The following is a line-by-line translation of the lyrics, but the characters are scrambled. Fix them.

I went to a party last Saturday night

六一我参加星了上个场对期派

I didn't get laid, I got in a fight

架找,打我没我了伴然竟个

It ain't no big thing

大不啥的没了

Late for my job and the traffic was bad

通迟很挤到交班了,上

Had to borrow ten bucks from my old man

块爸了不得钱十借老不向

It ain't no big thing

啥大的没不了

I went to a party last Saturday night

个我六参上加派个星期一了对

I told you that story, it'd be alright

事真我你,那的故没过告事个诉

It ain't no big thing

没的啥不了大

But I know what I like

是知什我可道喜么欢我

I know I like dancin' with you

你我道知和喜跳我欢舞

And I know what you like

道也什喜欢你么知我

I know you like dancin' with me

你道我喜知我跳欢和舞

Kiss me once

次吻一我

Kiss me twice

吻次两我

C'mon pretty baby, kiss me deadly

个贝命过,吻来来的宝致

Had a few beers, gettin' high

醉,开几喝啤了了始瓶酒

Sittin', watchin' the time go by

着逝光看,的着时坐去

It ain't no big thing

了的没啥不大

Nothin' to eat and no TV

的视吃有有也,电没没

Lookin' in the mirror don't get it for me

子的镜啥看没玩好

It ain't no big thing

不没的大啥了

@feihong:

Corrected the 瓶 and 啤 issue.

I changed the other one to 看着时光的逝去. However, I still think not having the "的" there is a more accurate translation of the original.

Try searching for "看着时光的逝去" and "看着时光逝去" with quotes. One has like 2 results and the other has over 7,000.

@jkhsu: You might be right, but I'm not sure which one is better. In any case, that's what I ended up with after it got looked over by a native speaker. You made a good argument for leaving out the 的, though.
