我愛雨夜花
S.H.E Lyrics

彼條菅芒比人高的路彎彎曲曲通到山腳
The winding road that's taller than the plants, leads all the way down to the foot of the mountain.

山腳有一個庄　阿公就住置彼
At the foot of the mountain lies a village, where my grandpa resides.

青味青味的竹林常常攏嘛隨風底唱歌　咪嗦啦　咪嗦啦
The emerald bamboo forest hums along with the wind, going 'mi si la, mi si la' often.

不知影圓仔花為什麼四季攏嘛咧開滿山
Oh, what could be the reason that the round flowers bloom incessantly, all year round on this vast land?

甘講這有世外桃源的土跟天堂來的沙
Some say the soil here is like Shangri-La, and the sand is from heaven.

舊柪舊柪的厝瓦　一直保護阿公阿嬤　阿公自己改編的歌　伊唱乎我聽
The old tiles on our house have always shielded and sheltered my grandparents. Grandpa's now singing me a rendition of his own song.

這條歌陪我到大漢　常常哼著伊唱也唱袂煞
I've been humming this same tune since childhood till now, and I still can't seem to get enough of it.

希望你同款會凍睛足聽　愛珍惜　這個聲
I hope you'll find it as mesmerizing and cherish this sound, just like I do.

這條歌陪我一直到大漢　常常哼著伊唱也唱袂煞
This song has accompanied me all the way till today, and I still never tire from humming it.

雖然講世界不時在變化　嘛是愛這條歌
Despite the constant changes in this world, my love for this song always remains the same.

(雨夜花　雨夜花)袂娶某　袂娶某　娶到一個呆大摳　脖子黑黑　目睛凸凸　親像火車煙囪管
(Rainy Night Flowers, Rainy Night Flowers), I won't marry anyone, I won't settle down with someone like that, someone with a thick neck, protruding eyes that resemble a train chimney.

逐次返到這個所在我習慣脫赤腳　脫赤腳哪走哪迄逃置底軟軟土的田岸
Every time I return to this place, I always take my shoes off and walk on the soft soil of the paddy fields, just like I used to.

蝴蝶蝴蝶翩翩飛阿飛飛阿飛引我想欲抓　這藏有我囝仔時存的笑聲
The butterflies flutter by, teasing me to catch them. It brings back the memories of my childish laughter, my dear childhood that's long gone.

大樹邊的一條溪流流流過陡陡的山壁　溪凍水也清照著天照著白雲哪像水鏡
The stream beside the big tree cascades over the steep mountain cliff, the frigid water reflecting the sky and white clouds like a mirror.

釣幾尾啊沒魚嘛有蝦　起火烤烤來吃　哪吃哪換阿嬤　唱歌乎阮聽
Although I only caught a few shrimp and no fish, but we still grill them over our bonfire and eat them fresh. Then, it's grandma's turn to sing us a song.

原來置怹的年代　(欲娶某欲嫁尪~)　不曾有自由的戀愛　(等到有一天~)
In the olden days, we never had the freedom to love whoever we wanted, and we had to listen to our parents when it came to marrying someone.

嫁娶攏聽父母的安排　(原來~)　這就是怹彼個年代　(彼個年代~)
Our marriages were all arranged by our parents, and that's just how it was back then, during those times.
