Translation of the song 半斤八兩 artist Sam Hui

哋呢班打工仔

Working folks like us

通街走糴直頭係壞腸胃

All working hard, get a stomachache

搵嗰些少到月底點夠洗 (奀過鬼)

Earn just little money, all gone too soon (Less than anyone)

確係認真濕滯

Always driving us nuts

最弊波士郁啲發威 (癲過雞)

The boss is old rude (Crazy as hell)

一味喺處係唔係亂嚟吠 (汪汪汪)

Barking at us like a dog (Yap yap yap)

翳親加薪塊面挪起惡睇 (扭吓計)

Always grump when asked a raise (A quarell)

你就認真開胃

Never ever!

(半斤八兩) 做到隻積咁嘅樣

(What a hell) Working like mad

(半斤八兩) 濕水炮仗點會響

(What a hell) Being too gentle like a wet fire-cracker to explode

(半斤八兩) 夠薑呀揸鎗走去搶

(What a hell) Missing guts to rob around

出咗半斤力想話攞番足八兩

Want to getting paid that I deserve

家陣惡搵食　

Times are hard,

邊有半斤八兩咁理想（吹漲）

Things just ain't easy

我哋呢班打工仔

Working folks like us

一生一世爲錢幣做奴隷

Slaving for littile money all through life

嗰種辛苦折堕講出嚇鬼（死俾你睇)

Our lives shock even ghost (It's killing)

咪話冇乜所謂

Don't say nothing to say

(半斤八兩) 就算有福都冇你享

(What a hell) Luck is all for the boss, not for us

(半斤八兩) 重惨過滾水淥猪腸

(What a hell) Bad luck never comes alone

(半斤八兩) 雞碎咁多都要啄

(What a hell) Gotta chase of every penny

出咗半斤力想話攞番足八兩

Want to getting paid that I deserve

家陣惡搵食　

Times are hard,

邊有半斤八兩咁理想（吹漲）

Things just ain't easy

我哋呢班打工仔

Working folks like us

一生一世爲錢幣做奴隷

Slaving for littile money all through life

嗰種辛苦折堕講出嚇鬼（死俾你睇)

Our lives shock even ghost (It's killing)

咪話冇乜所謂

Don't say nothing to say
