爸爸说我出世在六十年代
My father said I was born in the 1960s
一岁多国家才算诞生出来
The nation came into being when I was about a year old plus
那时候没人相信新加坡牌
At that time no one believed in the Singapore brand
还有人移民海外
Some even migrated overseas
旧家的戏院建在六十年代
The theatre near my old home was built in the 1960s
我钻在人群里看明星剪彩
I squeezed through the crowd to watch the stars at the opening ceremony
那时候粤语片是一片黑白
Cantonese (Hong Kong) films then were all in black and white
有些来新加坡拍
And some of them filmed in Singapore
Singapore gained independence on 9 August 1965, which is the day for our annual National Day celebrations
渐渐地我们进入七十年代
Slowly we entered the 1970s
一穿上校服我就神气起来
As I put on my school uniform I looked smart and impressive
裕廊镇烟窗个个有气派
All the smoke funnels in Jurong stood tall and in style
比我长高得更快
Growing taller and taller faster than I
那时候林青霞的电影最卖
Brigitte Lin’s movies were the most popular then
凤飞飞抒情歌曲全班都爱
And Fong Fei-fei’s love songs were well loved by everyone in class
孙宝玲赢了一串金牌回来
Junie Sng won a series of gold medals for Singapore
我一夜兴奋难捺
Making me extremely excited throughout the night
当我们不觉到了八十年代
As we unkowingly entered the 1980s
地铁将这个传奇讲得更快
The emergence of the MRT sped up the story even faster
大家都忽然要向自己交代
All of a sudden everyone had to take responsibility for himself
将新谣唱起来
And it was the year that Xinyao began
我们已搬家住得舒服自在
We then moved into a comfortable new home
旧戏院变成教堂做礼拜
After that the old theatre was turned into a church
有时我独自回到旧地感怀
Sometimes I would visit the old place alone with nostalgia
惦记那昔日小孩
Trying to recollect my childhood days of yesteryear
Click on me!
Click on me!
Click on me!
Singapore's MRT first began its operations on 7 November 1987
朋友们说我越活越不赖
My friends said my life was getting better and better
像岛国一样实在
In exactly the same way as the country
到底是它给了我胸怀
Did the country give me the breadth of vision
还是我给了它爱?
Or I gave the country my love?
一晃眼已经来到九十年代
In the blink of an eye we came to the 1990s
爸爸你再唱一遍往日情怀
Father please sing again that sentimental song of the days of yore
我们的故事我们自己记载
Our stories we’ll record them by ourselves
未来就看下一代
The future lies in the hands of the next generation
别人将苹果派都送过来
Since other people have sent over their pies
我们也可以创造新加坡派
We can also create our own Singapore pie
现在是别人纷纷移民前来
Now is the turn for other people to migrate here
谁不爱新加坡牌
Who does not love the Singapore brand?
I like it Singapore Pie
我最爱新加坡派
I most like the Singapore brand!
