Cockney Girl


詞曲:王力宏
Music and Lyrics by Leehom Wang

I went out for the night with four mates
This story happened in London
On Saturday yeah, in the club yeah, everyone was high
Suddenly a cute BBC
Unhesitatingly pulled me into the crowd of dancers
Two peoples’ bodies pressed together, that’s when I heard her voice

Cockney Chinese

Cockney Girl  I like your accent
Cockney Girl  special intonation~oh
Cockney Girl  I’ll buy you a drink
Cockney Girl ~ Oh ~ Cockney Girl

Cockney Girl  I like your accent
Cockney Girl  special intonation~oh
Cockney Girl  Such mysterious rhythm
Cockney Girl dance with me now

Cockney Girl (Dance with me now)

I’ve heard Taiwan Mandarin, Guangdong Mandarin, Beijing speech and southern Mandarin
Of course there’s also ABC Mandarin, the whole world is industriously studying Mandarin

I had thought I’d heard it all before but I finally discovered a British girl dancer
Decided to write a song especially for her, to record our magical encounter

Cockney Chinese

Cockney Girl  I like your accent
Cockney Girl  special intonation~oh
Cockney Girl  I’ll buy you a drink
Cockney Girl ~ oh ~ Cockney Girl

Cockney Girl  I like your accent
Cockney Girl  special intonation~oh
Cockney Girl  Such mysterious rhythm
Cockney Girl dance with me now

Cockney Girl (Dance with me now)

Want to chase it but can’t catch it, music is my breath
Don’t over think it, it’s naturally in my body
Is this the 13th album, unbelievable
Only afraid it there is too much inspiration there’s no time to record it all
Top quality, at the same time new before your ears and eyes
Taking me from New York to Urumqi
From Beijing opera, Kun opera, to London Cockney
Some people can only repeat themselves but not me
Stop me if I’m too forceful
But you dance so well it's murderous
Body drives on the whole party
Until six in the morning it won’t stop
Can’t curb my passions, I’ll let you, C’mon open up your heart
It turns out London girls have their own Chinese accent
Whisper a few more things in my ear, you know I absolutely love to hear Cockney Chinese

我出門兒了 載四個哥兒們
這次的故事 發生在倫敦
星期六Yeah, in the club yeah 所有人正High
突然一名 可愛BBC
毫不猶豫拉我進舞群裡
兩個身體 多麼貼近 我才聽見他的聲音

Cockney 中文

Cockney Girl 喜歡你的腔調
Cockney Girl 特殊的口條~
Cockney Girl 請你喝個飲料
Cockney Girl ~ Oh ~ Cockney Girl

Cockney Girl 喜歡你的腔調
Cockney Girl 特殊的口條~
Cockney Girl 多神秘的韻腳
Cockney Girl dance with me now

Cockney Girl (Dance with me now)

我聽過台灣國語 廣東國語 北京話兒 還有 南方國語
當然也有ABC國語 全世界都努力學國語

以為什麼都聽過但終於 發現了一位英國舞女
決定了特別為他寫首曲 紀錄我們這神奇的巧遇

Cockney 中文

Cockney Girl 喜歡你的腔調
Cockney Girl 特殊的口條~
Cockney Girl 請你喝個飲料
Cockney Girl ~ Oh ~ Cockney Girl

Cockney Girl 喜歡你的腔調
Cockney Girl 特殊的口條~
Cockney Girl 多神秘的韻腳
Cockney Girl dance with me now

Cockney Girl (Dance with me now)

想追也追不到 音樂是我的呼吸
不用想太多 它自然在我身體裡
是不是第13張專輯不可思議
只怕靈感太多來不及記
優質 同時耳目一新
帶你從紐約到烏魯木齊
從京劇崑曲現在到倫敦Cockney
有些人只會重複自己但是not me
Stop me 如果我太大力
但你跳得好有殺氣
Body 帶動整個party
一直到凌晨六點都不會停
情不自禁 任你行 C'mon 放開你的心
London的美眉原來也有你們的漢語口音
在我的耳邊跟我多說幾句 你知道我一定愛聽Cockney 中文

Notes:  A "BBC" is a British Born Chinese, just as an "ABC" is an American Born Chinese.  This song is full of repeated lines from Leehom's other songs (a bit odd in light of the "Some people repeat themselves but not me").  The opening line comes from the song "Heroes of the Earth (蓋世英雄);"  the New York/Urumqi line is from "Love, Love, Love."  "Open up your heart (放開你的心)" and  "Unbelievable (不可思議)" are both song titles from previous Leehom albums.  The line "the whole world is industriously studying Chinese" is an odd repeat of a line from a song by S.H.E called "Chinese Language (中國話)" - I'm unclear on whether that repetition was intentional (i.e. as an inside reference) or an oversight.  On the line, "is this the 13th album, unbelievable" - well, it is a bit unbelievable.  And not least of all because Change Me is actually Leehom's twelfth album.
