  1. 文山

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

  2. 演唱完了

    I've already completed my concert

  3. 没关系 慢慢

    It's okay, take your time

  4. 首歌自己()

    This song, I composed it myself (come on)

  5. 中学时期

    Speaking of my middle school days

  6. 家乡一片片梯田

    The terraced fields of my hometown

  7. 我看最美绿

    Are the most beautiful greens I've ever seen

  8. 于是因此得了最佳摄影

    And so, I was awarded for best photography

  9. 莫名其妙画面中的

    Mysteriously, I appear in the picture

  10. 不会都像诗人

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

  11. 公车上学

    Sitting on the bus heading to school,

  12. 窗外

    I watch the cows grazing outside the window.

  13. 一种说不出自由自在

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

  14. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

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

  15. 亲爱

    Oh, my dear little cow,

  16. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

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

  17. 亲爱

    Oh, my dear little cow,

  18. The small ditch by the noodle shop,

  19. 我们长大

    Holds the dreams of our childhood.

  20. 天真 收割

    Circling through innocence, jumping to the harvest time.

  21. 人们汗水夹杂着满足欢笑

    People's sweat mingles with satisfaction and laughter,

  22. 形成现在()不得画面

    Creating the scene I now hold dear,

  23. 也是另一作品

    It's also another piece in my exhibition,

  24. 回忆 油画

    Relying on memories to paint an oil canvas,

  25. 拿到奖状

    What good is a certificate in hand?

  26. 鼓励回忆

    Encouraging you to reminisce more, right?

  27. 真想撕掉 自然

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

  28. 怎么梯田不见 饭店

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

  29. 住在里面西洋

    Living inside, watching Western films,

  30. 水牛 变成 墙壁上

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

  31. 象征人们 蒸蒸日上

    Symbolizing people rising day by day

  32. 一堆游客 偶尔想看看窗外观光景点

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

  33. 只看到 一层饭店

    But all they see are hotels towering above where they stay

  34. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

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

  35. 亲爱

    Oh, my dear little cow

  36. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

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

  37. 亲爱

    Oh, my dear little cow

  38. 其实回家就是想要阻止一切

    In truth, I return home to halt everything

  39. 家庭回到过去甜甜温馨欢乐香味

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

  40. 虽然出来事实

    Though this is a reality I've woven together

  41. 有点讽刺有点酸性

    A bit ironic, a touch acidic,

  42. 快乐社会发生 产生共鸣

    Yet it resonates in this joyful society.

  43. 产生共鸣 阻止一切暴力

    It resonates, to stop all violence.

  44. 眼泪随着音符吸入血液 情绪

    Tears flow with the notes, absorbing emotions.

  45. 从小 学习榜样

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

  46. 好多假象

    So many illusions.

  47. 妈妈

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

  48. 怎么

    How can you expect me to be like you?

  49. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

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

  50. 别再这样妈妈

    Don't hit me like that anymore, Mom.

  51. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

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

  52. 的话怎么?

    Why don’t you listen to what I say?

  53. 音乐不是举办辩论大会 辩论自己音乐

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

  54. 器材 炫耀自己可贵

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

  55. 音乐 你们排队 演唱 说的

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

  56. 做的 我的绝对 会不会?

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

  57. 会不会音乐 那么

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

  58. 就去便利商店

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

  59. 比比比丘 比丘比丘比丘

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

  60. 比较比较 比较比较

    Comparing back and forth, comparing back and forth.

  61. 比较比较

    Comparing this and that, it's Pikachu

  62. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei

  63. 别再这样妈妈

    Don't hit my mom like that anymore

  64. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei

  65. 的话怎么?

    Why don't you listen to what I say?

  66. Hoi Ya E Ya Na E Na Ya Hei

    Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei
