No. 87 Avenue Joffre, Hei Bang (Hi-Bomb)

No. 87 Avenue Joffre[1]

Verse 1

The red fire station by the road

Was that place we used to rendezvous

Ohhhey~ throwing crazy cockfighting party

Just to win some vanilla-flavored chocolate

Yeah~, So sweet, I was exuberant

It’z like u n me n he n she, then back 2 me

I can talk all day and not explain it

Back 2 my people~ppl~ppl~people, playing a hand game

For boys, fighting is the favorite pastime

Out of them all, I was the trickster

The boy next door was like my little brother, and my partner in crime

I miss him whenever I’m nostalgic

Thank you, my childhood comrades

Da time we spent 2gether was so great

And I want to turn back time

Back to that noisy alley

Verse 2

The summer nights were the longest

I’d sit in my yard, chillin’

Used to peep on the girl next door like I thought I was sneaky

While she was dressing

She was my beauty with her jet black hair flowing

I dreamt that one day, she’d be my bride

But time flies in the blink of an eye

I’ve grown up too long ago

Thinking of it, she has probably been married for a long time now

Leaving me with the memory of her sweet pear candy

Yet another sweet fantasy I won’t dare forget

Is there time to ride my rocking horse one last time?

Haha~ these hallmarks of childhood,

They will never grow old

Only more beautiful, like aged wine

But what to change, and what remains?
