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


阿姆掌灶下
阿爸冇閒歸屋清
阿婆天井Chee殺雞鴨


想到碛年錢 (碛 zad)
年年拿著吂用著 (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
聲聲打出壯Ngai膽
冇膽小膽變大膽
 

砲聲入夢中
三更半夜到天光
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.
