Translation of the song 三十三块 artist Zheng Zhihua

我的口袋 有三十三块

I have NT$ 33 in my pocket,

这样的夜无法打车回来

Can't take a taxi back this night.

我的口袋 有三十三块

I have NT$ 33 in my pocket,

其他的钱都落入别人口袋

More money's fallen into others.

也许是上天故意安排

Maybe destined by fate,

也许是手气实在太坏

Or perhaps due to bad luck.

我想要为你赢得一个未来

I tried to win a bright future for you,

却一不小心输了现在

But I lost my present carelessly.

你叫我赌输了就不要回来

You told me: Don't get back if you lose!

难道你真的不明白

Aren't you really unaware?

只有输了钱的男人才会回来

Gamblers go home only after losing out,

赢钱的总是逍遥在外

Those who win always lead gay lives.

我的口袋 有三十三块

I have NT$ 33 in my pocket,

这样的我实在没脸回来

So I'm too disgraced to get back.

我的口袋 有三十三块

I have NT$ 33 in my pocket,

这一点钱不够你明天买菜

Not enough for you to go to market.

我知道你在苦苦等待

I know you're eagerly waiting,

也催促自己脚步加快

So I'm urging my pace too.

我好不容易才回到家门外

Finally I come back home,

却只能在门外徘徊

But can only roam before the door.

这是我看到家门突然打开

Suddenly I see the door open.

原来你早已经明白

You've already learnt about that.

你说吃了一次亏才会学一次乖

You say: Learn from your mistakes,

明天让我们从新再来

So let's start again tomorrow.

你叫我赌输了就不要回来

You told me: Don't get back if you lose!

难道你真的不明白

Aren't you really unaware?

只有输了钱的男人才会回来

Gamblers go home only after losing out,

赢钱的总是逍遥在外

Those who win always lead gay lives.

我的口袋 有三十三块

I have NT$ 33 in my pocket,

我输了钱但是心情愉快

I lost money but gained joy.

我的口袋 有三十三块

I have NT$ 33 in my pocket,

输钱的男人实在可爱

A man who lost money is really lovely.
