半斤八兩 (gun Gan Baat Loeng) Lyrics - Samuel Hui

Verse-1: 

我地呢班打工仔 

ngo5 dei6 ni1 baan1 daa2 gung1 zai2 

We are poor working people 

通街走糴直頭係壞腸胃 

tung1 gaai1 zau2 dek6 zik6 tau4 hai6 waai6 coeng4 wai6 

Getting ulcers, running around 

搵個些少到月底點夠洗（奀過鬼） 

wan2 go3 se1-siu2 dou3 jyut6 dai2 dim2 gau3 sai2 (ngan1 gwo3 gwai2) 

Chicken feed is our reward 

確係認真濕滯 

kok3 hai6 jing6 zan1 sap1 zai6 

Round deal is what we get

最弊波士郁啲發威（癲過雞） 

zeoi3 bai6 bo1 si6*2 juk1 di1 faat3 wai1 （din1 gwo3 gai1） 

The boss is ever ready to explode 

一味喺處係唔係就亂嚟吠 

jat1 mei6 hai2 syu3 hai6 m4 hai6 zau6 lyun6 lai4 fai6 

His barks are long, his face longer 

翳親加薪塊面嗱起惡睇（扭下計） 

ai3 can1 gaa1 san1 faai3 min6 naa4 hei2 ok3 tai2 （nau2 haa5 gai3） 

When we ask for a raise 

你就認真開胃 

nei5 zau6 jing6 zan1 hoi1 wai6 

Brother, you're in a treat 

Chorus: 

（半斤八兩）做到隻積咁嘅樣 

(bun3 gan1 baat3 loeng2) 

... zou6 dou3 zek3 zik1 gam3 ge3 joeng6

... Things keep on going wrong 

（半斤八兩）夠薑呀，楂鎗走去搶 

... gau3 goeng1 aa3, zaa1 coeng1 zau2 heoi3 coeng2 

... Why don't we grab a gun and hold 'em up? 

(* coda of Chorus-1) 

出咗半斤力，想話囉番足八兩 

ceot1 zo2 bun3 gan1 lik6, soeng2 waa6 lo4 faan1 zuk1 baat3 g?/loeng2 

At least making our effort worthwhile 

家陣惡搵食，邊有半斤八兩咁理想（吹漲） 

gaa1 zan6 ok3 wan2 sik6, bin1 jau5 bun3 gan1 baat3 loeng2 gam3 lei5 soeng2（ceoi1 zoeng3） 

It's tit for tat, tat for tit 

(Verse3) 

我地呢班打工仔 

ngo5 dei6 ni1 baan1 daa2 gung1 zai2 

We are poor working people 

一生一世為錢幣做奴隸 

jat1 sang1 jat1 sai3 wai4 cin4*2 bai6 zou6 nou4 dai6 

Slaves to money for life 

個種辛苦折墮講出嚇鬼（死俾你睇） 

go3 zung2 san1 fu2 zit3 do6 gong2 ceot1 haak3 gwai2 （sei2 bei2 nei5 tai2） 

Our misery, it's unspeakable 

咪話冇乜所謂 

mai6 waa6 mou5 mat1 so2 wai6 

The burden, unbearable 

First time Instrumental 

Second time Fine 

(Chorus-2) 

（半斤八兩）就算有福都冇你享 

(bun3 gan1 baat3 loeng2) 

... zau6 syun3 jau5 fuk1 dou1 mou5 nei5 hoeng2 

... Happiness is not ours to share 

（半斤八兩）重慘過滾水淥豬腸 

... zung6 caam2 gwo3 gwan2 seoi2 luk6 zyu1 coeng4 

... Sufferings are ours to bear 

（半斤八兩）雞碎咁多都要啄 

... gai1 seoi3 gam3 do1 dou1 jiu3 doek3 

... A little more is a little more, we care
