听妈妈的话 | Ting Ma Ma De Hua | Listen to Mama's Words




小朋友 你是否有很多问号 为什么

Xiao peng you, ni shi fou you hen duo wen hao, wei shen me

Little children, do you have a lot of questions, why


别人在那看漫画 我却在学画画 对着钢琴说话

Bie ren zai na kan man hua, wo que zai xue hua hua, dui zhe gang qin shuo hua

When other kids are reading manga, I am learning to draw and learning to communicate with the piano


別人在玩游戏 我却靠在墙壁背我的ABC

Bie ren zai wan you xi, wo que kao zai qiang bi bei wo de 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 但却得到一台旧旧录音机

Wo shuo wo yao yi tai da da de fei ji, dan que de dao yi tai jiu jiu lu yin ji

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重话

Wei shen me, yao ting ma ma de hua, zhang da hou ni jiu hui kai shi dong de zhe zhong hua

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 为什么我跑得比別人快 飞得比別人高

Zhang da hou wo kai shi ming bai, wei shen me wo pao de bi bie ren kuai, fei de bi bie ren gao

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

Jiang lai da jia kan de dou shi wo hua de man hua, da jia chang de dou shi wo xie de ge

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 不讓你看見 温暖的食谱在她心里面

Ma ma de xin ku bu rang ni kan jian, wen nuan de shi pu zai ta xin li mian

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 把手牵着一起梦游

You kong jiu duo duo wo wo ta de shou, ba shou qian zhe yi qi meng you

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

Ting ma ma de hua, bie rang ta shou shang, xiang kuai kuai zhang da cai neng bao hu ta

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

Mei li de bai fa, xing fu zhong fa ya tian shi de mo fa, wen nuan zhong ci xiang

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

Zai ni de wei lai, yin yue shi ni de wang pai na wang pai tan ge lian ai

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

Ai wo bu xiang ba ni jiao huai hai shi ting ma ma de hua ba, wan dian zai lian ai ba

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

Wo zhi dao ni wei lai de lu, dang ma bi wo geng qing chu

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

Ni hui kai shi xue qi ta tong xue zai shu bao xie dong xie xi

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

Dan shi wo jian yi ni zui hao xie, ma ma wo hui yong gong du shu

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

Yong gong du shu, zhe me hui cong wo zui ba shuo chu

I will study hard, how does that come from my mouth?


不想你输所以要教你 用功读书

Bu xiang ni shu suo yi yao jiao ni, yong gong du shu

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

Ma ma zhi gei ni de mao yi, ni yao hao hao shou zhe

The sweater mother gave you, you have to keep it safe


因为母亲节到时我要告诉她 我还留着

Ying wei mu qin jie dao shi wo hui gao shu ta, wo hai liu zhe

Because on Mother's Day, I want to tell her, I still have it


对了 我会遇到了周润发

Dui le, wo hui yu dao le zou ren fa

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

suo yi ni ke yi geng tong xue xuan yao du shen wei lai shi ni ba ba

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

Wo zhao bu dao tong nian xie de qing shu, ni xie wan bu yao song ren

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

yin wei guo liang tian ni hui zai cao chang shang jian dao

Because you will find it on the playground two days later


别让她受伤 因为张学友开始准备唱吻别

Ni hui kai shi xi huan shang liu xing ge yin wei zhang xue you kai shi zhun bei chang wen bie

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

Ting ma ma de hua, bie rang ta shou shang, xiang kuai kuai zhang da cai neng bao hu ta

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
