文山呐 等你写完词
Wenshan, I'm waiting for you to finish the lyrics
我演唱会都开完了
I've already completed my concert
没关系 慢慢来
It's okay, take your time
这首歌我自己了(来)
This song, I composed it myself (come on)
说到中学时期
Speaking of my middle school days
家乡的一片片片梯田
The terraced fields of my hometown
是我看过最美的绿地
Are the most beautiful greens I've ever seen
也于是因此让我得了最佳摄影
And so, I was awarded for best photography
莫名其妙在画面中的我
Mysteriously, I appear in the picture
不会写词都像个诗人
Even without the knack for lyrics, I feel like a poet
坐着公车上学的我
Sitting on the bus heading to school,
看着窗外的牛啃草
I watch the cows grazing outside the window.
是一种说不出的自由自在
It's a kind of freedom that's hard to express.
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei,
哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊
Oh, my dear little cow,
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei,
哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊
Oh, my dear little cow,
面店旁的小水沟
The small ditch by the noodle shop,
留着我们长大的梦
Holds the dreams of our childhood.
绕过天真 跳至收割期
Circling through innocence, jumping to the harvest time.
人们的汗水夹杂着满足与欢笑
People's sweat mingles with satisfaction and laughter,
形成我现在最(舍)不得的画面、面
Creating the scene I now hold dear,
也是我另一项参展作品
It's also another piece in my exhibition,
靠着回忆 画成油画
Relying on memories to paint an oil canvas,
拿到奖状 有个啥用
What good is a certificate in hand?
鼓励你多去回忆 是吧
Encouraging you to reminisce more, right?
哼 我真想撕掉 换回自然
Hmm, I really want to tear it down and regain the natural.
怎么梯田不见 多了几家饭店
Where have the terraced fields gone, replaced by a few restaurants?
住在里面看着西洋片
Living inside, watching Western films,
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.
象征人们 蒸蒸日上
Symbolizing people rising day by day
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
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
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei
哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊
Oh, my dear little cow
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei
哦 我亲爱的牛儿啊
Oh, my dear little cow
其实我回家就是想要阻止一切
In truth, I return home to halt everything
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
虽然这是我编出来的事实
Though this is a reality I've woven together
有点讽刺有点酸性
A bit ironic, a touch acidic,
但它却在这快乐社会发生 产生共鸣
Yet it resonates in this joyful society.
产生共鸣 来阻止一切暴力
It resonates, to stop all violence.
眼泪随着音符吸入血液 情绪
Tears flow with the notes, absorbing emotions.
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.
好多的假象
So many illusions.
妈妈常说 乖 听你爸话
Mom often says, 'Be good, listen to your dad.'
你叫我怎么跟你像
How can you expect me to be like you?
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei,
别再这样打我妈妈
Don't hit me like that anymore, Mom.
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya Na Lu Wan Na E Na Ya Hei
我说的话你怎么不听?
Why don’t you listen to what I say?
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.
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.
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?
我做的对 我的绝对 你会不会?
I'm right, my certainty, will you join me?
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?
我就去便利商店买支笔给你
I'll hit the convenience store and buy you a pen.
来比比比丘比 比丘比丘比丘比
Let’s compare, compare, compare away, compare away, compare, compare.
比较来比较去 比较来比较去
Comparing back and forth, comparing back and forth.
比较来比较去 比卡丘
Comparing this and that, it's Pikachu
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei
别再这样打我妈妈
Don't hit my mom like that anymore
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei
我说的话你怎么不听?
Why don't you listen to what I say?
Hoi Ya E Ya 那鲁湾 Na E Na Ya Hei
Hoi Ya E Ya, Naluwa Na E Na Ya Hei
