Paroles et traduction Huang Yee Ling - 再見南國

再見南國

寶島舊府城 懷念阮的鄉里
自從離開來到異鄉已經過數年
阮想起細漢彼時故鄉的代誌
惜別彼時唱著彼條山明水青的歌詩

你看覓 請你看覓 阮的故鄉真正美麗
黃昏景色 水鴨雙雙像桃源仙景
月娘光晚暝 大家攏來海邊
唱歌跳舞歡歡喜喜 忘記夜更深

想起當時 人人講阮 會唱甲會跳
阮也唱著舊城南都 山明水清的歌詩
你看覓 請你看覓 阮的故鄉真正美麗
月夜海景 寶島聞名故鄉的海邊

今日阮收到爸爸寄來批信
講伊捉著大批烏魚 好運得財利
真歡喜 乎阮一時爽快有元氣
阮也唱著舊城南都 山明水清的歌詩

你看覓 請你看覓 阮的故鄉真正美麗
小魚大魚游來游去 阮的故鄉南都
山明水清 山明水清

Farewell to the South

My dear, my island's ancient city, I miss my hometown
Ever since I left for a foreign land, years have passed
I reminisce about my childhood days in my hometown
Bidding farewell, we sang songs of lush mountains and clear waters

Look, my darling, look at my hometown, it's truly beautiful
At dusk, the scenery is like a paradise with ducks swimming in pairs
When the moon shines at night, everyone gathers at the beach
Singing and dancing, we enjoy ourselves, forgetting the late hour

Back then, people said I was a talented singer and dancer
I sang songs of Nan Du's ancient city, with its lush mountains and clear waters
Look, my darling, look at my hometown, it's truly beautiful
The moonlight and the sea make my hometown's beach famous throughout the island

Today, I received a letter from my father
He said he caught a large haul of mullet, bringing him good fortune
I'm so happy, it fills me with joy and vigor
I sing songs of Nan Du's ancient city, with its lush mountains and clear waters

Look, my darling, look at my hometown, it's truly beautiful
Small and large fish swim about playfully in my hometown, Nan Du
Lush mountains and clear waters, lush mountains and clear waters
