听妈妈的话 [Listen to Mother’s Words]

By 周杰伦 [Jay Chou]

 小朋友 你是否有很多问号

xiao peng you  ni shi fou you hen duo wen hao

little children   do you have a lot of questions

为什么别人在那看漫画

wei shen me bie ren zai na kan man hua

why others are reading manga

我却在学画画 对着钢琴说话

wo que zai  xue hua hua dui zhe gang qin shuo hua

while I am learning how to draw and communicate with the piano

别人在玩游戏 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

Others are playing games while I leaning against the wall and memorizing my ABCs

我说我要一台大大的飞机

wo shuo wo yao yi tai da da de fei ji

I said I wanted a huge airplane

我却得到一台旧旧录音机

wo que de dao yi tai jiu jiu lu yin ji

but  I got an old voice recorder

为什么要听妈妈的话

wei shen me yao ting ma ma de hua

why should I listen to mother's word

长大后你就会开始懂得这段话

zhang da hou ni jiu kai shi dong de zhe duan hua

You will begin to understand these after you grow up

长大后我开始明白

zhang da hou wo kai shi ming bai

After I got older I started to realize

为什么我跑得比别人快 飞得比别人高

wei shen me wo pao de bi bie ren kuai fei de bi bie ren gao

why I run faster and fly further than others

将来大家看的都是我画的漫画

jiang lai da jia kan de dou shi wo hua de man hua

In the future, everybody will be reading my mangas

大家唱的都是我写的歌

da jia chang de dou shi wo xie de ge

everybody will be singing the songs I wrote

妈妈的辛苦不让你看见

ma ma de xin ku bu rang ni kan jian

Mother won't let you see her work hard

温暖的食谱在她心里面

wen nuan de shi pu zai ta xin li mian

There are warm recipes inside her heart

有空就多多握握她的手

you kong jiu duo duo wo wo ta de shou

Hold her hands when you have time

把手牵着一起梦游

ba shou qian zhe yi qi meng you

Dreaming together while holding hands

^#听妈妈的话 别让她受伤

ting ma ma de hua bie rang ta shou shang

Listen to Mother's words Don't let her get hurt

想快快长大 才能保护她

xiang kuai kuai zhang da cai neng bao hu ta

Grow up quickly so you can protect her

美丽的白发 幸福中发芽

mei li de bai fa xing fu zhong fa ya

Beautiful white hair sprouting in happiness

天使的魔法 温暖中慈祥

tian shi de mo fa wen nuan zhong ci xiang

Angel's magic benevolence inside her warm heart

在你的未来 音乐是你的王牌

zai ni de wei lai yin le shi ni de wang pai

In your future music is your trump card

拿王牌谈个恋爱    唉 我不想被你教坏

na wang pai tan ge lian ai     ai wo bu xiang bei ni jiao huai

use it to get into a relationship  sigh I don't want to be a bad kid

还是听妈妈的话吧    晚点再恋爱吧

hai shi ting ma ma de hua ba    wan dian zai lian ai ba

Better listen to Mother's words and get into a relationship later

我知道你未来的路    但妈比我更清楚

wo zhi dao ni wei lai de lu    dan ma bi wo geng qing chu

I know your future path    but Mom knows better than me

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 other schoolmates writing thing on your school bag

但我建议你最好写妈妈我会用功读书

dan wo jian yi ni zui hao xie ma ma wo hui yong gong du shu

But I suggest you write : Mother, I will study hard

用功读书   怎么会从我嘴巴说出

yong gong du shu    zhen me hui cong wo zui ba shuo chu

Study hard, how can it just been said from my mouth

不想你输 所以要叫你用功读书

bu xiang ni shu suo yi jiao ni yong gong du shu

Don't want you to lose so told you to study hard

妈妈送给你的毛衣 你要好好的收着

ma ma song gei ni de mao yi  ni yao hao hao de shou zhe

You must keep the sweater that mother gave you

应为母亲节到时我要告诉她 我还留着

ying wei mu qin jie dao shi wo yao gao shu ta wo hai liu zhe

because on Mother's day I can tell her that I still have it

对了 我会已到周润发

dui le wo hui yi dao zhou run fa

oh yeah I will meet Zhou Run Fa¹

所以你可以跟同学炫耀 赌神未来是你爸爸

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

So you can flaunt to your schoolmates that God of Gambler will be your dad

我找不到童年写的情书

wo zhao bu dao tong nian xie de qing shu  

I can't find my childhood love letter  

你写完不要送人   因为过两天你会在操场上捡到

ni xie wan bu yao song ren   ying wei guo liang tian ni hui zai cao chang shang jian dao

Don't send it after you finished writing because you will find it on the playground two days later

你会开始喜欢上流行歌  

ni hui kai shi xi huan liu xing ge

You'll begin to love pop music 

因为张学友开始准备唱吻别

ying wei zhang xue you kai shi zhun bei chang wen bie

because jacky cheung is about to sing kiss goodbye²

Note :

¹Zhou Run Fa (周润发) is a famous actor. God of gambler is one of his movies in 1990s.

²Kiss Goodbye (吻别) is one of Jacky Cheung’s popular song. It’s been taken in English by MLTR as ‘Take Me to Your Heart.’
