十蚊雞流浪記 - 古巨基 перевод на английский

十蚊雞流浪記

他把我亂拋於報辛的臉上
十蚊雞買到 人間千百相
他只看著每段財經的現象
恆指可會上銀包可會漲

然後 他將世界要聞放在地上
忽視我換到眼界的雪亮
人類 很愛帶我去投注站幻想
難道我只配 令錢再 澎漲

一位女士怕令錢袋細負累
十蚊雞太重 拿給乞丐去
這乞丐換到食物徬佛玩具
麵包那麼脆 逐粒擺肚裡

其實 畢竟我會救人免人受罪
可令拾荒者吃飽進睡
其實 濕碎似我價值看落在誰
如實際需要 誰驚我零碎

仍然難明是到過年時
以我當禮品 會俴到人人
嫌為何吝嗇得敢將我獻世
極貪心 全部恨美金

今天我讓主人在機鋪玩樂
恨他只有這 唯一的寄託
改天我為某段情占卜下落
願她可發覺 情感的線索

誰亦 可倚靠我去忘記會寂寞
可是我未必會買到快樂
誰又想擴闊我帶來狹窄目光
無限個的我 無非變 幻覺

我價值 大細都因你
太迷我 你只跟我至死
我偉大 令世間景氣
我罪惡 在催生了劫匪

你安心 我可幫到你
你貪心 我可主宰你
你好心 我可細捐去 救天地
(但願別為我憂 別獨獨為我喜)

其實我不過 是一塊 行李 (Money money)
足夠 便足以 忘記 (Money money)
Money 和生命怎比

A Ten Dollar Note's Odyssey

He threw me carelessly on the financial news
Ten bucks bought me a thousand human faces
He only gazed at the business trends
Will the Hang Seng rise, will wallets swell?

He left the world news on the floor
Ignoring me, a window to the world
Humans are so fond of taking me to betting shops
Am I destined to just inflate money?

A lady feared I'd weigh down her purse
Ten bucks too heavy, she gave me to a beggar
The beggar traded me for food, like a toy
Bread so crispy, every bite a delight

In truth, I can save people from suffering
I can feed and shelter the homeless
In truth, my value depends on who holds me
If needed, who cares if I'm torn or crumpled?

Still puzzled, when the New Year came
I was a gift, delightful to everyone
Why be stingy, why not give me away?
So greedy, all you desire is the almighty dollar

Today, I let my owner gamble away
He has no other joy, so I let him be
Tomorrow, I'll tell someone's fortune
I hope she finds her love

Anyone can lean on me to forget their loneliness
But I don't guarantee happiness
Who wants to broaden their horizons when I offer a narrow view?
Countless versions of me, nothing but illusions

My worth depends on you
Obsess over me, and you'll be with me till the end
I'm great, I boost the economy
I'm evil, I breed thieves

Rest assured, I can help you
Be greedy, and I'll control you
Be kind, and I'll help you save the world
(But please, don't worry about me, don't be sad or overjoyed)

In truth, I'm just a piece of paper (Money money)
If you have enough, that's enough (Money money)
Money can't compare to life
