Текст песни и перевод на английский Beyond - 半斤八兩

半斤八兩

我吔呢班打工仔
通街走糴直頭系壞腸胃
搵那些少到月底點夠洗(奀過鬼)
確係認真濕滯
最弊波士郁啲發威(癲過雞)
一味系處系唔系亂嚟吠
唉親加薪塊面拿起惡睇(扭嚇計)

你就認真開胃
半斤八兩
做到雙積咁嘅樣
半斤八兩
濕水炮仗點會響
半斤八兩
夠姜呀楂槍走去搶
出咗半斤力
想話洛番足八兩
家陣惡搵食
邊有半斤八兩咁理想(吹漲)
我吔呢班打工仔
一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
那種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼(死俾你睇)
咪話冇乜所謂

半斤八兩
就算有福都冇你享
半斤八兩
重慘過滾水淥豬腸
半斤八兩
雞碎咁多要啄
出咗半斤力
想話洛番足八兩
家陣惡搵食
邊有半斤八兩咁理想(吹漲)

半斤八兩
就算有福都冇你享
半斤八兩
重慘過滾水淥豬腸
半斤八兩
雞碎咁多要啄
出咗半斤力
想話洛番足八兩
家陣惡搵食
邊有半斤八兩咁理想

半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩

Half a Pound, Eight Ounces

Us working guys,
Running around, it's messing with our guts,
Earning so little, it's not enough by month's end (Pathetic!),
It's truly frustrating,
The worst is when the boss throws a fit (Crazy!),
Always barking and yelling for no reason,
Sighs, when it comes to raises, he gives us a dirty look (Plays tricks),

You're seriously appetizing,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Working till we're exhausted,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
A wet firecracker won't go off,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Daring enough to grab a gun and rob,
Put in half a pound of effort,
Wanting to get back a full eight ounces,
Times are tough,
Where's the ideal "half a pound, eight ounces" (Wishful thinking),
Us working guys,
Slaving away for money our whole lives,
That kind of hardship and misery is scary (I'll show you!),
Don't say it doesn't matter,

Half a pound, eight ounces,
Even if there's good fortune, you won't enjoy it,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Worse than boiling pig intestines,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Pecking at chicken feed,
Put in half a pound of effort,
Wanting to get back a full eight ounces,
Times are tough,
Where's the ideal "half a pound, eight ounces" (Wishful thinking),

Half a pound, eight ounces,
Even if there's good fortune, you won't enjoy it,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Worse than boiling pig intestines,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Pecking at chicken feed,
Put in half a pound of effort,
Wanting to get back a full eight ounces,
Times are tough,
Where's the ideal "half a pound, eight ounces",

Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
Half a pound, eight ounces,
