Lyrics & Translation

[English]
When you concentrate,
You stink.
But perhaps that is my fault. I cannot train you the way I have trained the five.
And I see that the way to get through to you is with this.
Oh great, coz I'm hungry
Good. When you have been trained, you ate.
Let's begin.
After you panda.
Just like that?
No sit-ups. No, no, no, no, no ten-mile hike.
I vowed to train you and you have been trained.
You are free to eat.
Enjoy.
Hey.
I said you are free to eat. Have a dumpling.
Hey?
You are free to eat.
Am I?
Are you?
