Wind Flower

(One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten… one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten…)
(My Hokkien isn’t that good… I’ll continue learning okay?)
(Haha, don’t say that or I’ll be embarrassed!)

The flowers, and the wind, it’s the world smiling at you isn’t it?

(I like to eat the salted rice that my mother makes.. and the honey chicken wings that my grandma used to make…)
(Things I used to have as a child.)
(Come grandma, let’s walk this way.)
(Take your time, walk slowly.

The rocky roads and the anxiety, you tear up knowing that there were words left unsaid.

(Warmth is) Returning home, knowing that someone is waiting for you

(Warmth is) when the lights are on and we can put food on the table.

We’ll awake in the morning, hearing the birds sing

And when the sun sets we’ll go for a walk by the beach

-

The flowers, and the wind, it’s the world singing to me isn’t it?

是花 是風 是世界對汝笑著無
Sī hue Sī hong Sī sè-kài tuì lí tshiò tio̍h bô

是坎坷 煩惱 是你流淚屎 心肝有話説
Sī khám-khia̍t Sī huân-ló Sī lí lâu ba̍k-sái sim-kuann ū uē kóng

是轉厝有人等我
Sī tńg-chhù ū lâng tán uá

燈開一下 咱有物件食
Ting khui tse lán ū mī-kiānn tsia̍h

早上聼鳥唱歌
Tsá-khí thiann tsiáu tshiùnn kua

暗瞑你陪我去海墘走走
Àm-mî Lí puê uá khì hái-kînn kiânn kiânn

是花 是風 是世界對我笑（唱）著無
Sī hue Sī hong Sī sè-kài tuì uá tshiò （tshiùnn）tio̍h bô
