Текст и перевод песни 張學友 - 半斤八兩

半斤八兩

半斤八兩
半斤八兩
半斤八兩
我地呢班打工仔
通街走糴直頭係壞腸胃
搵個些少到月底點夠洗（奀過鬼）
確係認真濕滯

最弊波士郁Ｄ發威（癲過雞）
一味係處係唔係亂黎吠
嗡親加薪塊面拿起惡睇（扭下計）
你就認真開胃

半斤八兩 做到隻積咁既樣
半斤八兩 濕水炮仗點會響
半斤八兩 夠薑鎗走去搶

出左半斤力 想話羅番足八兩
家陣惡搵食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想（吹漲）

我地呢班打工仔
一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
個種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼（死俾你睇）
你就認真開胃

半斤八兩 做到隻積咁既樣
半斤八兩 濕水炮仗點會響
半斤八兩 雞碎咁多都要啄

出左半斤力 想話羅番足八兩
家陣惡搵食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想（吹漲）

我地呢班打工仔
一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
個種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼（死俾你睇）
咪話冇乜所謂
半斤八兩

Half a Catty, Eight Taels

Half a catty, eight taels
Half a catty, eight taels
Half a catty, eight taels
We working-class folks
Walking the streets hungry, it's really a pain
Earning a pittance, not enough to make ends meet (So pathetic)
It's really disheartening

Worst of all, the boss gets all up in our faces (Crazy as a chicken)
Always barking at us, is he barking mad?
Mention a raise and he gives us the evil eye (Makes excuses)
It's enough to make you sick

Half a catty, eight taels Looking like a loser
Half a catty, eight taels A damp firecracker, never going to pop
Half a catty, eight taels Got the guts, let's go rob a bank

Putting in half the effort Expecting a full eight taels
These days, making a living Ain't no half a catty, eight taels dream (Exaggerated)

We working-class folks
Slaving away for money all our lives
The hardship and humiliation are enough to scare the ghosts (Drop dead)
It's enough to make you sick

Half a catty, eight taels Looking like a loser
Half a catty, eight taels A damp firecracker, never going to pop
Half a catty, eight taels Even chicken feed we'll peck at

Putting in half the effort Expecting a full eight taels
These days, making a living Ain't no half a catty, eight taels dream (Exaggerated)

We working-class folks
Slaving away for money all our lives
The hardship and humiliation are enough to scare the ghosts (Drop dead)
Don't say it doesn't matter
Half a catty, eight taels
