Dialect 方言 (feat. 二七27)

I'm gonna tell you a story now I'm gonna begin

Back in Liverpool summertime learning pinyin

I was hanging out in KTV trying to fit in

Sipping on my Qingdao, singing songs in Mandarin

They all told me 普通话 is all I needed to know

So I knuckled down, studied hard, 努力，加油

Then took a 飞机, landed in 重庆中国

I was buzzing I was flying high ready to go

And then what?

What's this sound?

There's something wrong

我听不懂

They're speaking 方言

Everybody's speaking 方言

Everywhere I go they're always speaking 方言

So things got complicated quickly I was nervous at first

Cos I was in this middle kingdom trying hard to converse

But unable to cos no one understood a word

That I was trying to say in my own way

I was looking absurd

But something happened suddenly I did not expect

A stranger welcomed me like family showed me respect

He gestured come on in and so I pulled up a chair

Then we started hanging out and travelled everywhere

He said what?

What's that sound?

It's something new

I haven't a clue

They're speaking 方言

Everybody's speaking 方言

我怎么听得懂

他们说的都是方言

川渝音 闽粤语 你不懂不怪你

东西峰 南北地 方言独特是印记

Uh 外地听到就会感觉亲切

即使毫不相干感情也会主动倾泄

当我满腔热血 独自出门闯荡

说着家乡方言 交流得靠想象

因为 不同地方有着不同语言

虽有不同的文化但有同样的起源

方言诞生于我们的生活

不一样的地方不一样的腔调

它早已成为我们习惯

即使身处他乡也会有老乡对你关照

重庆闹热 好客 来段 饶舌 告白

啷个 嫩个 勒个 爬坡上坎累么

打个摆摆 喝点国宾摆哈龙门阵撒

正南齐北 今晚兄弟齐嘞

Everywhere I go

They're always speaking 方言

我怎么听得懂 他们说的都是方言

Ooh ooh ooh

Everybody's speaking 方言

Everybody's speaking 方言
