生於1月17

爸爸嗟怨 搬了一世鋼筋
才換到 百呎不足 板間房
天天都說 想你給門庭光耀
你卻 愛坐窗邊繪素描
媽媽講過 只怪身世太低
願望是看到 你 出身當個文員
點頭 聽慣她滿口鄉音
但你 卻盼參加歌舞團
有誰會知道 內在無窮宏志
對牆角刻上 委屈多次
你無法掙脫 貧窮線
一出生 給看扁
噢 想跳起 不要困於房裡
噢 想試飛 爛地哪會起機？
想青春可創出天地 現實叫你卑微
噢 爭口氣 yeah yeah
一堆功課 需要登入網址
配備 太 奢侈家裡難求
波鞋 補滿釘仍是破洞
但你 永遠開出好角球
你最愛嚮往 一睹非洲草原
最遠卻只到 轉角街邊休憩亭
若然眼界有限 別在意
只需知 願望是 不僅至此
噢 請跳起 不再困於房裡
噢 飛躍起 逆著大氣起飛
讓青春開拓出天地 別讓信心分離
噢 爭口氣
比賽現在 先發起

Born on January 17th

Father complained, hauling steel bars all his life,
Only to afford a cramped, hundred-square-foot room.
He says every day, he wants you to bring glory to the family,
But you love to sit by the window and sketch.
Mother said, blaming our lowly origins,
Her wish was to see you become a clerk.
You nod, used to her thick rural accent,
But you dream of joining a dance troupe.
Who would know the boundless ambition within you,
Etched on the corner of the wall, countless grievances.
You can't break free from the poverty line,
Looked down upon since birth.
Oh, you want to jump, not be trapped in this room,
Oh, you want to try to fly, but how can you take off from this wasteland?
You want your youth to create a new world, but reality tells you to be humble.
Oh, fight for your pride, yeah yeah.
A pile of homework requires logging into websites,
Equipment too luxurious, our home can't afford it.
Sneakers patched with nails, still full of holes,
But you always score perfect corner kicks.
You long to witness the African savanna,
But the farthest you've been is the resting pavilion at the corner of the street.
If your vision is limited, don't worry,
Just know that your aspirations are not limited to this.
Oh, please jump up, no longer confined to this room,
Oh, leap up, soar against the air,
Let your youth open up a new world, don't let your confidence fade.
Oh, fight for your pride.
The competition starts now, take the initiative.
