、面

    Creating the scene I now hold dear,

  15. 也是我另一项参展作品

    It's also another piece in my exhibition,

  16. 靠着回忆 画成油画

    Relying on memories to paint an oil canvas,

  17. 拿到奖状 有个啥用

    What good is a certificate in hand?

  18. 鼓励你多去回忆 是吧

    Encouraging you to reminisce more, right?

  19. 哼 我真想撕掉 换回自然

    Hmm, I really want to tear it down and regain the natural.

  20. 怎么梯田不见 多了几家饭店

    Where have the terraced fields gone, replaced by a few restaurants?

  21. 住在里面看着西洋片

    Living inside, watching Western films,

  22. 几只水牛 却变成画 挂在墙壁上

    A few water buffaloes, yet they've turned into paintings hanging on the wall.

  23. 象征人们 蒸蒸日上

    Symbolizing people rising day by day

  24. 一堆游客 偶尔想看看窗外的观光景点

    A bunch of tourists sometimes yearn to see the sights outside their window

  25. 但只看到 比你住的再高一层的饭店

    But all they see are hotels towering above where they stay

  26. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei

  27. 哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊

    Oh, my dear little cow

  28. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei

  29. 哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊

    Oh, my dear little cow

  30. 其实我回家就是想要阻止一切

    In truth, I return home to halt everything

  31. 让家庭回到过去甜甜温馨的欢乐香味

    Bringing the family back to the sweet and warm fragrance of joyful times

  32. 虽然这是我编出来的事实

    Though this is a reality I've woven together

  33. 有点讽刺有点酸性

    A bit ironic, a touch acidic,

  34. 但它却在这快乐社会发生 产生共鸣

    Yet it resonates in this joyful society.

  35. 产生共鸣 来阻止一切暴力

    It resonates, to stop all violence.

  36. 眼泪随着音符吸入血液 情绪

    Tears flow with the notes, absorbing emotions.

  37. 从小到大 你叫我学习你把你当榜样

    From childhood to now, you told me to learn, you set yourself as the example.

  38. 好多的假象

    So many illusions.

  39. 妈妈常说 乖 听你爸话

    Mom often says, 'Be good, listen to your dad.'

  40. 你叫我怎么跟你像

    How can you expect me to be like you?

  41. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei,

  42. 别再这样打我妈妈

    Don't hit me like that anymore, Mom.

  43. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei

  44. 我说的话你怎么不听?

    Why don’t you listen to what I say?

  45. 我做音乐不是在举办辩论大会 辩论自己对音乐有多会

    I’m here making music, not holding a debate, debating how good I am with melodies.

  46. 买的器材有多贵 炫耀自己有多可贵

    How expensive the gear I bought, showing off how precious I can be.

  47. 我做音乐 你们排队 看演唱会 我说的对

    I’m making music, and you all line up to watch my concert, am I right?

  48. 我做的对 我的绝对 你会不会?

    I'm right, my certainty, will you join me?

  49. 会不会拿音乐来比来比去 那么爱笔

    Will we go back and forth with music, loving to compare?

  50. 我就去便利商店买支笔给你

    I'll hit the convenience store and buy you a pen.

  51. 来比比比丘比 比丘比丘比丘比

    Let’s compare, compare, compare away, compare away, compare, compare.

  52. 比较来比较去 比较来比较去

    Comparing back and forth, comparing back and forth.

  53. 比较来比较去 比卡丘

    Comparing this and that, it's Pikachu

  54. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei

  55. 别再这样打我妈妈

    Don't hit my mom like that anymore

  56. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei

  57. 我说的话你怎么不听?

    Why don't you listen to what I say?

  58. Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei
