Yeee haaa~~~here comes Jay Chou again!
This time, he is not Chopin’s incarnation anymore…Jay Chou came back in a cowboy costume!!
As the opening track in this album, “The Cowboy is Busy” is a bold endeavour. It’s totally different and fresh, non-oriental and extremely western. It’s 100% Yankee I would say. It’s true, trust me, I really could not find Jay’s trace in this song except the Rap in chorus part.
As usual, if you want to understand the lyrics, please don’t bother to listen to what Jay is rapping in the song, it’s a total blattering! Oh, I translated the lyrics, in case you don’t read Chinese.
~.~.~.~. ~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~
Translation:
Oooo Laaa Oooo Laaaa as the train whistles, followed by galloping horse shoes. Young little missy playing harmonica, leaving a beautiful trace under sunset.
I wrote the diary with bullets, after finished introducing this scenery, I’ll introduce myself.
Although I am a cowboy, I only order milk in the bar. No beer because it endangers health.
Many guys don’t have eyes, arrogance is relied upon weapons. Once bare-handed they’ll turn into ants.
Chorus Part
Don’t bother Don’t bother Don’t bother Don’t bother Don’t bother
Come fight me together, I am in a rush. Dueling everyday tires my audiences and heros
Don’t bother Don’t bother, this chorus ain’t be so long, how many of you? Just come together!
Righteous’s calling me, Chicks need me, Cowboys are busy.
I rode my donkey, because horse is too high for me (*Ahem…Jay is too short?*), I bath in bubbles because I can play with toys at the same time.
I have a kind heart, wear only fake leather, oh ya, try hard not to squash on grass when I trip.
Guns don’t have eyes, I promised God that I’ll try to shoot with rubber bands unless there isn’t any choice for me.
Boss, have a milkshake first, please feed my little donkey before you run for your life

How about the original Chinese lyrics again?
呜啦啦啦火车笛 随著奔腾的马蹄 小妹妹吹著口琴 夕阳下美了剪影
我用子弹写日记 介绍完了风景 接下来换介绍我自己
我虽然是个牛仔 在酒吧只点牛奶 为什麼不喝啤酒 因为啤酒伤身体
很多人不长眼睛 嚣张都靠武器 赤手空拳就缩成蚂蚁
不用麻烦了 不用麻烦了 不用麻烦不用麻烦了 不用麻烦了
你们一起上 我在赶时间 每天决斗观眾都累了 英雄也累了
不用麻烦了 不用麻烦了 副歌不长你们有几个 一起上好了
正义呼唤我 美女需要我 牛仔很忙的
我啦啦啦骑毛驴 因为马跨不上去 洗澡都洗泡泡浴 因为可以玩玩具
我有颗善良的心 都只穿假牛皮 喔跌倒时尽量不压草皮
枪口它没长眼睛 我曾经答应上帝 除非是万不得已 我尽量射橡皮筋
老闆先来杯奶昔 要逃命前请你 顺便餵餵我那隻小毛驴

I bath in bubbles because I can play with toys at the same time
Oh ya, this song is not so hard, just try not to cramp your fingers when you play “Don’t bother don’t bother don’t bother ….INFINITY….”

Abel Free Music Downloads…
I had this episode with free music downloads recently. Somehow this reminded me of an music download site I joined yesterday. How do…

Where is the second part when it has the faster part? i like the part the most. please get it and where did you get it because i couldn’t find it anywhere?

Justin, I transcribed this song by ownself. Which faster part you meant? The “Cowboy is coming” rap part? Or the fiddling violin part?
The rap part starts from Bar 13th, and sorry, I omitted the violin part. I’ll try to amend it soon.
Thanks for pointing this out.
