唐山過台灣

[Verse 1]
[Acoustic steel-string guitar, modern bass enters]
落日的海墘 踏著厚厚的霧

看親情斬荒 海面漉漉聲
(khuànn-kīnn tshit tsám hông, hái-bīn lōo-lōo-shiann)
這是新世界 抑是起站茫
(tsit sī sin-sè-kài, ia̍h-sī tshit tshuànn-bâng)

[Tempo increases, energetic rock guitar strumming]
山林內底 有樟腦的香味
(suann-lîm lāi-té, ū tsiunn-lô ê phiong-bī)
钁頭掘落去 每一步攏是血汗
(tû-thâu khut-lo̍h-khì, muí tsit tshun lóng-sī hiat-hān)
庄頭的廟口 點著平安的香火
(tsng-thâu ê biō-kháu, tiám tio̍h pîng-an ê hiong-hué)
