Siu Keung (Slang for cockroach)

Composer: Ronald Ng (伍樂城) (伍乐城)
Lyricist: Lin Xi (林夕) (林夕)


*Notes: siu means small and keung means strong, cockroaches are small and are very durable.

You cherish each bud of wild flower
At the same time you hate dirt therefore you are most scared of
Cockroaches, right?
You are scared it will pollute your home
Like a butterfly flying high therefore you need to
Squish it, right?

I never provoked you yet you exhaust all your strength
To scream

Then you go to watch an even more exciting
Ill omen

I shout loudly that you are most scared of the dark
Proving you're so petite

You are a baby who is very shy
You are very rude towards clowns
You refused the monster to walk closer because it has a very ugly face
You are a baby who is very shy
You tell people with strange faces to leave

You are like a beautiful butterfly
It wants to have a hug but it doesn't know shame

You love the light, clear snowflakes
At the same time you hate dark brown therefore you detest
Siu Keung, right?
You use your noble brush
At any time you might wish to kill it
You are playing scared
