But - no, can’t do! Then what do I do?2

With a chicken dumpling in my mouth
 
I look at a chicken tofu skin roll longingly
 
Such a pity that reality always wants ducks7
 
And has me tied up with a taro
 
I love sizzling chicken
 
I love to eat chicken butt
 
I love chicken wings in soy sauce
 
Let’s eat chicken and sing together
 
But
 
Though I wanted chicken

In the end I became a dried duck, duck, duck
 

• 1. A pun. In Cantonese, “duck” is homophonous with “得”(dak1), which roughly means “can (do something)” or “(something) can (be done)”. 下下一定要Duck/得 can mean both “Every time it’s got to be ducks”, and “Every time things have got to be able to be done i.e. go as planned”.
• 2. 唔得(m4 dak1) literally means “cannot”.
• 3. This line continues to use the word play on “duck” and “得”(dak1), meaning “how do I change the situation so that something can be done, when it so certainly can’t?” in the logic that a chicken can’t possibly be turned into a duck.
• 4. See [1].
• 5. See [2].
• 6. See [3].
• 7. Still the wordplay on “duck” and 得(dak1). It really means “such a pity that reality always wants things to be able to go as planned”.
