家后

有一日咱若老　
找无人甲咱有孝
我会陪你坐惦椅寮　
听你讲少年的时袸你有外摮

食好食歹无计较　
怨天怨地嘛袂晓
你的手　我会甲你牵条条　
因为我是你的家后

阮将青春嫁置恁兜　
阮对少年随你随甲老
人情世事已经看透透　
有啥人比你卡重要

阮的一生献乎恁兜　
才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
等待返去的时袸若到　
我会让你先走
因为我会不甘　
放你　为我目屎流

有一日咱若老　
有媳妇子儿有孝
你若无聊　拿咱的相片　
看卡早结婚的时袸你外缘投

穿好穿歹无计较　
怪东怪西嘛袂晓
你的心　我着永远记条条　
因为我是你的家后

阮将青春嫁置恁兜　
阮对少年随你随甲老
人情世事已经看透透　
有啥人比你卡重要

阮的一生献乎恁兜　
才知幸福是吵吵闹闹
等待返去的时袸若到　
你着让我先走
因为我会不甘　
看你　为我目屎流

English #1 – Be your lady

One day we’re getting older.
If nobody would accompany us,
and then I would sit beside you
to listen your heroic story of youth.

I don’t mind the essentials.
I don’t like to complain anything.
I will always hold your hands tightly,
because I have been your lady.

We got married when I was young.
I’ve been with you from then till now
I’ve seen the world clearly.
Nobody is more important in life than you.

I’ve spend my whole life for you
and understood happiness is in the small things.
If one day God bear us to leave,
I would let you go first,
because I can’t bare
to let you have tears for me.

One day we’re getting older.
If we had kids and relatives.
You’d review our photos when you were bored
to see the time how handsome you are.

I don’t care about my appearance.
I don’t like to argue with someone.
Your love always is in my heart.
because I have been your lady.

We got married when I was young.

I’ve spend my whole life for you
and understood happiness is in the small things.
If one day God bear us to leave,
You would let me go first,
because I can’t bare
to watch you having tears for me.

English #2 – Wife

If there is no any our posterity to show filial obedience to us at our old age,
I will sit on the chair silently to accompany you , listening to you to describe how great you were when we were young.
Whether we are rich or not, I will never complain to you.
I will hold you tightly until forever because I am your wife.

I married you when I were a young woman and I has depended on you from youth to now.
thorough understanding about worldly wisdom
there is no person more important than you to me in this world.
I has spent my whole life on taking care of our family
to understand what happiness is with you

When it’s time for us to face the death,I wish I would be the latter to die because it pains me to see you cry for me.
