Текст и перевод песни 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
子那要吃鳥梨糖
一瞑哭甲光
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
未得返家門
子那哭飫又沒飯
三頓蕃薯湯
想要作工腳手軟
誰人心未酸

Waiting for my lover to come home

Sitting by the window missing you
The moon is red in the east
The spring wind is blowing and I am alone here
I have not been able to see you
You have been away from Taiwan for so long
You don't miss your hometown
The house has become so empty
Who wouldn't complain
You are farther away than the flowing water
You left me in the countryside
I only eat once a day
I am so thin and pale
My son wants to eat some sugar pears
He cries all night long
My dear, how could you forget your plans
How could you go so far away
Seeing the mandarin ducks at the bottom of the water
Made me more sad
My tears keep flowing and I keep thinking
I have not been able to return home
My son cries himself to sleep and goes hungry
I can only afford sweet potato soup three times a day
I want to work but I am too weak
Who wouldn't feel heartbroken
