Текст и перевод песни 尤雅 - 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
袂得照希望

離開這久的台灣
無想咱鄉村
家內又擱這呢瘦
誰人抺怨嘆

離開比水流卡遠
放阮在田莊
甲子一日吃一頓
消瘦面青黃

子若哭要鳥梨糖
一暝哭甲光
我君仔是你失打算
怎樣去彼遠

看見水底的鴛鴦
加添阮憂愁
目屎那流又那想
袂得返家鄉

子那哭夭又沒飯
代用番薯湯
想要做工腳手軟
誰人心袂酸

Expecting You to Come Back Early

I sat at the window thinking of you
The moon in the east is red
The spring breeze blows
My hope is getting dim

You have left Taiwan for so long
You don't miss our hometown
I am getting thinner
Who can I tell my sorrow to

You are farther away than the flowing water
You have left me in the countryside
I only eat one meal a day
My face is pale and thin

My child is crying for hawthorn sugar
I cried all night long
My dear you have forgotten your promise
Why did you go so far away

I saw the mandarin ducks in the water
It added to my sorrow
I shed tears and miss you
I can't go back home

My child is crying and there is no food
I cook sweet potato soup instead
I want to work
Whose heart wouldn't ache
