*其實一首閩南歌。*


Lyrics:鄭進一/陳維祥
Composition:鄭進一

有一日咱若老 找無人甲咱友孝
*Once we’re old, and can’t find anyone to look after us*
我會陪你 坐惦椅寮
*I’ll be with you sitting on a bench*
聽你講少年的時陣 你有外摮
*Listening to you talk about the old days, about how cool you used to be*
吃好吃醜無計較 怨天怨地嘛袂曉
*No matter if we eat well or not, I won’t complain about anything*
你的手 我會甲你牽條條
*Your hand, I’ll always hold onto it tightly*
因為我是你的家後
*Because I’m your wife.*

阮將青春嫁置恁兜 阮對少年跟你跟甲老
*I put up my youth to marry into your family, and followed from a young age till we’ll grew old*
人情世事已經看透透 有啥人比你卡重要
*I’ve seen passed everything in the world; who can be more important than you?*
阮的一生獻乎恁兜 才知幸福是吵吵鬧鬧
*Giving my entire life to you, I then knew how happy it was to be surrounded by noise*
等待返去的時陣若到 我會讓你先走
*When the day comes that we await our final hours, I will let you go first*
因為我會嘸甘 放你為我目屎流
*Because I can’t stand to have you shed a tear for me.*

有一日咱若老 有媳婦子兒友孝
*When we grow old, and have our sons and daught-in-laws to take care of us*
你若無聊 拿咱的相片
*When you’re bored, just hold up those photos*
看卡早結婚的時陣 你外緣投
*And look at when we first got married, you were so handsome*
穿好穿醜無計較 怪東怪西嘛袂曉
*Doesn’t matter if I wear anything fashionable or not, I won’t blame anyone*
你的心我會永遠記條條 因為我是你的家後
*I will only remember how you treated me with your true heart, because I’m your wife*

阮將青春嫁置恁兜 阮對少年跟你跟甲老
*I put up my youth to marry into your family, and followed from a young age till we’ll grew old*
人情世事已經看透透 有啥人比你卡重要
*I’ve seen passed everything in the world; who can be more important than you?*
阮的一生獻乎恁兜 才知幸福是吵吵鬧鬧
*Giving my entire life to you, I then knew how happy it was to be surrounded by noise*
等待返去的時陣若到 我會讓你先走
*When the day comes that we await our final hours, I will let you go first*
因為我會嘸甘 放你為我目屎流
*Because I can’t stand to have you shed a tear for me.*
