Текст и перевод песни 尤雅 - 孤女的願望

孤女的願望

请借问播田的田庄阿伯啊
人块讲繁华都市台北对叨去
阮就是无依偎可怜的女儿
自细汉着来离开父母的身边
虽然无人替阮安排将来代志
阮想要来去都市做着女工渡日子
也通来安慰自己心内的稀微

请借问路边的卖烟阿姐啊
人块讲对面彼间工场是不是
贴告示要用人阮想要来去
我看你犹原不是幸福的女儿
虽然无人替咱安排将来代志
在世间总是着要自己打算恰日子
青春是不通耽误人身的真义

请借问门头的办公阿伯啊
人块讲这间工场有要采用人
阮虽然也少年郎不知半项
同情我地头生疏以外无希望
假使少钱也要忍耐三冬五冬
为将来为着幸福甘愿受苦来活动
有一日总会得着心情的轻松

Orphan's Wish

Oh, lend me your ear, kind farmer in the field,
I've heard that the bustling Taipei city is that way.
I'm a helpless girl without a home,
Ever since I was little, I left my parents' side.
Though no one's there to guide my future,
I want to go to the city, to work as a factory girl.
It's my way of finding solace in my lonely heart.

Oh, lend me your ear, kind cigarette vendor by the road,
I've heard that there's a factory across the way,
With a sign advertising for workers, and I want to go.
I can see that you, too, are a daughter who's not yet content.
Though no one's there to guide our future,
In this world, we must take matters into our own hands.
For youth is precious, and we must not waste it.

Oh, lend me your ear, kind man at the factory entrance,
I've heard that this factory is hiring.
Though I'm young and inexperienced,
Please pity me, for I have nowhere else to turn.
Even if the pay is low, I will endure it,
For my future, for my happiness, I will suffer and work hard.
One day, I know I will find peace of mind.
