Текст и перевод песни Jody Chiang - 生活苦

生活苦

风云变成风台雨
烦恼尪婿海南岛
家内散三当难渡
细子致病要如何
望尪婿返来照顾
又搁远路途
希望天甲阮保护
紧返台湾岛
自恨天地无公道
自叹黑暗阮前途
望尪婿返来保护
无疑返来无头路
加一欸呼阮照顾
目屎那落雨
甘愿行来去打拼
明明阮的命
红灯青灯照酒厅
假装笑容招待兄
鼻酒味心头又惊
环境支配迫阮行
孤不终不顾名声
心肝不时痛
结果是为尪为子
才著这歹命

Life of Toil

Storms turn into heavy rain
Worried son-in-law on Hainan Island
Family separated in three places, hard to get through
Daughter-in-law is ill, what can be done?
Hoping son-in-law will return to take care of her
But the journey is long
Hoping Heaven will protect us
And he will quickly return to Taiwan
I hate that Heaven and Earth are unjust
And sigh that my future is dark
I hope that my son-in-law will return to protect
But if he returns, there is no way out
So I will care for her myself
My tears fall like rain
So I am willing to go out and fight
For my own life
Red and green lights shine on the bar
I pretend to smile and entertain the guests
The smell of alcohol makes my heart tremble
Circumstances force me to do this
I am desperate and have no regard for my reputation
My heart aches constantly
But I do it all for my husband and son
That's why I have to suffer this fate
