EN:
Bamboo shoots, once harvested, stiffen quickly
without Li Hua Fan's magic, who moves mountain and sea
A girl in love should marry
Don't let her fall into harlotry
As the ripened rice field fears the typhoon
the girl fears her pregnancy discovered too soon
Left hand pulls dress over her swollen bulge
Right hands beckons customers to indulge
As the sugarcane is hard but full of juice
The tea shop girl is sweet but keeps aloof
Using thousands upon thousands of his coin
CN:
竹笋离土目目柯
移山倒海樊梨花
有情阿娘仔着甲娶
不通放给伊落烟花
稻仔大肚惊风台
阿娘仔大肚惊人知
左手牵衫掩肚脐
正手搧君仔搁再来
甘蔗好吃头硬硬
茶店仔查某尚无情
一千二千提去用
EN:
The sun blazes over the land in June
She invites him to travel to Penghu
By planes, ferries, and automobiles
Luxurious seafood for three meals
Wax apple blossoms redden every tree
But on one, a fierce wasp can be seen
CN:
六月日头火烧埔
阿娘仔招君过澎湖
交通飞机也过渡
三餐海产吃鱼块
莲雾开花满树红
树顶一只虎头蜂

CN:

EN: After Belly Button left this fellow, it began to rain. From their perspectives, whether it's rain or shine, there will always be problems. But they've no time to ponder life's problems. Because in their own lives, there's an endless stream of them. Society often speaks of justice, but in these people's lives that word surely doesn't exist. Since it takes all they have to find their next meal, they have no energy to speak of such things.
CN: 在肚财离开那位兄弟之后就开始下雨，对他们来讲，不论是出太阳还是下雨，都会有困难，但他们没办法去想生命的困难，因为光是生活里面，就有解决不完的困难，社会常常在讲要公平正义，但在他们的生活之中，应该是没有这四个字，毕竟光是要捧饭碗就没力了，哪还有力气去讲那些有的没的。
