English translation Lyrics: "Listen to Mother" by Jay Chou

Kid
Do you have a lot of question marks?
Why
Are other people watching cartoons
Yet I'm learning how to paint
And talking to the piano
Other people are playing videogames
Yet I'm leaning against the wall reciting my ABC
I said I wanted a big plane
Yet all I got was an old tape recorder
Why do I have to listen to mother's words?
After you grow up you'll begin to understand these words
After I grew up I began to understand
Why do I run faster than other people
Fly higher than other people
In the future all people will watch is the cartoons I draw
All people will sing is the songs I write
Mother's hardships, she doesn't let you see them
The warm recipes are in her heart
If you got time, hold her hand more
Hold hands and sleep walk together

Listen to mother's words
Don't let her get hurt
Want to quickly grow up
Then I can protect her
The beautiful white hair
Sprouting in happiness
The angel's magic
Benevolent in warmth

In your future
Music is your trump card
Taking your trump card to have a date
Oh dear! I don't want to lead you astray
You should just listen to your mother's words
You can start dating later
I know your future road
But mother is even clearer about it than me
You will begin to write this and that on your bag like the other students
But I suggest that it's best if you write Mother, I will do my best to study
Do my best to study
How did that come out from my mouth?
Don't want you to lose
So I tell you to do your best to study

The wool sweater mother knitted for you
You should keep it well
Because on Mother's Day I have to tell her I still have it
Yes
I met Chow Yung Fat
So you can show off to your classmates that the God of Gambling will be your father in the future
I can't find the love letter I wrote in my childhood
Don't give it to the person when you finished writing it
Because after two days you will pick it up in the playground
You will begin to like pop songs
Because Jacky Cheung is about to sing Goodbye Kiss

Listen to mother's words
Don't let her get hurt
Want to quickly grow up
Then I can protect her
The beautiful white hair
Sprouting in happiness
The angel's magic
Benevolent in warmth.

小朋友

對著鋼琴說話

我卻靠在牆壁背我的ABC

我說我要一台大大的飛機
wo shuo wo yao yi tai da da de fei ji
但卻得到一台舊舊錄音機
dan que de dao yi tai jiu jiu lu yin ji
爲什麽要聽媽媽的話

長大後你就會開始懂了這段話

長大後我開始明白

媽媽的辛苦不讓你看見
ma ma de xin ku bu rang ni kan jian
溫暖的食譜在她心裡面
wen nuan de shi pu zai ta xin li mian
有空就多多握握她的手

把手牽著一起夢遊

在你的未來

音樂是你的王牌

拿王牌談個戀愛

唉! 我不想把你教壞

還是聽媽媽的話吧

晚點再戀愛吧

我知道你未來的路

但媽比我更清楚

你會開始學其他同學在書包寫東寫西
ni hui kai shi xue qi ta tong xue zai shu bao xie dong xie xi
但我建議最好寫媽媽我會用功讀書

用功讀書
yong gong du shu
怎麽會從我嘴巴說出
zen me hui cong wo zui ba shuo chu
不想你輸
bu xiang ni shu
所以要叫你用功讀書
suo yi yao jiao ni yong gong du shu

媽媽織給你的毛衣
ma ma zhi gei ni de mao yi
你要好好地收著
ni yao hao hao di shou zhe
因爲母親節到時我要告訴她我還留著
yin wei mu qin jie dao shi wo yao gao su ta wo hai liu zhe
對了
dui le
我會遇到了周潤發
wo hui yu dao le zhou run fa
所以你可以跟同學炫耀賭神未來是你爸爸
suo yi ni ke yi gen tong xue xuan yao du shen wei lai shi ni ba ba
我找不到童年寫的情書
wo zhao bu dao tong nian xie de qing shu
你寫完不要送人
ni xie wan bu yao song ren
因爲過兩天你會在操場上撿到
yin wei guo liang tian ni hui zai cao chang shang jian dao
你會開始喜歡上流行歌
ni hui kai shi xi huan shang liu xing ge
因爲張學友開始凖備唱吻別
yin wei zhang xue you kai shi zhun bei chang wen bie
