Translated lyrics

Here are English translations of some of my Chinese song lyrics.




我每天都遇到民工
I see migrant workers every day
对他们的生活什么都不懂
I know nothing about their lives
今天我不忙
Today I have nothing to do
所以问一个民工最近怎么样?
So I ask a migrant worker about his life

他很少看老婆或儿郎
He seldom sees his wife or son
从早到晚在街角上发传单
From sun-up to sun-down he hands out fliers on the street
我说那很辛苦
He seems to have it really hard
另外他每一天吃含地沟油的食物
And every day he eats food made with gutter oil

但是连民工也有自己的梦想
But even migrant workers have their dreams
他某一天会成为欺负员工的老板
Some day he'll become a boss who bullies his workers

他明年春节回不去
He can't make it home next Spring Festival
他在网吧才能上qq
He has to be in an internet bar to go on QQ
他真有压力
He really faces a lot of pressure
而且他被很多吃货的人看不起
And he's looked down on by a lot of useless people

现在这个民工活得非常狼狈
Right now this migrant worker has a life full of hardship
但他将会成为养三个二奶的色鬼
But some day he'll be a playboy with three mistresses

他每天都遇到不接受传单的人
Every day he meets people who don't accept fliers
但他某一天会用宝马撞死他们
But one day he'll run them all over in his BMW

以前我不是好男人,我没结婚但养过二奶
In the past I wasn't a good man, I've never married but I've kept mistresses
那时我爱喝酒泡妞抽烟吃快餐还有打牌
At that time I loved drinking, chasing girls, smoking, eating fast food and playing cards
我爱说脏话,我也常爱挖鼻孔
I loved swearing, I also often picked my nose
我就是与众不同
I was a non-conformist

现在我的唯一爱好是在家帮姐姐看宝宝
Now, my only hobby is staying at home and looking after my sister's baby
晚上我看电视例如《绝望主妇》和《非诚勿扰》
In the evenings I watch TV such as "Desperate Housewives" and "If You Are The One" 
越来越喜欢更擅长换尿布
I'm getting better and better at changing the baby
我就是家庭主夫
I'm a house husband

哎呀呀也哎呀呀奥
Aiyayayeah Aiyayaoh!
我越无聊生活越好
Being boring makes me happy
哎呀呀也哎呀呀恩
Aiyayayeah Aiyayaen
我渐渐的变成
I'm slowly becoming
都市的男人
An urbane man. 

因为怕有色情思想所以我全天戴安全套
In case I have dirty thoughts, I keep a condom on at all times
因为怕被黄色网站影响所以我家里没有电脑
Because there's porn on the internet, I don't allow computers in the house
当我在酒吧我也只会喝七喜
When I'm in a bar, I will only drink 7-Up
偶尔也会喝雪碧
On occasion I'll drink Sprite.

哎呀呀也哎呀呀奥
Aiyayayeah Aiyayaoh!
我越无聊生活越好
Being boring makes me happy
哎呀呀也哎呀呀恩
Aiyayayeah Aiyayaen
我渐渐的变成
I'm slowly becoming
都市的男人
An urbane man. 

Baby baby 我真爱你
Baby baby I love you
但是结婚了后才能牵手
But we have to wait until we're married before we can hold hands. 

道别
Before parting
我想告诉你
I would like to tell you
我经常捧着你的脸
I often caress your face
在我白日梦丽
In my daydreams

你是我最喜欢德已婚女人第三
You are my third favourite married woman
我永远忘不了你, 我暗恋的老板。 
I will never forget you, the boss I had a crush on

道别
Since parting
我后悔不告诉你
I regret not telling you
我要跟女友分手
I intend to break up with my girlfriend
你是否要跟老公分离?
Do you intend to leave your husband?

你比我的女友成熟,还有赚更多钱 
You are more mature than my girlfriend, and you make more money
我依然想做你免费的小白脸 
I still want to be your free toy-boy

也许我不道德
Maybe I'm immoral
不过我有房有车
But I have a house and a car

东北的女孩不美
Northeastern women are not beautiful
台湾的歌手都gay
Taiwanese singers are all gay
新疆人的国语比我还烂
Xinjiangese people speak Chinese even worse than I do
