Zero to Hero - eng tran

Zero to Hero
By David Tao


I almost cannot breathe, the tram is too crowded
I smell poisonous gas, did someone farted?
Hurrying like an ant, no time to drink coffee
Every day there are eight meetings
Lean against the toilet bowl to have a rest

I and you, we are the same, like fools
I want to chase, I want to fly
Super Phoenix plane ready to leave

From Zero to Hero, to the demon I say no
I am my own Hero
Do you have any objection?
I am not your fried egg sushi
I want to chase, ready to fly, I am Superhero

Sea urchin, tuna, pollack, toro

Finally, it's almost time to leave work
My headache is about to explode
Dear colleague, how about a meal together?
Boss issues command, tonight is overtime
The date is cancelled, sleep on the street again?

From Zero to Hero, to the demon I say no
I am my own Hero
Do you have any objection?
I am not your fried egg sushi
I want to chase, ready to fly, I am Superhero

Fried egg, BB bullet, deep water bullet, space bullet, black egg

Yin Yang Ren: Hahahahahahaha, I will let you see my power
Hero: How evil, prepare to launch blue laser beam!
Yin Yang Ren: Hahahahahahaha, it's no use, you cannot escape
Hero: Hmph! I will let you see the power of my phoenix plane, change!


From Zero to Hero, to the demon I say no
I am my own Hero
Do you have any objection?
I am not your fried egg sushi
I want to chase, ready to fly, I am Superhero

Please note this is a very rough translation but just to satisfied those chinese challenged ppl hee! I love the nonsensical lyrics which actually, if you think about it, have a lot of meaning. I love the way he mixes the chinese sound of egg to the chinese sound of bullet, both of which are 'tan'. I just love love love the song. I am so glad he released this as his first single cos I remember he wanted to release My Anata as his first single for Black Tangerine. DT, you rock!
