Hongshao rou
Braised fatty meat
You ren xhuan, you ren shou “No!”
Some people like it, some say “No!”
Wo, wo ri’ai hongshao rou
I love me some braised fatty beef
Ye bie wan le he xiao jiu
And don’t forget to drink a little liquor
Yi bei, yi bei he zui lou
Cup by cup we all get drunk
Oh, tiaowu tiao dao da tian liang
Dance til the break of day
Ta tiao de xiang ge feng poniang
She dances like a crazy mother in law
Ta zhen niu
She’s freakin' crazy
Ta qinkaui de yaoming you
She plays that thing like she’s starting a revolution
Yi bei, yi bei he zui lou
Cup by cup we all get drunk
Xiang zheyang zenme huoxia qu
Living like this, how can we go on?
Jinzhao he jiu jinzhao zui
Today we drink, today we're wasted
Hongshao rou wan sui
Long live braised fatty meat! |
