Erroneous Lyrics
What I want most is to write a song about myself
Being called a singer-songwriter sounds so cool
I’m actually serious, but I fall asleep whenever I start writing
Honestly, I’m so jealous of those English songs
There’s no fear of getting the tones wrong no matter how you write them
Just go for “baby, baby, baby”
And there you have a song
There’re nine tones in Cantonese
– it’s easy to match a wrong one to the melody
You have to be careful when you sing “seven, eight, nine”
It’s easy to sing this line wrong
Which tone should I put here?
Where did you go, what have you done?
It’s better to write the hook in English
It’d be easy for people to sing and remember, so it’d be perfect anyway
It’s so annoying that Cantonese has a formal form and a colloquial form
But we’re just not used to filling the whole song with colloquialisms
The grammar’s not simple
Even if you write well, no one will praise you
I’ve tried sitting through the night just to write one song
If I were more hot-blooded and wrote about social issues, I would gain more likes
Everyone thinks love songs are lame
But aren’t they all used to them?
There’re nine tones in Cantonese – it’s easy to match a wrong one to the melody
You have to be careful when you sing “seven, eight, nine”
Remember not to match the wrong syllable
Which tone should I put here?
I can’t take it anymore, I’ll write in Mandarin now
So refined and so cultured
Everyone loves Taiwanese chicks, so it’d be perfect anyway
Should I use Cantonese? It’s too indecent!
The current Chinese style can’t stand archaisms
If I write about love, it’s bound to get cheesy
Chinese is just so corny
Whatever, let it be
Mr. Lyricist, colour me impressed
Not my fault if I can’t write lyrics, blame Cantonese
Not my fault if I can’t write lyrics, blame Cantonese
"I don't even know what today's songs are about!"
"Bad, bad, bad!"

原始歌词 (Chinese, Chinese (Cantonese), English)
差词 [Cantopopsibility]
最想写一首讲自己嘅歌
唱作歌手呢一个名型㖞
其实我认真 不过写亲都瞓
其实好羡慕果啲英文歌
就算点写都不怕音填错
求其 baby baby baby
咁就一首歌
粤语有九声容易拗音
唱七八九要好小心
呢句容易错音
填邓凳定灯等
Where did you go what have you done
Hookline 最好填英文
反正人人易唱易记一样完美
粤语分书面口语好麻烦
用哂啲口语又好似好唔惯
文法唔简单
写得好又无人赞
试过写一首歌坐左成晚
热血啲写关心社会赢赞
人人嫌情歌写烂
明明系听惯
粤语有九声容易拗音
唱七八九要好小心
谨记唔填错音
填邓凳定灯等
填不到啦填普通话
又典雅又大中华
反正人人热爱台妹一样完美
用粤语吗太粗鄙啦
中国风好怕之乎者也
写爱情又易老土
中文特别肉麻
是但啦算数啦
写词先生 我服咗你啦
不会填词唔系我差 系广东话
不会填词唔系我差 系广东话
「都唔知而家啲歌噏乜！」
「差差差！」
