作曲 (Composer)：伍佰

人生的风景 亲像大海的风涌
lâng-seng ê hong-ke, chhin-chhiūn tāi-hái ê hong-iōng
Life's scenery is like the wind surging in the sea,

有时猛 有时平 亲爱朋友你着小心
ū-sî mêng, ū-sî pêng, chhin-ài phêng-iú lí tio sio-sim
Sometimes fierce, sometimes calm, dear friend, be careful.

人生的环境 乞食嘛会出头天
lâng-seng ê huan-king, khik-tsia̍h mā ē chhut-thâu-thinn
Life's environment, even beggars may have their day.

莫怨天 莫尤人 命顺命歹拢是一生
mak uân-thian, mak iû-lâng, bēng sun-bēng tai lóng sī chi̍t-seng
Blame not the heavens, blame not others, good or bad fortune, it's all part of life.

一杯酒 二角银 三不五时嘛来凑阵
tsi̍t-poe chió, jī-kuah gîn, saⁿ put gōo sî mā lâi chháu-tsìnn
One cup of wine, two pieces of silver, now and then, let's gather together.

若要讲 博感情 我是世界第一等
nā beh kóng, puah kám-chêng, guá sī sè-kài ê tē-it-téng
If we're talking about feelings, I'm the best in the world.

是缘份 是注定 好汉剖腹来参见
sī îⁿ-hun, sī chu-tèng, hó-ông phàu-hok lâi sam-kìn
It's fate, it's destiny, brave men come forward even at the cost of their lives.

呒惊风 呒惊涌 有情有义好兄弟
m̄ kiann-hong, m̄ kiann-iōng, ū-tsîng ū-gi̍t hó hiaⁿ-ti
Even amidst storms and surges, true brothers stand together.

短短的光阴 七桃着趁少年时
tuann-tuann ê kong-iân, chhit-tô tio chhàn sio-liân-sî
In the short time of youth, make the most of it.

求名利 无了时 千金难买好人生
khîu-miâ li, bô-liáu-sî, thiàn-kim lān bé hó lâng-seng
Seeking fame and fortune is endless, but a good life is priceless.
