Текст и перевод песни 黃品源 - 我要來去作兵

我要來去作兵

真多朋友對我講起 作兵的故事
煩惱甘苦傷心 遇到鬼的嘛有

分去卡輕鬆的單位 你就 " 舒舒服服 "
哪分去卡硬斗的單位 " 操得要死 "

真多朋友還沒退伍 愛人就離開
尹講嘛不知影 到底是為什麼

其實嘛免想以後 擱有作伙的日子
因為 " 阿兵哥的帽子 都是綠色的 "

我要來去作兵 要轉大人 就要先來學舉槍
我要來去作兵 因為查甫人要磨練 才會有路用

放不落心 是故鄉的阿母
不是我沒勇氣 嘛不是我還幼稚

就要兩年以後 才會呷著 你煮的米
我會請神明保庇你健康快樂 歡歡喜喜

我要來去作兵 要轉大人 就要先來學舉槍
我要來去作兵 因為查甫人要磨練 才會有路用

我要來去作兵 保衛國家 表現男人的本領
我要來去作兵 因為查甫人要磨練 才會有路用

［軍歌］
風雲起 山河動
黃埔建軍聲勢雄
革命壯士誓盡忠

金戈鐵馬 百戰沙場
安內攘外做先鋒

縱橫掃蕩 復興中華
所向無敵立大功

I'm Going to Be a Soldier

Many friends tell me stories about being a soldier
Troubles, bitterness, sadness, and even ghosts

Assigned to an easy unit, you'll be "comfortable"
Assigned to a tough unit, you'll be "worked to death"

Many friends break up with their lovers before they've even finished their service
I don't know why, but I guess that's just how it is

Don't dwell on the future or the time we have together
Because "the caps of soldiers are all green"

I'm going to be a soldier, to become a man, I must first learn to raise my gun
I'm going to be a soldier, because men need to be tested to be useful

I can't let go of my mother back home
It's not that I'm not brave or that I'm still young

It's just two years later that I will eat the rice you cook
I will ask the gods to bless you with health, happiness, and joy

I'm going to be a soldier, to become a man, I must first learn to raise my gun
I'm going to be a soldier, because men need to be tested to be useful

I'm going to be a soldier, to protect my country and show the strength of men
I'm going to be a soldier, because men need to be tested to be useful

［軍歌］
The wind and clouds rise, the mountains and rivers move
The Whampoa Military Academy is mighty
Revolutionary warriors vow to be loyal

Gold and iron horses, a hundred battles on the battlefield
Leading the way in pacifying internal and external threats

Sweep across the board, restore China
Invincible, making great achievements
