Lyrics and translation 洪榮宏 - 舊皮箱流浪兒

舊皮箱流浪兒

(離開故鄉來流浪)
(流浪喲)

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

(打拼喲)

Old Suitcase Wanderer

(Leaving my hometown to wander)
(Wandering, oh)

Leaving my hometown, wandering alone,
It's not that I love to roam, but I have no place to voice my woes.

Since I graduated, I haven't found a job, my love.
My parents are getting old and rely on my future.
As a man, I should, ah, ah, strive and make my way.

Carrying my old suitcase, drifting with the wind,
My ambition to venture out, hoping for success, my sweet.

No matter what it is, I'll do any work, darling.
For the sake of living, I'm not afraid of any hardship.
As a man, I should, ah, ah, strive and make my way.

I see before me, I've arrived in the city,
The twilight in this foreign land, it intoxicates my heart.

My dear parents back home,
Please don't worry about my future, my dears.
As a man, I should, ah, ah, strive and make my way.

(Striving, oh)
