Lyrics

Southern Min by Chinese TLPA Translation
雨夜花,雨夜花,受風雨吹落地。無人看見,每日怨慼,花謝落塗不再回。 Ú iā hue, ú iā hue, siū hong-ú tshue lo̍h tuē; bô lâng khuànn-kìnn, muí-ji̍t uàn-tsheh, hue siā lo̍h-thôo put-tsài huê.
花落塗,花落塗,有啥人通看顧?無情風雨,誤阮前途,花蕊若落欲如何? Hue lo̍h thô͘, Hue lo̍h thô͘, ū siánn lâng thang khùann kò͘? Bô chêng hong hō͘ gō͘ guán chêng tô͘, Hue lúi ná boh lû hô?
雨無情,雨無情,無想阮的前程。並無看顧,軟弱心性,予阮前途失光明。 Hō͘ bô chêng, hō͘ bô chêng, bô siūnn guán ê chêng tîng khùann kò͘ nńg lio̍h sim sèng, hō͘ goán chêng sit kong-bên
雨水滴,雨水滴,引阮入受難池。怎樣予阮,離葉離枝,永遠無人通看見。 Hō͘ tsúi tih, hō͘ tsúi tih, ín guán ji̍p lân tî. Chúann iūnn hō͘ guán, lī ia̍p lī ki éng oán bô lâng thang khùann- kìnn.
