This is my fav, by Andy Lau. This is one of his Mandarin classics (though he is from Hong Kong and is known for his Cantonese songs) Ben Xiao Hai (it means "Silly Child"). Lyric translation below....

Oh...there is a stupid kid outside a quiet village.
He was born in the 1960s.
When he was in the city in his teens, he was not afraid of the sun.
He worked hard in the 1970s and discovered that in the city, friends don't have to irrigate, and the flowers will bloom naturally.

Oh... in the blink of an eye, this stupid kid has reached the 1980s again.
In the end, his thirties are neither good nor bad.
After passing through the 1990s, the most helpless thing is that he is always slower than others
and that he had no money in his pocket.

Hey! Pat your chest and stand up bravely!
Don’t be in a bad mood.
Hey! Bow to the Heavens!
Don’t despair!
The Heavens has a plan.

Oh... They say that in the city men are not bad and women are not in love.
No matter how hard you think about it, you can’t understand it.
My mother said true love will lead to wonderful love.
Yet in the end, I don’t have a woman!
The stupid kid is still determined and as strong as a rock.
But, He is just unbearably lonesome at night.

Hey! Pat your chest and stand up bravely!
Don’t be in a bad mood.
Hey! Bow to the Heavens!
Don’t despair!
The Heavens has a plan.

The Heavens loves the silly child.
