刺蝟悲歌
Tshì Uī Pi Kua
Hedgehog
(Hedgehog’s Lament)

歌：青虫
作詞：黃如琦 ╱ 作曲：黃如琦

Artist: aoi
Lyrics & Music: Jeannie H


一步一步　接近你　是自然　是身不由己
日日夜夜　思念你　每一暝　攏想欲夢著你
一擺一擺　傷害你　真失禮　我毋是刁故意
若是鬥陣顛倒無歡喜　不如放手

tsı̍t pōo tsı̍t pōo    tsiap-kīn lí    sī tsū‑liân    sī sin-put-iû-kí
jı̍t-jı̍t-iā-iā    su-liām lí    muí tsı̍t mî    lóng siūnn-beh bāng tio̍h lí
tsı̍t pái tsı̍t pái    siong-hāi lí    tsin sit-lé    guá m̄ sī tiau-kòo-ì
nā-sī tàu-tīn tian-tò bô huann-hí    put-lû pàng-tshiú

Step by step I get closer to you, it’s natural, it’s unconscious
Day and night I long for you, every night I want to dream of you
Time and again I’ve hurt you; I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to
If it turns out being together brings no joy, we might as well let go

咱的愛親像兩隻刺蝟　倚傷近袂輸針咧揻
離傷遠又閣爍爍顫　不得已只好來分開
咱的愛親像兩隻刺蝟　鬥陣的歡喜總是有限
痛苦的感覺袂輸永遠　扯扯咧才是咱的圓滿

lán ê ài tshan-tshiūnn nn̄g tsiah tshì-uī    uá siunn kīn buē-su tsiam teh ui
lī siunn hn̄g iū-koh sih-sih tsùn    put-tik-í tsí-hó lâi hun-khui
lán ê ài tshan-tshiūnn nn̄g tsiah tshì-uī    tàu-tīn ê huann-hí tsóng--sī iú-hān
thòng-khóo ê kám-kak buē-su íng-uán    tshé-tshé--leh tsiah-sī lán ê uân-buán

Our love is much like two hedgehogs, too close we’re like needles piercing
Too far apart we shiver; we have no choice but to part
Our love is much like two hedgehogs, the joy of being together still has limits
The sense of suffering feels like forever; to be complete we must pull apart

咱的愛親像一條悲歌　音樂那奏心那疼
過去的甜蜜袂輸電影　放煞就好清醒啦
咱的愛親像一條悲歌　音樂那奏心那疼
幸福愈唱是愈細聲　不如放手

lán ê ài tshan-tshiūnn tsı̍t liâu pi kua    im-ga̍k ná tsàu sim ná thiànn
kuè-khì ê tinn-bı̍t buē-su tiān-iánn    hòng-suah tio̍h hó tshing-tshínn--lah
lán ê ài tshan-tshiūnn tsı̍t liâu pi kua    im-ga̍k ná tsàu sim ná thiànn
hīng-hok jú tshiùnn sī jú suè-siann    put-lû pàng-tshiú

Our love is much like a sad song, hearts ache as the music plays
The sweetness of the past is like a movie, when it’s over we should wake up
Our love is much like a sad song, hearts ache as the music plays
The more it sings the more contentment grows quiet; we might as well let go

咱的愛親像兩隻刺蝟　倚傷近袂輸針咧揻
離傷遠又閣爍爍顫　不得已只好來分開
咱的愛親像兩隻刺蝟　鬥陣的歡喜總是有限
痛苦的感覺袂輸永遠　扯扯咧才是咱的圓滿
咱的愛親像一條悲歌　音樂那奏心那疼
幸福愈唱愈細聲　心愛的就此再會啦

lán ê ài tshan-tshiūnn nn̄g tsiah tshì-uī    uá siunn kīn buē-su tsiam teh ui
lī siunn hn̄g iū-koh sih-sih tsùn    put-tik-í tsí-hó lâi hun-khui
lán ê ài tshan-tshiūnn nn̄g tsiah tshì-uī    tàu-tīn ê huann-hí tsóng--sī iú-hān
thòng-khóo ê kám-kak buē-su íng-uán    tshé-tshé--leh tsiah-sī lán ê uân-buán
lán ê ài tshan-tshiūnn tsı̍t liâu pi kua    im-ga̍k ná tsàu sim ná thiànn
hīng-hok jú tshiùnn jú suè-siann    sim-ài--ê tsiū tshú tsài-huē--lah

Our love is much like two hedgehogs, too close we’re like needles piercing
Too far apart we shiver; we have no choice but to part
Our love is much like two hedgehogs, the joy of being together still has limits
The sense of suffering feels like forever; to be complete we must pull apart
Our love is much like a sad song, hearts ache as the music plays
The more it sings the more contentment grows quiet; to my beloved I should now say goodbye


Notes

I use Tailo romanization. If you’re used to POJ: ts(h) = ch(h), ing = eng, u + a/e/ai = o + a/e/ai, oo = o͘, nn = ⁿ
