5, 果子佮其他---臺英雙語童詩

[李秀]

蓮霧 / 鈴噹仔
一葩一葩粉紅仔色的鈴噹仔
上愛揣風共伊叮噹響袂煞
但是我上愛恬恬靜靜過活
無愛風共我吵吵鬧鬧


葡萄 / 玻璃珠仔
一粒一粒愛耍的玻璃珠仔
上愛輾來輾去走袂停
但是我慣勢佮兄弟姐妹倚靠作伙
無愛予人輾來閣輾過去傷我的精神

西瓜 / 大皮球
一粒一粒愛走跳的大皮球
上愛揣人共伊拍來拍去
但是我欣羨予人扶來扶去
無愛隨在予人踏過來閣踏過去

揚桃 / 星
一个一个愛出風頭的星
上愛懸懸掛佇天頂閃熠
但是我佮意予人清芳退火
無愛懸懸掛佇天頂予人摸袂著

Fruits and others

Bell Apple / Bells
A string of small pink bells
Look for the wind to make the sound of ding dong
But I actually like peaceful quiet
I don’t need the wind to ding dong

Grapes / Marbles
A group of playful marbles
Like the noise of pushing back and forth
But we have always stay near each other
Keeping silently softly together

Watermelon / Ball
A big mischievous ball
Looks forward to being bounced
But I just like to stay cool
I don’t want to be bounced and like to be patted instead

Star fruit / Stars
A series of stars are always showing off
Hanging high in the sky
But I only want to feel good
I don’t want to show off in the sky
