Dream's幫: 亞煩達 入侵旺角(Free D 版)!!
Dream Aiders: "Avatar" Invades Mongkok (in FreeD)
Ladies and gentlemen, let it be known: I can't get enough of Chinese guys running around in blue body paint pretending to be "Avatars". I can't. I hope I can wake up tomorrow and keep doing this all over again, just as I have today.
This is a Youtube video of a Hong Kong-based group called Dream's幫. The goal of this group, whether or not they make people laugh, is to actualize the dreams that other people are too afraid to attempt on their own. I don't know if that means Chinese are not able to accomplish dreams without the help of a bunch of guys way down the Jackass pole.
As this is Cantonese, I will switch over to using Traditional Chinese for awhile. Also, I'll try to duplicate the spoken Cantonese as much as possible, but as the written words are provided I'll mostly be using those. First I will show the Chinese transcript then a short glossary section and then the English transcript will follow.
By the way, the pun of the title is that they changed the normal spelling of "Avatar" (which is 阿凡達) to "亞煩達", which can be loosely translated to "The annoyance of Asia has arrived". That makes more sense than the usually spelling which can be badly translated to "The arrival of Afaan/Afan", in which this person "Afaan/Afan" has a name which means "ordinary".
Enjoy. Let me know of any mistakes or suggestions.

If a person has no dream to live for
Then what is the difference between this person and a salted fish?
Four red-blooded passionate youths
Have broken off all ties to their generation to take on the fate of a salted fish
In order to fulfil all of your dreams
From their spirits will emerge a will that is ready and able
Their names are : Dream Aiders
[in some made up language that isn't Cantonese, Mandarin, Na'vi or anything with some semblance of respect]
Hi everybody
We are the Dream Aiders
Just by looking at our appearance you should be able to figure out what kind of dream we are trying to fulfill today
Of course, it would be concerning the recent blockbuster hit “Avatar:
Let’s do it!
(A Little While Earlier…)
We have gathered a whole big pile of dream requests
Many of them are very creative
However, despite coming up with these ideas, no one is willing and courageous enough to make them come true
At last, these unfulfilled dreams need to be brought to life
Hey, this ones really cool
You know, the big hit of the city right now is the movie “Avatar”
He says he’d like us to try being “Avatar”
Because in real life he can’t do it
This is possible, I feel
It is very simple, all we have to do is
Cover our bodies with blue paint, put on a loin cloth
And sacrifice our own bodies
Okay, since we have this box-office hit “Avatar”
We are going to see for ourselves what life is like on “Pandora”
“Pandora” living!
First we need to find our tribe of people
Tribe?
We have a tribe we belong to?
We do, and it’s… over here
There are some tribal people escaping
There are some tribal people shrieking
We are “Avatar”!
Let’s try and see if we can conduct electricity
We have finally found our tribe of people
It’s blue, the entire body is blue
He was born here on this earth
But we are related by blood
I’ll demonstrate once for you to see
See, like this
Ow!
Oh noes!
He got hurt
I love “Avatar”…yeah!
1, 2, 3, let’s go!
So like that we’ve sent them all away
In that case let’s go too
Let’s go!
Okay, so just a moment ago we found their tribe
And now, we’re going to fool around with some pedestrians
I want to go to the sauna
Let’s go
I want to go to the sauna
Let’s go to the sauna then
We are the Dream Aiders
I love Avatar
(flying dragon)
We are nice people
She has been quicker than me in finding her dragon
We still haven’t found the sauna of the city
That’s true
We’ve come to the city but we still haven’t found the city sauna
Let’s find it quickly, let’s find it quickly
We have seen a construction vehicle that is destroying the environment
We are still no match for him
The enemy is many and I am few, we’d better retreat
We have spotted a deserter
Is “sorry” going to save you this time?
You have destroyed my home, and there’s nothing I can do about it
Retreat!
They now have to teach Hong Kongers how to dance a native folk dance of Pandora
This is the Pandora Lord of the Dance!
[racist stereotypes abound in this segment; personally, I find the comedic stylings of Sarah Silverman to be much funnier]
You are not talented
But if you work hard at it you should eventually succeed
Okay
Eventually one day you will catch up to my achievements
Yes, I will
Do you know what kind of achievements I have?
Have you heard of “East Achieve West Accomplish”? [sorry, this isn't correct]
Also, I don’t know why but these people like to come over and take my picture
Are we really that strange and special?
Just tell me one time: Do you think I’m hot?
Hey, come over and look at this!
“Avatar” will now perform swinging water hair kung fu!
[note: swinging water hair kung fu is a martial arts performance to demonstrate balance and neck power and ability to head bang at a Crue concert]
Esteemed brothers and elders
We “Avatar”
To allow us to prepare for a costly trip ahead of us
Have decided to come out here
And perform swinging water hair kung fu
You did a great job!
Well, how was it? How do you feel?
I’ll go get the money first, I’ll get the money first
I’m so dizzy
Oh noes!
Once I come to collect money, everybody vanishes
Our “Avatar” buddy has succeeded in making a whole ten bucks! (HKD)
It’s been said that everywhere in Hong Kong there’s money to be made, and now it looks like that’s actually true
Yup, money money everywhere!
I want to eat a bowl of assorted beef noodles
Okay, okay, with ten bucks
We can go celebrate with a bowl of assorted beef noodles
Those guys have completely forgot about me
Do you want us to help realize your dream?
Then immediately come and tell us!
