in China while studying for my first degree,
at nights I slept deep and snored loud and free,
So to my bed my roommates threw me books,
in the mornings they hurled me their dirty looks.
In Canada I lived in a single room apartment,
I could afford the rent as a graduate student.
About my snore my neighbor didn't complain at all,
except that they sometimes knocked at the wall.
These days my wife grumbles that she's got fed,
Oftentimes she even kicks me off the bed.
Too bad, sometimes I also snore myself awake,
seriously, what I am telling you is true not fake.
Trying to solve this problem, I go to bed late,
until everybody has gone to their dreaming state.

在中國讀大學的時侯
晚上我經常睡得很沉,並且自由奔放地打呼嚕,
所以我室友們往我床上扔書,
早上他們還會給我白眼。
在加拿大,我住在一個單人房公寓里,
作為研究生,我付得起房租。
我鄰居並不抱怨我的呼嚕聲,
只是有時他們會拍打牆壁。
最近我老婆抱怨她受夠了,
她常常把我踢下床。
情況不妙,我有時甚至被自己的呼嚕聲吵醒,
不是開玩笑,我告訴你的都是實話,
為解決這個問題,我經常晚睡,
直到每個人都酣睡了我才上床。
