Lyrics and translation Jody Chiang - 舊皮箱的流浪兒

舊皮箱的流浪兒

離開著阮故鄉 孤單來流浪
不是阮愛放蕩 有話無地講
自從我畢業後找無頭路
父母也年老要靠阮前途
做著一個男兒
應該嗄 嗄 來打拼
手提著舊皮箱 隨風來飄流
阮出外的主張 希望會成就
不管伊叨一項也是做工
為生活不驚一切的苦歎
做著一個男兒
應該嗄 嗄 來打拼
看見著面頭前 已經來都市
他鄉的黃昏時 引人心迷醉
故鄉的親愛的爸爸媽媽
請你也不免掛念阮將來
做著一個男兒
應該嗄 嗄 來打拼

The Vagrant with an Old Suitcase

I've left my hometown, a lonely wanderer,
Not because I'm reckless, but because I have nowhere to turn,
Since I graduated, I've been searching for a job,
And my elderly parents are counting on me.
As a man,
I must face the challenges
With an old suitcase in hand, I follow the wind,
Hoping to make my dreams a reality.
No matter how difficult the work,
I'm willing to endure it all
As a man,
I must face the challenges
I've arrived in the city,
Its twilight beauty captivating my heart.
My dear parents back home,
Please don't worry about me.
As a man,
I must face the challenges
