《半斤八兩》的翻譯歌詞如下:
英文版:
Seven o'clock in the morning, already feeling sluggish.
Stuck in traffic, can't get nowhere fast.
So much to do, so little time, I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Then I realize, it's all in my head.
Chorus:
Half a day to kill, got bills to pay.
Got a boss who drives me crazy, he won't go away.
Half a day to kill, got troubles at work.
Got a life, but I don't know where to start.
國語版:
早晨七點的時分, 已經開始混混沌沌。
堵在路上,無法前進, 無法找到任何地方。
有太多事情要做, 太少時間, 我感到被淹沒。
然後我明白, 這一切都在我的頭腦中。
副歌:
半天時間消磨,有賬單要付。
有個老闆讓我著迷, 他不會離開。
半天時間消磨,有工作上的麻煩。
我有生活,但我不知道從哪裡開始。
