Lyrics and translation 溫拿, Wa Wa & 黃霑 - 好學為福
好學為福
Good learning is a blessing
好仁不好學
其蔽也愚
好智不好學
其蔽也蕩
Love
humanity
but
don't
study,
its
fault
is
ignorance,
love
wisdom
but
don't
study,
its
fault
is
chaos
好信不好學
其蔽也賊
好直不好學
其蔽也絞
Love
faith
but
don't
study,
its
fault
is
theft,
love
rightness
but
don't
study,
its
fault
is
execution
好勇不好學
其蔽也亂
好剛不好學
其蔽也狂
Love
bravery
but
don't
study,
its
fault
is
chaos,
love
strength
but
don't
study,
its
fault
is
madness
就算你係仁智信直勇剛
依然必須好學至得
Even
if
you
are
benevolent,
wise,
faithful,
upright,
brave,
and
strong,
you
still
have
to
study
既有黃金屋
也有顏如玉
There
are
golden
mansions
and
beautiful
women
一息尚存書必讀
讀書多厚福
As
long
as
there
is
life,
there
must
be
reading,
reading
brings
great
happiness
好學為福
好學為福
Good
learning
brings
happiness
Good
learning
brings
happiness
發奮做人書必讀
實在必須讀
Work
hard
to
be
a
good
person,
must
read,
really
must
read
子日:「學而時習之不亦悅乎
有朋自遠方來不亦樂乎
Master
said:
"Study
and
practice
it
often,
isn't
that
pleasant?
When
friends
come
from
afar,
isn't
that
joyful?
人不知而不煜不亦君子乎」
People
do
not
know
and
do
not
feel
ashamed,
aren't
they
gentlemen?"
(乎乎乎,我真係無曬乎)
(Alas,
I
am
really
without
alas)
[口白]Litmus變紅就係ACID
變藍就証明係鹼性
[Speech]
Litmus
turns
red
when
it's
ACID
and
turns
blue
when
it's
alkaline
正正得負負負得正
唉!
又負又正總之我真係唔生性
Positive
with
negative
is
negative,
negative
with
positive
is
positive.
Alas!
Positive
and
negative,
in
short,
I
am
really
naughty
讀數理化就頭都昏
背國語我就牙都郁
I
get
dizzy
when
I
study
science
and
math,
my
teeth
are
itchy
when
I
recite
Chinese
始終未明點樣讀
我大考呢次僕
I
still
don't
know
how
to
study,
I
am
going
to
fail
this
big
exam
腦裂頭空
眼累人縮
無法讀完點樣會熟
我實在一碌木
My
brain
is
split,
my
head
is
empty,
my
eyes
are
tired
and
my
body
is
shrinking.
I
can't
finish
reading,
how
can
I
be
familiar
with
it?
I
am
really
a
block
of
wood
[口白]A-B-C-D-E-F-G
[Speech]
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
Write
'I'
BEFORE
'E'
Except
After
'C'
Write
'I'
BEFORE
'E'
Except
After
'C'
記住呢句順口訣就包你唔會串錯字
Remember
this
mantra
and
you
will
never
misspell
words
長惻惻既就係小人
坦蕩蕩既就係君子
Those
who
are
timid
are
villains,
those
who
are
open-minded
are
gentlemen
KIS2係二硫錪化鉀[友白)
KIS2
is
potassium
disulfide[Friend's
voice]
吓!
二硫錪化鉀
我重以為係KISS
Wow!
Potassium
disulfide.
I
thought
it
was
KISS
你咪坐度頭嗒嗒
你咪顧住成身郁
Don't
just
sit
there
nodding
your
head,
don't
just
move
your
body
一於實行苦幹讀
用足心機谷
Let's
actually
work
hard
and
study,
use
our
brains
and
energy
腦用神諗
眼用神捉
Use
your
brain
to
think
and
use
your
eyes
to
absorb
句句留神專心讀
讀得多梗熟
Pay
attention
to
every
sentence
and
read
carefully.
The
more
you
read,
the
more
you
will
know
再讀唔識
我發誓唔郁
I
swear
I
won't
move
if
I
can't
understand
一於係刨起勢讀
填鴨咁猛谷
Let's
start
reading
and
cramming,
just
like
a
duck
好學為福
好學為福
Good
learning
brings
happiness
Good
learning
brings
happiness
一息尚存書必讀

As
