Living
in this strange society, is it possible you haven’t
had a strange experience
Destiny,
where are you headed, there’s no way to control you Friends,
relatives, neighbors, my successes are few, my
failures many One
day I will give up everything, stop always fearing
everything |
生
活在這個奇怪的社會 你甘無一款奇怪的體會 甘 講一定就愛讀冊 一世人找人拼高低 我 已經無力甲你去相爭 這些道理我不是沒聽過 我 是真正在不瞭解 我的生命無法度照我的 命運你 往哪轉 攏無法度去控制 風 若吹 我就飛 不知我會飛到哪 命 運你 往哪轉 攏無法度去控制 風 若吹 我就飛 不知我會飛到哪 朋 友親戚甲厝邊頭尾 生雞蛋的無放雞屎多 一 天到晚攏在冤家 甘著一定愛按呢 有一天我要放捨我一切 免閣整天驚東又驚西 一 定給你無底找 一定給你攏無底可找 |
Notes: The line "my successes are few, my failures are many" is actually the meaning of the Taiwanese idiom used in the line, 生 雞蛋的無放雞屎多. A literal translation of the phrase is, "no fresh eggs, but lots of chicken shit." If that's not an argument against literal translation, I don't know what is.
