Brother Bill

Song & Lyrics/Singer: Sun Heng

When I know you, you have been working for thirteen hours.

All the guys call you “Brother Bill”, the most comfortable and acquaint way of calling you by your brothers

After getting drunk, you said you are homesick.

No matter how you miss your wife and children, you can only work harder and harder, that makes you meet the ends for the family

You wake up early in the morning and work late at night everyday

No matter how exhausted you are, you can only work harder and harder,

So that you can make the ends meet for the family

You hate the guys who do nothing but gain the most

They wear beautiful clothing but look down on you

“Who supports whom?” You questioned.

They always cannot understand such reasoning,

they always cannot understand such reasoning

Day by day, year by year, the days passed as such

What you possess is a pair of empty hands,

You always said that there may be changes tomorrow

But awaking the day after, you have to work hard endlessly.

When I know you, you have been working for thirteen hours.
