The song became an introductory tune to my favourite series Call Me By Fire, but the original song is sung by the trio of Andy Lau, Jacky Wu and Ke Sou Liang.
A relatively simple tune in C major, the catchy tune is very addictive. Sharing herewith the simple piano arrangement & tune in string.

Lyrics for the Call Me By Fire version
| 哦 宁静的小村外 有一个笨小孩 出生在六零年代 | ó níng jìng de xiǎo cūn wài yǒu yī gè bèn xiǎo hái chū shēng zài liù líng nián dài | Woooo… On a quiet small village There’s a foolish kid Born in the 1960s |
| 十来岁到城市 不怕那太阳晒 努力在七零年代 | shí lái suì dào chéng shì bù pà nà tài yáng shài nǔ lì zài qī líng nián dài | At 10 going into the city Not afraid of the sunshine Working hard in the 1970s |
| 发现呀 城市里 朋友们不用去灌溉 花自然会开 | fā xiàn ya chéng shì lǐ péng yǒu men bù yòng qǜ guàn gài huā zì rán huì kāi | Realising at the city Friends not required to pour water Flowers will naturally bloom |
| 哦 转眼间那么快 这一个笨小孩 又到了八零年代 | ó zhuǎn yǎn jiān nà me kuài zhè yī gè bèn xiǎo hái yòu dào le bā líng nián dài | In a twinkling of an eye This foolish kid Is already in the 1980s |
| 三十岁到头来 不算好也不坏 经过了九零年代 | sān shí suì dào tóu lái bù suàn hǎo yě bù huài jīng guò le jiǔ líng nián dài | In the 30s Not really considered bad Went through the 1990s |
| 最无奈他自己 总是会慢人家一拍 没有钱在那口袋 | zuì wú nài tā zì jǐ zǒng shì huì màn rén jiā yī pāi méi yǒu qián zài nà kǒu dài | Unfortunately Always a little later than others Never having a dime in the pocket |
| 哎哟往着胸口拍拍呀 勇敢站起来 不用心情太坏 | āi yō wǎng zhe xiōng kǒu pāi pāi ya yǒng gǎn zhàn qǐ lái bù yòng xīn qíng tài huài | Patting the empty stomach Bravely stand up Do not need to be sad |
| 哎哟向着天空拜拜呀 别想不开 老天自有安排 | āi yō xiàng zhe tiān kōng bài bài ya bié xiǎng bù kāi lǎo tiān zì yǒu ān pái | Facing the sky & clap a little Do not need to feel frustrated Heaven has plan |
| 笨小孩 有一天系上领带 笨小孩 奔跑在每个年代 笨小孩 被高台拒之门外 这笨小孩 相信会自有安排 | bèn xiǎo hái yǒu yī tiān jì shàng lǐng dài bèn xiǎo hái bēn pǎo zài měi gè nián dài bèn xiǎo hái bèi gāo tái jǜ zhī mén wài zhè bèn xiǎo hái xiāng xìn huì zì yǒu ān pái | Rap version from Call Me By Fire One day going up to 2000s Foolish kid running all over the decades Standing outside This foolish kid believes heaven has plan |
| 他羡慕过 那些天造之才 在偌大的城市间 自由自在 在难眠的夜晚中 留下独白 不管何时也要像 少年归来 | tā xiàn mù guò nà xiē tiān zào zhī cái zài ruò dà de chéng shì jiān zì yóu zì zài zài nán mián de yè wǎn zhōng liú xià dú bái bù guǎn hé shí yě yào xiàng shào nián guī lái | He will live through the days In the city with freedom Leaving a monologue in the middle of the night Thinking of the good days of being young |
| 人影太匆匆 看时光流逝 我期待着朝阳 也爱着落日 哪怕这春风与昨日不似 也要将炙热与精彩留世 | rén yǐng tài cōng cōng kàn shí guāng liú shì wǒ qī dāi zhe cháo yáng yě ài zhuó luò rì nǎ pà zhè chūn fēng yǚ zuó rì bù sì yě yào jiāng zhì rè yǚ jīng cǎi liú shì | In a rush of shadow, watching the time passes I look forward to the ray of sun, also loving the sunset The breeze in spring is unfamiliar But to leave a wonderful world |
| 梦想与自由 都藏在 他的楼台屋顶 那个 小孩 轻抚洒下的月光 灯火与烟花在交替 闪烁着坠入他的心 | mèng xiǎng yǚ zì yóu dōu cáng zài tā de lóu tái wū dǐng nà gè xiǎo hái qīng fǔ sǎ xià de yüè guāng dēng huǒ yǚ yān huā zài jiāo tì shǎn shuò zhe zhuì rù tā de xīn | Dream & freedom are kept at the top of the tower The foolish kid caresses the wine under the moon Lamp & fireworks replaces the night Glittering into the heart |
| 哦 他们说城市里 男不坏女不爱 怎么想也不明白 | ó tā men shuō chéng shì lǐ nán bù huài nǚ bù ài zěn me xiǎng yě bù míng bái | They said in the city Men who are not bad, will not be loved by women Still it does not make sense |
| 妈妈说真心爱 会爱得很精彩 结果我没有女孩 | mā mā shuō zhēn xīn ài huì ài de hěn jīng cǎi jié guǒ wǒ méi yǒu nǚ hái | Mother says love with sincerity, will be fabulous The result is I am without women |
| 笨小孩依然是坚强得 像石头一块 只是晚上寂寞难耐 | bèn xiǎo hái yī rán shì jiān qiáng dé xiàng shí tou yī kuài zhǐ shì wǎn shàng jì mò nán nài | Even then, the foolish kid is courageous Like a rock Just lonely at night |
| 哎哟往着胸口拍拍呀 勇敢站起来 不用心情太坏 | āi yō wǎng zhe xiōng kǒu pāipāi ya yǒng gǎn zhàn qǐ lái bù yòng xīn qíng tài huài | Patting the empty stomach Bravely stand up Do not need to be sad |
| 哎哟向着天空拜拜呀 别想不开 老天自有安排 | āi yō xiàng zhe tiān kōng bàibài ya bié xiǎng bù kāi lǎo tiān zì yǒu ān pái | Facing the sky & clap a little Do not need to feel frustrated Heaven has plan |
| 哎哟往着胸口拍拍呀 勇敢站起来 不用心情太坏 | āi yō wǎng zhe xiōng kǒu pāipāi ya yǒng gǎn zhàn qǐ lái bù yòng xīn qíng tài huài | Patting the empty stomach Bravely stand up Do not need to be sad |

| 哎哟往着胸口拍拍呀 勇敢站起来 管它上山下海 | āi yō wǎng zhe xiōng kǒu pāipāi ya yǒng gǎn zhàn qǐ lái guǎn tā shàng shān xià hǎi | Patting the empty stomach Bravely stand up Care not going up the mountain, nor down the sea |
