The song is sung in Cantonese. Many words are very hard to translate due to the nonsense nature of the song. Even my Cantonese friends says that it can’t be directly translated. I tried to translated it the best I can at the bottom, don’t take it as being 100% correct. This is a nonsense song for fun only. Learn the words for what it is with the Vocabulary list èƒåŠ ç¦ç¥¿å£½æŽ¢æ¡ˆ ç„¡èŠåˆå”±åœ˜. The definition and Mandarin pingying are in Traditional Chinese (I don’t know of a Cantonese translator). Download, enjoy and learn.

Song #2: èƒåŠ ç¦ç¥¿å£½æŽ¢æ¡ˆ-ç„¡èŠåˆå”±åœ˜
懸懸居居去買麵
(懸懸居居, not 100% what this means, I think it means dumb) dumbly I go to buy noodles
è²·ç€å€‹è¦å麵
bought a shrimp noodle
媽媽沖谅, 爸爸耕田
mama’s takes a (æ²–è°…) bath/shower, Papa tills the fields
由我去買麵
so it’s up to me to go buy the noodles
çˆºçˆºå¤±çœ å°±é–‹é¢¨æ‰‡
grandpa has insomnia and goes to turn on the fan
但係冇晒電
but there’s no electricity left
我最節儉用èŠè•‰æ‰‡ä¾†æ’¥é¢
I am the most frugal I use a palm-leaf fan to fan my face
三å”公佢回é 鬧我
3rd great uncle turns back to scold me
ä¹œä½ å’曵未去買麵
why you naughty and not gone to buy the noodles
