Translation of the song 阿美！阿美！ artist Wang Mon-Ling

阿美阿美幾時辦嫁妝

A Mei, A Mei, when will you prepare for dowry?

我急得快發狂

I'm so anxious and even insane

今天今天妳要老實講

Today, today you must tell me honestly

我是否有希望

If I can be with you

雖然我是個窮光蛋

Indeed, I'm such a poor wretch

人又長得不怎麼樣

Not looking so handsome

但是妳要想一想

However, you really gotta think

看看自己的長相

Of your very appearance

阿美阿美不要再徬徨

A Mei, A Mei, don't hesitate any more

少女的青春短

Girl's youth is too short

今天今天妳不要倔強

Today, today don't be stubborn

快做我的新娘

Be my bride right now

雖然我沒汽車洋房

Indeed, I have neither a car nor a villa

吃得粗茶又淡飯

Living on bread and water as well

只要妳陪我作伴

However, if you stay with me

包妳白白又胖胖

I guarantee you'll enjoy wealth and honor
