聽媽媽的話 [Tīng māmā de huà] [English translation]

Little children, do you have a lot of questions?

Why, when others were reading manga

I was learning to draw and play the piano?

While the others were playing games, I was leaning on the wall, learning my ABCs?

I said that I wanted a huge airplane,

But I got an old, used recorder1 instead

Why should you listen to your mother's words?

When you are grown up, you will begin to understand

When I grew up, I started to realize

Why I ran faster and flew higher than others

In the future, the manga that everyone reads will all be drawn by me,

And the songs they all sing will all be written by me

You can't see your mother's work

There are warm recipes in her heart,

When you have time, hold her hand

And holding hands. dream together.

Listen to your mother's words, don't let her get hurt

You want to grow up fast, so you will be able to take care of her

Beautiful white hair grows in happiness

The magic of an angel, warmth in kindness

In your future, music will be your secret weapon

Use it to find love, oh, I don't want to teach you poorly

So listen to your mom's words for now, be in love later

I know your future path, but your mother can see it more clearly than I

You will start to imitate your classmates and write things on your backpack

But I suggest you write: "Mom, I will study hard"

Study hard, why do I say this?

I don't want you to lose, so I must tell you to study hard

The sweater your mother gave you, you must keep it well

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

Yes, I'm going to run into Zhou Runfa 2

So you can dazzle your classmates, the God of Gambling 3 will be your father

I can't find the love letter I wrote in my childhood, don't give it away after you've written it

Because two days later you will find it on the playground

You will start to like pop music

Because Jacky Cheung is about to sing "Kiss Goodbye" 4

Listen to your mother's words, don't let her get hurt

You want to grow up fast, so you will be able to take care of her

Beautiful white hair grows in happiness

The magic of an angel, warmth in kindness

Listen to your mother's words, don't let her get hurt

You want to grow up fast, so you will be able to take care of her

When I grew up, I started to realize

Why I ran faster and flew higher than others

In the future, the manga that everyone reads will all be drawn by me,

And the songs they all sing will all be written by me

You can't see your mother's work

There are warm recipes in her heart,

When you have time, hold her hand

And holding hands. dream together.

Listen to your mother's words, don't let her get hurt

You want to grow up fast, so you will be able to take care of her

Beautiful white hair grows in happiness

The magic of an angel, warmth in kindness
