台灣舊曆年

I missed 「台灣舊曆年」a lot. I have not done it since 1968.
 

台灣舊曆年
甜粄發粄菜頭粄
新衫燒香拜天公


阿姆灶下
阿爸冇閒屋清
阿婆天井Chee雞鴨


想到年錢 ( zad)
年年拿吂用 (年年空)
阿姆收去買纸筆 (阿姆留來缴學費 or 阿姆收轉等明年)
 

記得放纸砲
又驚又好麼係點 (冇膽又驚又好點)
砲聲連連人爽快 (人,正,當,盡)
 

聽到纸砲聲
聲聲打出Ngai
冇膽小膽變大膽
 

砲聲入夢中
半夜到天光
日夜不時想家鄉

Yes, I missed Taiwan, my motherland very very very much.

  2. Dear a-Ion,

    Nice poems to remind us of the old happy and familiar days of memory.

    族群就是記憶体, keep on writing poems in Hakka for record and for

    our coming generations as a life history.
