He says stuff like "only you can protect me blah blah blah" just to convince Stephen to go on the journey with him

...I try to translate it from mandarin as followed, sorry for my poor english...

Only you , can get the westeren sutra with me

Only you, can kill the monster and devils

Only you ,can protect me

not be eaten by crab and mussel monsters

U have the greatest power, it's only u...

On ON oN only u, do not feel unhappy because of my prolixity

take the golden ring on ur head

be not afraid of death and don't shake

I would take all the sins by myself while u sacrifice ur life

try our best for all the lives in the world ,no matter lose our own life

Nanwu(?) Amitabha

On oN ON only ...a~

The original language of the film is Cantonese (the mandarin version loses a lot of the humors of the Cantonese version). The Cantonese song is very funny. It is not about the literal meaning of the words; it is about the unexpected juxtaposition of the words and how inappropriate they are (coming from a well respected monk). Here is the translation from the Cantonese version. Note the humor.

-------------------

You know what is dang dang dang dang dang dang dang?

Only you, can take me to the west sutra.

Only you, can kill the monsters and devils.

Only you, can protect me so that crab monsters and mussel monsters won't make a delicious meal out of me.

Only you are so damn powerful, that is the meaning of "only you".

Only you, do not blame your master for talking non-stop like an old woman.

Put the tightening restrainer back on your head.

Don't be afraid of death and don't shake in your boots out of fear.

Don't be scared of troubles down the road, I understand

You have to do your best. If there is something scary, it is better that you get scared with me rather than for me to get scared alone.
