Paroles et traduction 伍佰 - 樓仔厝

樓仔厝

坐着土腳底的鐵路來到這
看隔壁阿財說的敢攏有影
看敢是世界上很有名
看敢是人人出門都駛轎車

聽到四周全全攏是吵鬧的聲
走沒兩步左邊右邊攏總是車
要過大路大家就要做陣走
那沒司機就會給阮叭叭叭

阮要來去西門町去感受一下
看那的東西敢是俗擱大碗
等一個公車我等到下午兩點半
乾脆來去做那落計程車
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會土腳歸會攏是一坑一缺
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會整個天頂是攏總全沙
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會烏麥攏鑽來頭前擱後壁
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 紅燈青燈伊老師那像攏總沒教
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝)

歸條路攏是賣鞋擱賣衫
還有一條街整個攏在做電影
有的朋友擱實在有影很好禮
手給阮拖着擱一直叫阮入來坐

阮要來去東區感受一下
看那的人敢是攏總穿甲足叭
擠一下公車擠走半天還沒到我
歸去有擱來去做那落計程車

(想過來又想過去) 那會整排車大家攏在喘大氣
(想過來又想過去) 那會大家攏給垃圾丟在路邊
(想過來又想過去) 天上的鳥仔是安怎攏總飛去避
(想過來又想過去) 這款的環境伊敢有影住會舒適
(想過來又想過去)

看到大家人伊家那像攏足好額
七八十攤排在路邊在賣東西
熊熊咻一下歸下攏總沒看人影
當時啊就是那個警察擱來抓
阮要來去士林夜市感受一下
聽說那裡東西實在有影有夠好吃
要找公車牌我找甲霧煞煞
看破得要花那個兩百八去坐計程車

(轉過來又轉過去) 轉甲司機險險撞從安全島去
(轉過來又轉過去) 轉甲今嘛不知是民國幾年
(轉過來又轉過去) 轉甲全身軀煞感覺攏無趣味
(轉過來又轉過去) 轉甲這世人那像無通吃到百二
(轉過來又轉過去)

整條路攏總擠甲看沒頭前
還擱有一間鐵厝是有夠大間
在賣蚵仔煎牛排肉圓花枝和銼冰
還擱有一種大餅包小餅

(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會土腳歸會攏是一坑一缺
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會整個天頂是攏總全沙
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會烏麥攏鑽來頭前擱後壁
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 紅燈青燈伊老師那像攏總沒教
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會土腳歸會攏是一坑一缺
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝) 那會整個天頂是攏總全沙
(不曾看過這多的樓仔厝)

Concrete Jungle

I arrived here on a dirt-floored train
To see if what my neighbor Ar-tsai said was true
And see if it was really so famous
And if everyone drove a fancy car

The place was filled with noise from all around
And there were cars everywhere I went
If I wanted to cross the street, I had to do it with a group
Or else the drivers would honk at me

I wanted to go to Ximen and check it out
And see if the stuff there was cheap and good
I waited over two hours for a bus
And finally just took a taxi
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) Back home, the houses were all small and scattered
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) And the sky was so clear
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) And the sparrows flew all around
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) And the traffic lights were all ignored
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before)

Every street was filled with shoes and clothes
And one whole street was dedicated to making movies
I met some really nice people
Who took me by the hand and invited me in

I wanted to go to the East District and check it out
And see if everyone there was dressed to the nines
I waited forever for a bus that never came
And again, had to take a taxi

(I thought about it over and over) And saw the cars lined up, all out of breath
(I thought about it over and over) And saw the garbage strewn all over the streets
(I thought about it over and over) And wondered where all the birds had gone
(I thought about it over and over) And if this was really a place where people could live comfortably
(I thought about it over and over)

Everyone seemed to be having a good time
There were seventy or eighty stalls selling things on the side of the road
And then suddenly, they all disappeared
Because the police had come to arrest them
I wanted to go to the Shilin Night Market and check it out
I'd heard the food there was really good
I couldn't find the bus stop anywhere
And ended up paying two hundred and eighty dollars for a taxi

(I turned and turned again) And the taxi driver almost drove onto the median
(I turned and turned again) And I felt like I was living in a different century
(I turned and turned again) And I started to feel really bored
(I turned and turned again) And I realized that I would never get to eat all the food
(I turned and turned again)

The streets were so crowded, I couldn't see where I was going
There was this huge metal building
Selling everything from oyster omelets to steak, meat balls, cuttlefish, and shaved ice
And some kind of big cake wrapped in a small cake

(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) Back home, the houses were all small and scattered
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) And the sky was so clear
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) And the sparrows flew all around
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) And the traffic lights were all ignored
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) Back home, the houses were all small and scattered
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before) And the sky was so clear
(I'd never seen so many concrete buildings before)
