Challenge #20: Raising a child is damn hard, is family planning even necessary?!


Use the translated English lyrics below to find the title and artist of the song. Bonus points for providing a video or audio link. A short audio clip is provided as an additional hint, should you need it.
 



Baby, when you came into this world
Did you know how happy your father was?
That day I invited so many of our friends
And picked this pleasant-sounding name for you
From this moment on you will be called Zheng Qianhua!
“Qian” as in “earning money”, hua as in “spending money”
Your father is currently a pauper
Your entire future rests in your own hands!

Baby, when you came into this world
Did you know how joyful your mother was?
That day she knitted a handsome sweater
I think when you wear it will look great
From this moment on you will be called Zheng Qianhua!
“Qian” as in “earning money”, hua as in “spending money”
Your father also wants to be a macho man
Give you and your mother a warm home!

But, my baby, do you know?
How hard it is to earn money now?
Raising a child is damn hard!
Is family planning still necessary?!
Glorious motherland, she’s got a ton of money!
Does 4 trillion have anything to do with me?
Proud GDP grows with a whoosh!
Can I trade it for several disposable diapers?!

Baby, your name is Zheng Qianhua
As your father I love you, but I’m helpless
So in the future you have to rely on yourself
Your father can only give you his heartfelt blessings!
Grow up properly, don't get sick
Study hard so we can save money on education costs
When you grow up, earn money and spend it
I give you my heartfelt blessings!

Chinese lyrics

宝贝,来到这世界的时候,
你知道爸爸有多高兴吗?
那天我请了我们很多的朋友,
还给你取了这个好听的名字,
从此以后你就叫郑钱花!
钱是挣钱的钱,花钱的花!
你的爸爸我现在是穷光蛋了,
将来的一切全靠你自己呀!

宝贝,来到这世界的时候,
你知道妈妈有多幸福吗?
那天她织了一件漂亮的毛衣,
我想你穿在身上肯定会很美,
从此以后你就叫郑钱花!
钱是挣钱的钱,花钱的花!
你的爸爸也想做个男子汉呐,
给你们母女两一个温暖的家!

可是,我的宝贝你知道么?
现在的钱有多么难挣啊?
养一个孩子他妈不容易呀!
计划生育还有必要吗?!
伟大的祖国,她超有钱啊!
四万个亿跟我有蛋关系呢?
骄傲的GDP它噌噌的涨啊!
能给我换来几包尿不湿吗?!

叭叭叭 叭叭叭
叭叭叭叭叭叭叭叭叭
叭叭叭 叭叭叭
叭叭叭叭叭叭叭叭
啦啦啦 啦啦啦
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦
啦啦啦 啦啦啦
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦

宝贝,你就叫郑钱花,
爸爸我爱你呀,却无能为力了,
所以以后要靠你自己呀,
爸爸我只有衷心祝福你了!
好好的成长不要生病啊,
努力学习才能省掉赞助费呀,
将来你长大了自己挣钱花,
爸爸我衷心的祝福你了!

可是,我的宝贝你知道么?
现在的钱有多么难挣啊?
养一个孩子他妈不容易呀!
计划生育还有必要吗?!
伟大的祖国,她超有钱啊!
四万个亿跟我有蛋关系呀?
骄傲的GDP它噌噌的涨啊!
能给我换来几包尿不湿吗?!

骄傲的GDP它噌噌的涨啊!
能给我换来几包尿不湿吗?
骄傲的GDP它噌噌的涨啊!
能给我换来几包——几包——几包——尿不湿吗?!

宝贝,来到这世界的时候,
你知道爸爸有多高兴么?
那天我请了我们很多的朋友,
还给你取了这个好听的名字,
你——就——叫——郑!钱!花!
