Текст и перевод песни 阿牛 - 踩著三輪車賣菜的老阿伯

踩著三輪車賣菜的老阿伯

他从小巷里头转出来，
每天踩着三轮脚车去卖青菜。
十七岁踩到现在，
日子怎么不见苦尽甘来？
街上贴满英文字母的招牌，
他怎么看也看不明白。
就像年轻人难以理解的心态，
这个社会怎么越来越奇怪呀呀呀？
周围的车子怎么越跑越快？
周围的房子怎么也越起越快？
童年的足迹都轻易被取代，
他依然往前踩。
他只能然往前踩，
往前踩呀来来！
来来来，踩呀踩呀踩呀踩，
谁要买我的青菜？
来来来，踩呀踩呀踩呀踩，
就这样就踩掉了一个时代。
踩呀踩呀踩呀踩，
谁要买我的青菜？
来来来，踩呀踩呀踩呀踩，
踩向无知的未来。

An Old Man Selling Vegetables on a Tricycle

He emerges from the alley,
Riding his three-wheeled bike to sell vegetables every day.
He's been pedaling since he was seventeen,
But when will his hardships end?
The streets are lined with signs in English letters,
Which he doesn't understand.
Just like he can't comprehend the mindset of the youth,
This society is getting stranger and strange.
Why are the cars around him speeding up?
Why are the buildings rising higher and higher?
His childhood memories are easily replaced,
But he keeps pedaling.
He can only keep pedaling,
Pedaling forward, come on!
Come on, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal,
Who wants to buy my vegetables?
Come on, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal,
And just like that, an era is gone.
Pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal,
Who wants to buy my vegetables?
Come on, pedal, pedal, pedal, pedal,
Pedaling towards an unknown future.
