Translation of the song 天黑黑 artist Teresa Teng

Taiwanese Hokkien

天黑黑

English translation

It's Dark

天黑黑欲落雨,

It's dark and gonna rain,

阿公仔舉鋤頭欲掘芋,

Grandpa wields a hoe to dig taro.

掘啊掘,掘啊掘,

Dig and dig, dig and dig,

掘著一尾旋鰡鼓,

He digs out a loach.

咿呀嘿嘟 真正趣味。

Ah, that's so funny.

阿公仔欲煮鹹,

Grandpa wants to cook so salty,

阿嬤欲煮淡,

But grandma doesn't like it.

倆個相扑來弄破鼎,

So they fight and then break the pot,

咿呀嘿嘟隆咚叱咚嗆,

Clang, clang, rumble!

哇哈哈。

Wow, haha!
