Translation of the song 聽媽媽的話 artist Jay Chou

小朋友你是否有很多問號

Little children, do you have a lot of questions?

為什麼 別人在那看漫畫

Why, when others were reading manga

我卻在學畫畫 對著鋼琴說話

I was learning to draw and play the piano?

別人在玩遊戲 我卻靠在牆壁背我的ABC

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

我說我要一台大大的飛機

I said that I wanted a huge airplane,

但卻得到一台舊舊錄音機

But I got an old, used recorder1 instead

為什麼要聽媽媽的話

Why should you listen to your mother's words?

長大後你就會開始懂了這段話

When you are grown up, you will begin to understand

長大後我開始明白

When I grew up, I started to realize

為什麼我跑得比別人快 飛得比別人高

Why I ran faster and flew higher than others

將來大家看的都是我畫的漫畫

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

大家唱的都是我寫的歌

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

媽媽的辛苦不讓你看見

You can't see your mother's work

溫暖的食譜在她心裡面

There are warm recipes in her heart,

有空就多多握握她的手

When you have time, hold her hand

把手牽著一起夢遊

And holding hands. dream together.

聽媽媽的話 別讓她受傷

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

想快快長大 才能保護她

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

美麗的白髮 幸福中發芽

Beautiful white hair grows in happiness

天使的魔法 溫暖中慈祥

The magic of an angel, warmth in kindness

在你的未來 音樂是你的王牌

In your future, music will be your secret weapon

拿王牌談個戀愛 唉！我不想把你教壞

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

還是聽媽媽的話吧 晚點再戀愛吧

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

我知道你未來的路 但媽比我更清楚

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

你會開始學其他同學在書包寫東寫西

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

但我建議最好寫媽媽我會用功讀書

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

用功讀書 怎麼會從我嘴巴說出

Study hard, why do I say this?

不想你輸 所以要叫你用功讀書

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

媽媽織給你的毛衣 你要好好的收著

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

因為母親節到時我要告訴她我還留著

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

對了 我會遇到周潤發

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

所以你可以跟同學炫耀賭神未來是你爸爸

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

我找不到童年寫的情書 你寫完不要送人

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

因為過兩天你會在操場上撿到

Because two days later you will find it on the playground

你會開始喜歡上流行歌

You will start to like pop music

因為張學友開始準備唱吻別

Because Jacky Cheung is about to sing Kiss Goodbye 4

聽媽媽的話 別讓她受傷

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

想快快長大 才能保護她

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

美麗的白髮 幸福中發芽

Beautiful white hair grows in happiness

天使的魔法 溫暖中慈祥

The magic of an angel, warmth in kindness

聽媽媽的話 別讓她受傷

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

想快快長大 才能保護她

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