順風歌
你今天就要遠航了呀
家裡的泥土井水戴上了嗎？
願你不忘故土飲水思源
願你一帆風順安全渡洋
你今天就要離開了呀
家裡的糖水雞蛋吃下了嗎？
願你逢凶化吉甜蜜圓滿
願你興旺發達衣錦還鄉
家鄉人稠耕地荒
南洋興業海浩瀚
造舟出海以命換
六死三留一回鄉
送你出洋
盼你回鄉
願你健康
Song for Favorable Winds
Today, you embark on a long voyage
Do you have with you the soil and water from home?
May you never forget homeland and remember where you’re from
May you the wind fill your sails to safely cross the ocean
Today, you depart
Have you eaten the sweet egg from home?
May your misfortunes turn to luck, sweet and full
May you prosper and flourish, returning home in silken robes
In the homeland, the people are many and the fields barren
Across the South Sea, opportunities abound and the ocean is vast
Build a boat and head to sea, with blood we trade for
Six to die, three to live, one to return home
Sending you to sea
Hoping you return home
Wishing you health
