编曲：陈君豪、梁思桦

我不会耕田吃草 让人下注 I won’t enter the field to eat grass Allowing people to observe me
什么理由发明 什么叫马子 What kind of reasoning was created What is called ‘horse'(Chinese slang for a man’s ‘woman’)
难道是想让匹马 为你生个儿子 Don’t tell me its to let the horse give birth to a son for you

我没有兄弟聚会 那些幌子 I don’t have ‘bro meetings’ those kinds of guises
还可以煮好宵夜 当作没事 But yet I am able to cook supper pretending nothing ever happened
仔细想想 你就会知道 谁才是傻子 Thinking clearly You should know who is the real fool

我笑得柔软 心却比铁还钢 I smile softly but yet have a heart stronger than steel
世界男人称王 女人却什么都扛 The world calls men the kings but yet it is the woman who is carrying all the burdens

不要再说 要进厨房 能出厅堂 Don’t keep saying one needs to enter the kitchen and needs to be polite
不要再说 要会铺床 又能着床 Don’t keep saying you need to know how to make the bed and be good in it
这个世界 没有女人 该怎么办 Without women how would this world survive
你想 你想 You think about it You think

不要以为 西装革履 就是战袍 Don’t assume that a suit and tie is a suit of armour
不要以为 浴帽围裙 就是渺小 Don’t assume that a shower cap and apron is insignificant
信以为真 连续剧里的那一套 If you believe this to be true what the TV dramas are made out of
皇上 吉祥 简直可笑 Emperors Longevity It’s just ridiculous

我记得 你最喜欢哪双袜子 I remember which pair of socks you love the most
朋友聚会 演戏让你有面子 In friendly gatherings I act my part to give you face
难道我没有发现 你目测谁的SIZE As if I haven’t discovered you measuring someone else’s size (of their breasts)

我记得 女娲补天 岳母刺字 I remember the girl who mends the sky and the sandwich husband (google it!)
你只讲 少说多做 相夫教子 All you say is less talk and more work like a master teaching their student
仔细算算最值钱的 只是结婚戒指 Calculating which is most worth for the money its only the wedding ring itself

你可以抱我 重复爱我的台词 You can hug me and repeat the staged lines of you loving me
我不相信 你有放弃我的GUTS I don’t believe you have the guts to give me up
我无所谓女人就该是这样子 I’m nonchalant about it Girls should be this way
安静 该死 Quiet and should die

不要以为 西装革履 就是战袍 Don’t assume that a suit and tie is a suit of armour
不要以为 浴帽围裙 就是渺小 Don’t assume that a shower cap and apron is insignificant
信以为真 连续剧里的那一套 If you believe this to be true what the TV dramas are made out of
皇上 吉祥 简直荒唐 无聊 Emperors Longevity Completely absurd useless

荒唐 无聊 absurd useless
