I appreciate the use of ‘您’ a respectful term for ‘you’, to show respect for the father here.
伊是阮老爸 My Dad
詞：謝誌豪
曲：蕭煌奇
漂丿少年家 看相片沒幾歲
Drifting into my teenage house, see photographs not many years old
頭鬃 西裝 齊齊
Hair, Western-style suit, neat & tidy
幾十年日子攏按呢過
Almost ten years, gathered and pressed together have passed
身邊老伴陪
By one’s side, a companion (usually said of an elderly couple)
雖然真嚴格 有時會講笑虧
Although truly strict, sometimes would lecture into a ironic smile
上驚 伊發 性地
Self-actualizing, taking initiative, natural disposition
我的記誌中甲伊沒講幾句話
Within my marked memory, those words that weren’t said
其實想欲 陪伊飲一杯茶
Actually (I) long to accompany you for a drink of tea
啊~ 惦惦為著家 風雨吹 伊是阮老爸
A~ remembering for the sake of this house, trials and hardships, He is my dad
看伊吃的穿的攏嘛沒外多
Watching what he eats, wears – gathered together it’s not much
早頓一碗粥 若出門一雙鞋
Morning a bowl of congee, leaves home with one pair of shoes
甘有好好照顧您身體
Want you to take care of your body
啊~ 頭鬃漸漸白 風中吹 伊是阮老爸
A~ Hair gradually whitening, in the middle of wind, He is my dad
若無伊來牽咧阮會飛去對
If he didn’t keep it together (we) would all fall apart
幸運阮一個 阮不是沒人的
Fortunately, I’m not alone/He wasn’t a nobody
感謝天地 感謝阮老爸
Thank heavens, thank you my dad
我不愛讀冊 煩惱阮做什貨
I don’t like studying, worry about how to make money
上驚 沒伊 來找
Self-actualization, missing him , lacking
離開那一暝甲伊沒講幾句話
Departing that darkness, if those words weren’t said
其實想欲 陪伊講天講地
Actually (I) desire to talk with you until the end of time
[Repeat Chorus]
啊~ 來寫ㄧ張批 寄乎您 親愛的老爸
A~ Come write a whole batch to recognize you, cherished old man (dad).
您的一片苦心阮會凍體會
Your painstaking experience will be frozen
男子漢一個 大聲講這句話
Manliest man, loudly saying this phrase
感謝天地 感謝阮老爸
Thank heavens, thank you my dad
