Текст и перевод песни 許冠傑 - 半斤八兩

半斤八兩

我o地呢班打工仔
通街走糴直頭係壞腸胃
搵o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o係處係唔係亂o黎吠
嗡親加薪塊面挪起惡睇〔扭o下計〕
你就認真開胃
半斤八兩 做到隻積咁o既樣
半斤八兩 濕水炮仗點會響
半斤八兩 夠薑呀揸支鎗走去搶
出o左半斤力 想話攞番足八兩
家陣惡搵食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想〔吹漲〕
我o地呢班打工仔
一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
O個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 慘過滾水淥豬腸
半斤八兩 雞碎咁多都要啄
出o左半斤力 想話攞番足八兩
家陣惡搵食 邊有半斤八兩咁理想〔吹漲〕
我o地呢班打工仔
一生一世為錢幣做奴隸
O個種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼〔死俾你睇〕
咪話冇乜所謂

Half a Catty Eight Taels

Us wage earners
Roam the streets hungry, our stomachs aching constantly
The little we earn is gone by the end of the month, not enough to live on
It's really a drag
Worst of all, the boss gets angry at the slightest thing
Yelling at us for no reason
When we ask for a raise, he gives us a dirty look
It really makes you lose your appetite
Half a catty, eight taels Working hard like a dog
Half a catty, eight taels A damp firecracker won't go off
Half a catty, eight taels> Got the guts, grab a gun and go rob
Put in half a catty of effort Expecting to get eight taels in return
Nowadays it's hard to find a job It's not as easy as half a catty, eight taels
Us wage earners
Slaves to money all our lives
The hardship and degradation are unbearable
Don't say it doesn't matter
Half a catty, eight taels Even if you're lucky, you won't enjoy it
Half a catty, eight taels Worse than a pig's intestine scalded in boiling water
Half a catty, eight taels Even small scraps of food must be picked up
Put in half a catty of effort Expecting to get eight taels in return
Nowadays it's hard to find a job It's not as easy as half a catty, eight taels
Us wage earners
Slaves to money all our lives
The hardship and degradation are unbearable
Don't say it doesn't matter
