12, 鳥暗的雲---臺英雙語童詩

[李秀]

鳥暗的雲
今仔日是安怎遮爾無閑
敢若有啥物大代誌欲發生
今仔日是安怎無穿彼領白媠衫
敢是你阿母提去洗

鳥暗的雲
你是不是予老爸天公伯仔處罰
無快活所以顯出黑暗的面腔
拜託你莫受氣今仔日是我的生曰
我有足濟朋友相招欲來阮兜蹉跎

哦！原來你是欲去耍水
你實在無介好參詳
你看你潑水潑到滿四界
阮會予你害到悽慘落魄
我的生日就無啥咪心適了

Grey clouds!
Why you are so busy today?
Is a big event happening?
Why didn’t you wear your beautiful white robe today?
Is it possible your mother took it away?

Gray clouds!
Are you being punished by your father?
Are you so mad that you show your miserable face?
Please don’t be angry, today is my birthday
I have many friends visiting me to celebrate

Oh! I see, you want to play with water
You are not a good listener
Look! You not only flood the world
But you also make us very wet
And now my birthday will not be happy
