"En̂-têu Kîm-ngit Lòi So-mu" -- Liau Tet-thiâm [客家話]

1.
En̂-têu kîm-ngit lòi so-mu,
Chhong-kô chan-mî kám-chhia Chú;
Su-kiên van-vu̍t Sùn chhóng-chho,
Ya kiung ên-têu li̍t-thoi chú.

2.
En̂-têu kîm-ngit lòi so-mu,
Hia̍p-li̍t kot-chhó fe̍t chhán-thú;
Sùn-sîm sùn-yi lòi ki-ngiam,
Yàng-ko sâm-sên lâu mìn-khu.

3.
Kîm-ngit lòi-to fùn-mu chhièn,
Thai-kâ yím-súi oi sû-ngièn;
Hau-kin fu-mû he Chú-hiun,
Kin-pai Thiên Fu yin vì-siên.

4.
Kîm-ngit lòi-to fùn-mu chhièn,
Chhiòn-kâ súm-chúng yu tûi-yén;
Li̍p-sûn hàng-tho yùng-yeu Sùn,
Chho-fuk ngìn-khiùn kien lo̍k-yèn.

English:

As we come to sweep the grave, we meet God with thanks and praise.
He who does all things renew, did make our ancestors, too.

As we come to sweep the tomb, cut the grass and turn the earth,
thankfully here we recall, our ancestors in God's hall.

Meeting here before the tomb, this is not a time of gloom.
Parents taught us of the Lord, steeped us in God's holy word.

In the grave-yard where we stand, as a fam'ly hand in hand,
glory give to God above, who receives us all in love.

Toh chi̍t ê Lô-má-jī ê siá-hoat sī siōng hó? 羅馬字

Lán lâi khòaⁿ toh-chi̍t-ê Lô-má-jī ê siá-hoat sī siōng hó. Góa siūⁿ Kàu-hōe ê POJ sī siōng hó.

1. POJ bó-im khah se̍k-ha̍p só͘-ū ê khiuⁿ.

POJ: chò-hóe ~ chòe-hé
Ū-sî teh iōng "o", á-sī "oe", á-sī "e". Só͘-í khah se̍k-ha̍p iōng "o" kap "e" ha̍p-chò-hóe. Khah kán-tan, iā khah chheng-chhó.

[MOE khah bô se̍k-ha̍p -- tsò-hué ~ tsuè-hé --- In-uī MOE se̍k-ha̍p chi̍t ê khiuⁿ, niā-niā. Nā iōng MOE, ài iōng khah-chē jī siá bô kang ê khiuⁿ : "o", "ue", "e"]

2. POJ chú-im
Koh POJ iōng ê chú-im "chh" pí MOE iōng ê "tsh" mā khah chheng-chhó. POJ ê chú-im ê siá-hoat hō͘ kám-kak sī chi̍t ê im, niā-niā.

MOE "tsh" khòaⁿ--khì-lâi sī saⁿ ê chú-im. Chit khoán ê siá-hoat khah bô chheng-chhó.

3. POJ ê bó-im kap chin-chiáⁿ ê siaⁿ khah kīn.

• Nā iōng POJ siá tit kap tek ê "i" kap "e", kóng--chhut-lâi ū-iáⁿ sī bô kang--ê.
Put-kò MOE ē lóng siá "i" -- tit , tik

4. MOE ê bó-im khah ē hō͘ si̍p-koàn iōng Eng-gí ê lâng tha̍k Tâi-gí, ē tiāⁿ-tiāⁿ tha̍k-m̄-tio̍h.

• "Keng," chit jī ê hoat-im kap Eng-gí ê "ing" mā-sī bô kang-khoán.
Put-kò MOE lóng sī teh iōng "ing"

• Eng-gí phó͘-tóng teh iōng ê "oo" kap Tâi-gí ê "o͘" chit ê siaⁿ sī bô kang-khoán. Eng-gí siá "oo" ê siaⁿ khah sêng Tâi-gí iōng ê "u" á-sī Hôa-gí iōng ê ㄜ ，ㄨ
Put-kò MOE teh iōng "oo". Nā iōng POJ ê "o͘", siaⁿ hun khah chheng-chhó.

NOTE: Khai-sí o̍h "tsē" pí "chē" ê siaⁿ ū khó-lêng khah kín tō chai àn-chóaⁿ tha̍k. M̄-kú í-aū tō khah ho̍k-cha̍p. In-ūi nā iōng "ts", tio̍h ài iōng "tsh". Koh "ts" bô se̍k-ha̍p siá "tsia̍h" ; "chia̍h" khah hó. Só͘-í "chh, ch, chhi, chi, j, ji" pí "tsh, ts, tshi, tsi, j, ji" koh khah hó--chi̍t-sut-a. One must be balanced. A perfect match to English would create a profusion of letters. It is better that, like Korean, Taiwanese has closer to one sound corresponding to one letter unit.

繁體字、簡體字攏毋是台灣字

蔣為文/台灣羅馬字協會 榮譽理事長


最近馬英九發表「識正書簡」的言論引發各界的撻伐。藍營人士認為繁體字（或所謂的正體字）才是中國文字的正統，綠營人士則認為使用繁體字才能與簡體字區隔以維持台灣的獨特性。

事實上，不論繁體字或簡體字，它都是中國文字，不是台灣文字。台灣人最早使用的是羅馬字（俗稱新港文及白話字）而不是漢字！藍營人士擁抱繁體字不過是欺騙自己，不敢面對中國共產黨統治中國的事實，只為滿足阿Q心中虛幻的中國文化正統！綠營人士「看人食米粉teh喊燒」誤以為只要使用繁體字就可以建立台灣文化的主體性。這些用詞咄咄逼人的政客卻沒注意，不論繁體字或簡體字，它們書寫的都是兩邊互通的華語。相形之下，具台灣主體性與文化代表性的本土語言諸如台語、客語及原住民族語，在外來種華語的侵襲下，都已面臨將比北極熊及貓熊提早消失的困境。請問綠營人士，台灣文化的主體性是要靠繁體字嗎？漢字文化圈的周遭國家韓國與越南，為凸顯本土文化的代表性，紛紛選擇廢漢字。台灣呢？

Behind You

One day, when we get old,
when we can't find people to take care of us,
I'll sit next to you on the bench,
listen to your endeavors from your younger days.
It doesn't matter whether we have fancy meals,
neither do we know to blame luck or people.
Your hand, I'll hold it tight,
because I am always behind you.

I spent the best time of my life, married to you in a family.
I followed you from young to old.
Life's stories, I have seem them all,
who else is more important than you?
I dedicated my life to a family,
only to find out that happiness comes with its ups and downs.
When the time of departure comes,
I'd let you go first...
because I cannot hold the thought that...
I'd leave you in tears for me.

One day, when we get old,
and our children are there for us,
if you get bored, let us go over our picture albums,
and check out how handsome you were at our wedding.
It doesn't matter whether we have fancy clothes,
neither do we know to blame anything.
Your heart, I'll always keep it on my mind,
because I am always behind you.

I spent the best time of my life, married to you in a family.
I followed you from young to old.
Life's stories, I have seen them all,
who else is more important than you?
I dedicated my life to a family,
only to find out that happiness comes with its ups and downs.
When the time of departure comes,
You should let me go first...
because I cannot hold the thought that...
I'd see you in tears for me.
