about

In Chongqing dialect, "Gao Hua Er" means "beggar." The song "Gao Hua Er" tells the story of a crazy relative who is always broke and making up excuses to borrow money from everyone, while living a luxurious life with their extravagant spending.

重庆方言“告花儿” 是“乞丐”、“叫花儿”的意思。《告花儿》讲述了一个烂泥扶不上墙的亲戚,总是编造各种理由找周围的人借钱,自己却挥金如土,在他人的资助下过着奢侈的生活。

lyrics

告花儿

抬头仰望屋顶的月光
(Gazing up at the moonlight on the roof)
在这寂静的夜晚
(In this silent night)
无理取闹
(Creating a scene)
不曾遗忘他往日的模样
(He hasn't forgotten his past self)
可是他眼里的火光
(But the brightness in his eyes)
早已灭掉
(Has long been extinguished)

熟悉的样子在说谎话
(The familiar face tells lies)
他真是无可救药
(He's truly beyond redemption)
没办法
(No way out)
快逃吧
(We should run)

他塞进门缝的纸条
(The note he squeezed through the door crack)
这又是怎样的绝望
(What kind of despair is this?)
无人知晓
(No one knows)
倒在地上他说他很煎熬
(Falling to the ground, he says he's suffering)
无缘无故的心慌
(An inexplicable sense of panic)

(Ah)
装模作样
(Pretending)

救命他是无可救药
(He's beyond saving)
熟悉的样子在假装绝望
(The familiar face pretending to be desperate)
Too bad, it’s coming around and around
Too late!
I want, I want it to go away
Too late!

With this pointed end running through your lung
With this pointed end running through your lung
