老媽子之歌 - The Mom Song

有沒有想過將媽媽24小時內所說的嚕囌, 濃縮為2分55秒唱出來是怎樣的呢?!


近日YouTube上十分盛行這首由Anita Renfroe 唱的"老媽子之歌"。 內容十分精彩和惹笑!相信無論你是為人父母或是子女的也可捧腹大笑! 這首音樂是羅西尼(Gioachino Rossini)的歌劇William Tell 的序曲。


老媽子之歌
中文歌詞 by sidekick


拿拿臨,拿拿臨,同我彈起身
洗個面,刷個牙,要梳好個頭
快換衫快著鞋,仲要我講?
彈起身!即刻摺好被

又唔暈,又唔熱,又會著到咁?
執書包午餐盒要功課帶齊
著外套戴手套掛圍巾戴帽
仲要記得!你要餵貓仔

日日食個早餐,專家話齋呢餐係要好注重
跟手食d 維他命咁你仲好快會大個
要記得今日約o左下晝三點鐘要去驗牙
仲要記得之後要速速去上鋼琴課

要o趙爛,先吞o野
要爽快,巴士等緊你
小心d,睇真o下
你洗乾淨個耳背未?

人還人,情還情,平至o岩聽 
求良朋,毋忘情,要分享好o野 
出o黎行,預o左還,世事會轉彎
要醒d!小心影衰我

執好房,擺好o野,摺好你o的衫
舖好床,做o野啦,唔好懶懶閒
你間房,似個竇,咪扮聾耳陳
再唔聽,我就會炳你!

電話傾好就要收線
咪坐暖凳,閂機啦,你msn到黐筋
冇得上網直至凌晨
你試o下 部ipod 就俾我沒收喇

你要去hea去玩去邊又諗住幾點先返歸呀?
要道謝,唔該,SA冧
禮多人不怪係有效o架

你第日會多謝我當你變o左一個麻甩佬
變做人老公再又生o左一竇細路
你會道謝我似嫦娥我日哦兼夜又哦
但呢一刻,我希望 你咪再咁樣啤住我

我要你,吔o野時,要合埋口
就算你,不喜歡,要俾面咬啖
揸好叉,坐好d,咪打思噎
我夾乜 你都要食o左佢

拎個A,醒目d,咪再懶醒
準備好,出發啦,我數三聲喇
搵份工,搵到錢,攞個PHD
仲要攞

點講都好
你仲係我o既直至你三張幾
規規矩矩做事快趣老老實實就冇衰

如果 你班friend 走去跳海,你跳埋去?
我一早講o左 九千幾次 咪癲到咁勻循
呀!你 經已一張幾
咪話係你老竇教壞你

我講o野要望實我
做錯要認,打要企定
世間事如此 如此就係世間
你再喊我就炳到你阿媽都唔認得

哼!
刷刷刷 牙牙牙 換套睡衣
乖乖o地 上去瞓 要晚禱
要記得 愛你的

然後 明日我o地又再o黎過
你媽份工係從來冇停過
你不需要知道真相

原因 簡單 簡單 不過
我講晒 我講晒 我講晒 我話事
你媽媽,媽媽,媽媽,媽媽,媽媽!!
係咁!




"The Mom Song" (Lyrics)

Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepyhead
Here's your clothes and your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now! Get up and make your bed
Are you hot? Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget! You gotta feed the cat
Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 today
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play
Don't shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair?
Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share
Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare
Get along! Don't make me come down there
Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away
Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay?
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone! Get off the phone!
Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the table
No more computer time tonight!
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up
Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait till you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate
Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate
Use your fork, do not burp or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, get the door, don't get smart with me
Get a grip, get in here, I'll count to three
Get a job, get a life, get a PHD
Get a dose of,
"I don't care who started it!
You're grounded until you're 36"
Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?
If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before
That you're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straighter when you walk
A place for everything and everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs on
Get in bed, get up here, say a prayer with mom
Don't forget, I love you
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because, because, because, because
I said so, I said so, I said so, I said so
I'm the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!!
Ta da!!!

聲聲慢 黃永熙曲

聲聲慢 黃永熙


“聲聲慢”是香港作曲家黃永熙博士的作品,它旋律優美,音樂色彩豐富, 是建立在一個小調上﹐好宣洩此帶著濃厚哀怨情愁的詞句。

它是宋代詞家李清照名作之一,李清照(1084-約1151)﹕南宋女詞人。號易安居士,齊州章丘(今屬山東)人。父李格非為當時著名學者,夫趙明誠為金石考據家。早期生活優裕,與明誠共同致力於書畫金石的搜集整理。金兵入據中原,流寓南方,明誠病死,境遇孤苦。所作詞,前期多寫其悠閒生活,後期多悲嘆身世,情調感傷,有的也流露出對中原的懷念。

李清照一些感人詞句:

「花自飄零水自流,一種相思,兩處閒愁。此情無計可消除,纔下眉頭,卻上心頭。」

「物是人非事事休,欲語淚先流!聞說雙溪春尚好,也擬泛輕舟;只恐雙溪舴艋舟,載不動許多愁!」

「尋尋覓覓,冷冷清清,悽悽慘慘戚戚,乍暖還寒時候,最難將息。」........

“聲聲慢”原詞:

越南之旅




今次去了越南五天, 除了吃喝玩樂, 一些景點也很藉得介紹:

胡志明市曾經名為「Saigon」,跟香港的西貢同名,直至1975年,北越勝出戰爭,就把「Saigon」改名為「胡志明市」,以紀念政權建立者胡志明,而今日的「Saigon」,就代表胡志明市的第一區。

法國殖民時代,首都就設在胡志明市,除卻地標聖母院、郵政局外,遊客可從劇院開始,沿著Dong Khoi,可看到盡是歐式建築,雖已改建成酒店,但仍具氣派,刪除了畫面上過多的電單車,還以為自己到了法國。而近年的胡志明市卻有日本入侵之勢,說的是日本遊客,他們視這裡為東南亞家具雜貨,冒著汗在街市講價。若然要找當地設計師的貨品,這裡依然又平又實惠,怪不得人人都飛來掃貨購物。這裡還少不了地道美食,牛河平得叫人連吃幾碗,大頭蝦亦可點上數隻,令人口腹盡興的地方。




 古芝位於胡志明市西北約70公里處,越南人在當年選擇了這片地質堅硬,又有叢林做掩護的古芝,做為他們的復興基地,白天大家在地表上做普通的農民,晚上將鋤頭帶進地下變身為革命鬥士,花了20年的時間,挖了共200公里。地下四通八達,共分三層,有廚房、臥室、會議室、司令部、醫院、水井等設施。三層的地道,越到下面越窄、越熱、越溼,除了原本生長在地下的動物,真的很難想像,人要怎麼活在這裡。
越南人體型嬌小,挖出來的地道當然只適合他們的體型,西方大漢是絕對無法順利通行的,開放給一般遊客所走的地道已經拓寬,真正的地道其實更狹小,一般遊客無法到達的第2層與第3層,第2層的高度與寬度尚能接受,只要彎腰半蹲仍能行走,但下到第三層之後,不但空氣變得稀薄、黏溼,172公分的我,即便半蹲也窒礙難行,肩膀經常會撞到牆壁,某些地方則必須完全蹲下才能移動,走完短短的50公尺,就好像跑完5000公尺一樣,汗流浹背,狼狽至極。
從抗法到抗美,古芝從沒有被攻下過,似乎是越南人在長久的戰爭歷史中,唯一能夠展示他們自信的地方,就好像當年台灣向老外國展示金門堅固的花崗岩碉堡一樣。「濃密的叢林、陰濕的地道中機關、陷阱重重,被搞瘋的老美不在少數」解說員自豪且愉快的說著,「不被搞瘋才有鬼」 我邊拍打著滿身的泥土,頻頻點頭。

戰爭博物「戰爭博物館」─從前叫做美軍暴行紀念館,裡頭展示著越戰期間美軍使用的各種坦克、大砲、槍枝、化學武器,以及美國人對越南人民施暴的照片。掛在陳列室中醒目處的一張相片,訴說著當年血淋淋的歷史,相片中握住越南人半截屍體做出得意表情的士兵,絕對想不到他的相片今日會被陳列在胡志明市戰爭博物館當中,陳述著當年美國迫害越南的史實。
