Lyrics & Translation

[Chinese]

[English]

我是誰

Who am I?

記得當年大鬧天宮 還用說

Remember the time I wrecked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, need I say more?

我喝醉

I'm drunk

犯了每個規條 從不會改過

Broke every rule, never changed my ways

雙眼裡只有自己

Only see myself in my eyes

有些惡意

A little malicious

有些暴力

A little violent

有點著急

A little anxious

惹了報應

Incurred retribution

如來隨意把我壓進五指山下後

After Buddha casually pressed me under the Five Finger Mountain

現在我有一千年修煉

Now I have a thousand years of cultivation

別想破我的陣 七十二變

Don't think you can break my formation, the seventy-two transformations

什麼凡人或靈魂或妖孽

What mortals, or spirits, or demons

不要阻止我看守著師父他的命

Don't stop me from guarding my master's life

我有一千年修煉

I have a thousand years of cultivation

別想破我的陣 七十二變

Don't think you can break my formation, the seventy-two transformations

什麼凡人或靈魂或妖孽

What mortals, or spirits, or demons

記得遇上我的時辰 不要太得意

Remember when you meet me, don't be too cocky

...

...

一路上無論何方妖魔出現都不怕

On the road, no matter what demons appear, I'm not afraid

別上當 聊齋 每一回能背 全都一樣

Don't be fooled. Every "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" episode, I can recite, they're all the same

我腦海四根清淨

My mind is pure and calm

有些正義

A little righteous

有些道理

A little reasonable

有點義氣

A little loyal

沒有忘記

Haven't forgotten

我的教訓 讓我看清應該怎麼做

My lessons let me see what I should do

現在我有一千年修煉

Now I have a thousand years of cultivation

別想破我的陣 七十二變

Don't think you can break my formation, the seventy-two transformations

什麼凡人或靈魂或妖孽

What mortals, or spirits, or demons

不要阻止我看守著師父他的命

Don't stop me from guarding my master's life

我有一千年修煉

I have a thousand years of cultivation

別想破我的陣 七十二變

Don't think you can break my formation, the seventy-two transformations

什麼凡人或靈魂或妖孽

What mortals, or spirits, or demons

記得遇上我的時辰 不要太得意

Remember when you meet me, don't be too cocky

西遊記 每一集都看過 每一部都很不錯

I've watched every episode of "Journey to the West," every version is pretty good

特別是周星馳和莫文蔚 誰和誰

Especially Stephen Chow and Karen Mok, who and who?

都曾經演過的 就是喜劇那幕

They've all played it, that comedy scene

就是那麼幽默 還有一個牛魔等著唐僧路過

That's the humor, and there's a Bull Demon King waiting for Tang Sanzang to pass by

我們的主角英雄還沒料到自己姓孫

Our hero hasn't realized his surname is Sun

他有些私人問題而且還未找到自尊

He has some personal issues and hasn't found his self-respect

無問題 他一定會找到一個月光寶盒

No problem, he'll definitely find a Moonlight Box

然後回到過去 就像傑倫八度空間的歌

Then go back to the past, like Jay Chou's "Fantasy" song

...

...

From which ever page you were on

From whichever page you were on

This is a whole new chapter

This is a whole new chapter

See I once was a King

See, I once was a King

Now I serve my master

Now I serve my master

My master is a master of self

My master is a master of self

He taught me how to master myself

He taught me how to master myself

My master is the servant of people

My master is the servant of people

Seeks to give strength to the feeble

Seeks to give strength to the feeble

It's gonna be a long long journey

It's gonna be a long long journey

But I'll protect him from evil

But I'll protect him from evil

Someday we'll find the wisdom

Someday we'll find the wisdom

One day we'll carry the light

One day we'll carry the light

When we return to the kingdom

When we return to the kingdom

Then we can end the fight

Then we can end the fight

Then all the people will know

Then all the people will know

After laying eyes on the scroll

After laying eyes on the scroll

Then all the people will know

Then all the people will know

Then all the people will know

Then all the people will know
