粽

出外的人 在 眠夢 A traveler far from kin was dreaming 閣夢著 伊 在 綁粽 Dreamed of the woman and the zongzi she mad 一陣香 一場夢 Aromatic but it was only a dream 心肝哪 破一孔 Woke up with a heart full of longing 感謝 店店的運將 Thanks to the tranquil taxi ride, 聽la-ji’-ooh 在放送 On the radio a song was playing 彼一首 燒肉粽 鑽入思念 裂的縫 Zongzi, which sent me back to the memory lane 台北城的南部人 Rural folks in the city throng, 袂赴慣勢 著要緊打拼 Hustling hard and struggling, 若艱苦 目屎 毋湯 撥未乾 Tears may fall but they must stay strong. 細漢 三頓媽媽為咱煮吃 Mama nurtured us since we were little 怨嘆 哪會連咪 變作大人 Time flies and we grew up 辛酸 一塊一塊藏 hiding pains with each passing day, 為啥拼命 我想欲 好額 what am I striving for, I long for success. 世事 大大細細 跋到 輸贏 Challenges in life, big or small 出脫 一直等成功彼一天 We fight to win and to give our all 一份溫暖 日思閣夜夢 What is the warmth and the love that never fades 就是媽媽 伊為我炊的粽 It is my mother’s rice dumplings that will always be there 毋驚出世 散食人 I was born poor but I have no fear 因為咱攏是天公 囝 啊 For we are all God’s children 日頭曝未死 Unfazed by the scorching sun or the pouring rai 雨水也會淋 怕 We rise above and we’re not intimidated. 細漢 三頓媽媽為咱煮吃 Mama nurtured us since we were little 怨嘆 哪會連咪 變作大人 Time flies and we grew up 辛酸 一塊一塊藏 hiding pains with each passing day, 為啥拼命 我想欲 好額 what am I striving for, I long for success. 世事 大大細細 跋到 輸贏 Challenges in life, big or small 出脫 一直等成功彼一天 We fight to win and to give our all 一份溫暖 日思閣夜夢 What is the warmth and the love that never fades 就是媽媽 伊為我炊的粽 It is my mother’s rice dumplings that will always be there
