Lyrics: Jay Chou

小朋友　你是否有很多问号　为什么
Little children, do you have a lot of questions, why

别人在那看漫画　我却在学画画　对著钢琴说话
When other kids are reading manga, I am learning to draw and learning to
communicate with the piano

别人在玩游戏　我却靠在墙壁背我的ABC
When other kids are playing games, I am leaning on the wall memorizing my
ABCs

我说我要一台大大的飞机　我却得到一台旧旧录音机
I said that I wanted a large airplane, but I got an old recorder


为什么　要听妈妈的话　长大后你就会开始懂得这种话
Why should I listen to mother's words? When you grow up you will understand
what I am saying

长大后我开始明白　为什么我跑的比别人快　飞的比别人高
After I got older I started to realize why I run faster than others and
fly further than other people

将来大家看的都是我画的漫画　大家唱的都是　我写的歌
In the future, people will be reading my mangas and all the songs they sing
will be written by me

妈妈的辛苦　不让你看见　温暖的食谱在她心里面
Mother's hard work isn't seen by others. She knows the warm recipe by heart

有空就多多握握她的手　把手牵著一起梦游
When you have time, hold her hand and sleep dream together

听妈妈的话　别让她受伤　想快快长大　才能保护她
Listen to mother's words, don't let her get hurt. You want to grow up quickly
so you can take care of her

美丽的白发　幸福中发芽　天使的魔法　温暖中慈祥
Beautiful white hair, growing inside happiness. Angel's magic benevolence
within (her) gentleness

在你的未来　音乐是你的王牌　拿王牌谈个恋爱
In your future, music is your key to success, use it to get into a relationship

唉　我不想把你教坏　还是听妈妈的话吧　晚点在恋爱吧
Sigh, I don't want to teach you to be a bad kid. Why don't you listen to
what your mother says and get in a relationship later

我知道你未来的路　当妈比我更清楚
I know your future path, but your mother knows it even better

你会开始学其他同学在书包写东写西
You will start imitating friends and write things on your backpack

但我建议你最好写　妈妈我会用功读书
But I suggest you better write: Mom I will put in my best effort to learn

用功读书　怎么会从我嘴巴说出
I will study hard, how does that come from my mouth?

不想你输所以要教你　用功读书
I need to teach you because I don't want you to lose. Study hard

妈妈织给你的毛衣　你要好好收著
The sweater mother gave you, you have to keep it safe

因为母亲节到时我要告诉她　我还留著
Because on Mother's Day, I want to tell her, I still have it

对了　我会遇到了周润发
Oh yea, I will meet Zhou Run Fa*
*Zhou Run Fa is a famous actor (Yes...He is Chow Yun Fat)

所以你可以跟同学炫耀　赌神未来是你爸爸
So you can show off to your friends, "The God of Gambling will be your father"


我找不到童年写的情书　你写完不要送人
I can't find the childhood love letter. Don't give it away after you write
it

因为过两天你会在操场上捡到
Because you will find it on the playground two days later

你会开始喜欢上流行歌　因为张学友开始准备唱吻别
You will start to like pop music because Jacky Cheung is about to sing Kiss
Goodbye*
*(Kiss Goodbye is a famous song that was a hit in the 90s)

听妈妈的话　别让她受伤　想快快长大　才能保护她
Listen to mother's words, don't let her get hurt. You want to grow up quickly
so you can take care of her and protect her。

[NejisTrueLove]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the first line of the translation... wouldn't it be 'little friend' instead of 'little children'?

[Geistesblitz]

It's like he's referring to his children friends. I didn't translate it myself.

[Cheung2111]

good

[HugxKisses21]

thanks for the trabslation! i love the song and now i finally understood it

[LazerJet27]

Kato!

[soysauceandgarlic]

@NejisTrueLove xiao3 peng2 you3 is a word phrase that is commonly understood in Chinese to mean 'child/children', though if you break it into its individual components you have 'little friend'. It's similar to how the word phrase for computer, dian4 nao3, can be broken into electric brain. But you would just translate it into computer.
