Hokkien song: I Ask Heaven (我问天)

Lyrics:

Hong ya jin siew ki
Hor ya jin siew ki
Ki wan a ye bo ji ki
Ai ya siow si ki , Qin go lai ta bin
Seo li seo li m zai wu sia yi yi
Si ge te tam tia
To wei wu li ye siao si
Wa ye kam qing bo li Bang ga si si


Chorus:

Wa meng ti Wa meng ti
Kam ye tang mai chong di
Go zai ai li
Jik moi si wa ka ki

Wa meng ti Wa meng Ti
Kam ye tang mai chong di
Sio bei bang bui ki
Wa bu di bu kam zui zab ni

Kun gua a hor
Kam kong si lan yin ye lui
M guan bin dui heng sit mang tiong zui zap ni

*Repeat

Translation


The wind is furious
The rain is also furious
Furious of me for being useless
When I thought love has gone forever
Another love comes and entangle
Thinking of you becoming meaningless

Oh, I ask Heaven, I ask Heaven
Don’t disturb me, please, oh, don’t, Heaven
My love still exist, and I’m the one who who get the torture

Oh, I ask Heaven, I ask Heaven
But Heaven still want to make fun of me further
I try to forget thee, so I get drunk and drunk daily
Look out at the window, I can see raindrops falling

I can’t differentiate it’s rain or my tears, will you tell me?
The pain will follow me wherever I go, even in my dreams

(continue with the chorus – I ask Heaven, I ask Heaven, so on and so forth..hope you are okay after reciting, can still differentiate between rain and tears….)
