Lyrics:

[中文]

[English]

你說我繞舌不好聽 唸來唸去就像唸經

You say my fast tongue isn’t pleasant to hear, mumbling over and over like reciting scriptures.

批判我的歌詞太過用力 總是讓人生氣

Criticizing my lyrics as too forceful, always making people angry.

你最愛看電視節目裡 歌手拼了命爭冠軍

You love watching TV shows where singers fight desperately for the championship.

唱到呼天搶地 到處青筋 而你才開心

Singing till they cry out to the sky, veins bulging everywhere, and you’re just happy.

所以我今天穿的西裝筆挺

So today I’m dressed sharp in a suit.

拿著麥克風 唱這首歌給你

Holding the microphone, singing this song just for you.

...

...

現在我要飆高音

Now I’m going to hit the high note.

飆到打雷下雨 再來個轉音

Screaming till thunder and rain, then hitting a falsetto.

只要你能開心 就算飆到脫肛我也願意

As long as it makes you happy, I’d even be willing to push my voice to the limit.

因為你我飆高音

Because I’m hitting the high notes for you.

就連香港阿棋都為我嘆息

Even Hong Kong’s Ah Chi sighs for me.

就連馬國小茜都對我say sorry

Even Malaysia's Xiao Qian says sorry to me.

觀眾都在哭泣

The audience is crying.

轉音

Switching to a falsetto.

...

...

假音

Vocal fry.

你說我繞舌不好聽 唸來唸去就像唸經

You say my tongue-twisting isn’t nice to listen to, mumbling over and over like reciting scriptures.

批判我的歌詞太過用力 總是讓人生氣

Criticizing my lyrics as too forceful, always making people angry.
