Paroles et traduction Jody Chiang - 望郎早歸

望郎早歸

思念我君坐在窗 東邊月娘紅
春風吹來阮一人 未得照希望
離開這久的台灣 無想咱鄉村
厝內又擱這呢散 誰人未怨嘆
離開比水流恰遠 放阮在田莊
甲子一日吃一頓 消瘦面青黃
子那哭要鳥仔糖 一哭瞑甲光
我君是你失打算 怎樣去彼遠
看見水底的鴛鴦 加添阮憂愁
目屎那流又那想 未得返家鄉
子那哭飫又沒飯 代用蕃薯湯
想要作工腳手軟 誰個心未酸

Waiting for My Love to Return Home

Thinking of you as I sit by the windowThe moon is red in the east
The spring breeze blows and I am all aloneI have not yet seen your fulfillment
I've been away from Taiwan for so longI have no longing for our hometown
The house is empty againWho wouldn't resent this
Leaving is like the flowing water, so far apartLeaving me on the farm
I eat once a day, like a starving dogI am thin and pale
My child cries for candyHe cries himself to sleep
My love, you have no ideaHow far away you have gone
Seeing the mandarin ducks underwaterDeepens my sorrow
Tears flow, and I miss you soI have not yet been able to return home
My child is hungry and there is no riceI have to make do with sweet potato soup
I want to work, but my legs are weakWho would not feel bitter
