Hokkien Kwa - Ji Pa Ban
A week ago I posted an entry about a hokkien song that I’ve been looking high and low. Thanks to Terence Goh, I managed to get the song and converted it into mp3 format.
The title of the hokkien song is “Ji Pa Ban“.
To listen to the song, simply click on the ZAP button and enjoy!
Updated: Click on the PLAY button instead. ZAP button has been removed.
Sing along if you want to…
Nah sih gua uh ji pa ban, ji pa ban,
Gua uh ji pa ban, jit si lang tio khin san,
Bo khong bo lang jai, kong tio chin pai seh,
Chiak kak hia nih tua hanh. ko mm pat je puey kee,
Pah piah hua chuey ni, bo chia bo chu ko bo ai lin,
Kua lang chua bo ko chuey sing di, wu jii ko wu seng,
Nah si gua wu ji pa ban, wa beh je puey kee,
Wa beh ew seh kai, ha wa ee sai dai yang,
Lit pun chiak su shi (Wa chia li chiak su shi)
Nah si gua wu ji pa ban, wa beh buey chia buey chu,
sang ting ka hai bi, siang lang ka ho kih,
lai hor wa cho bo
I’m quite lost here on the underlined part. Can anyone help?
Nah sih gua uh ji pa ban, ji pa ban,
Nah sih li wu kiam eng jii, khui chui bien keh khi,
Bo khong bo lang jai, kong tio chin pai seh,
Chiak kak hia nih tua hanh. ko mm pat je puey kee,
Pah piah hua chuey ni, bo chia bo chu ko bo ai lin,
Kua lang chua bo ko chuey sing di, wu jii ko wu seng,
Nah si gua wu ji pa ban, wa beh je puey kee,
Wa beh ew seh kai, ee tah li lim ko pi,
Loh pi chiak speh ge ti (Loh pi chiak speh ge ti)
Nah si gua wu ji pa ban, wa beh buey chia buey chu,
Buey tiam lai siu chor, eng eng bien cho kang,
Chua kow ki san por,
Nah sih gua uh ji pa ban, ji pa ban,
Nah sih li wu kiam eng jii, khui chui bien keh khi,
Nah sih gua uh ji pa ban, ji pa ban,
Chap cheng puay cheng teh ki eng,
bien huan ma boh bun tuey (huan chien pu se wen ti)
Nah sih gua uh ji pa ban, ji pa ban…
Wei, peng yu eh, li siong ji pa ban, chin chuay ah?
Just if you’re wondering what the heck is this guy singing about, here’s my DIRECT TRANSLATION, I repeat, DIRECT TRANSLATION from hokkien to English for your listening pleasure.
If I have got one million, one million,
I got one million, my whole life no worries,
Never say nobody knows, say already very shy,
Eat until so big, never sat on a plane before,
Worked so hard for so many years, no car no house and also no lover,
See people get married and do business, got money and got success,
If I have got one million, I wanna sit on a plane,
I wanna explore the world, Hawaii to sun bath,
Japan eat sushi ( treat you eat sushi )
If I have got one million, I wanna buy car buy house,
Eat all the delicacies of the world, who got the good luck,
Be my girl ( thanks to xiaoken@hwz for explaining these two lines )
If I have got one million, one million,
I got one million, my whole life no worries,
Never say nobody knows, say already very shy,
Eat until so big, never sat on a plane before,
Worked so hard for so many years, no car no house and also no lover,
See people get married and do business, got money and got success,
If I have got one million, I wanna sit on a plane,
I wanna explore the world, Italy drink coffee,
Road side eat spaghetti ( road side eat spaghetti )
If I have got one million, I wanna buy car buy house,
Buy shop to collect rent, easy easy no need to work,
Bring dog go for a walk,
If I have got one million, one million,
If you need to borrow money, just open your mouth and ask and no need shy shy,
If I have got one million, one million,
Ten thousand eight thousand take go and use,
No need to pay back also no problem ( pay back money not a problem )
If I have got one million, one million,
Wei friend, you think one million a lot ah?
Hope you all strike lottery and become a millionaire after listening to this tune 
Cheers!!

ur a so farnee!!!
Na si wa uh ji pa ban,
Wa mien ta ta jit ki cho kang,
Tua chu kua TV, chiak hu chi,
Ooo wa ai ji pa ban!!
Heard a friend who played this song on a guitar recently. It’s so gawd damn funny!
Sibeh Funny!!!
Translation:
sang ting ka hai bi
(3 treasures & seafood)
siang lang ka ho kih,
(which person so fortunate)
lai hor wa cho bo
(to become my wife)
LOL… BEST !
damn steadi ah!
best!
well, ah huay basically got it right on the translation, except for a minor part:
“san ting” is not exactly “3 treasures” but “treasures from the mountain”. in other words, “san ting ka hai bi” means “exotic foood from the mountains and seafood” (å±±ç??海味)
super funny. but is it possible to save the mp3 into my comp?can’t find a link..
Bobby Chen da best!
How I think these should be translated:
sang ting ka hai bi
{all the delicacies)
(becuase in Mandarin hanyu pinyin: shan zhen yu hai wei)
Buey tiam lai siu chong
(buy shops to collect rent)
1 word… .HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!!!!!
i tihnk the part where u were lost right…is something about being more generous with treating frens..
You seriously the ah bengest Chow ah beng
very nice song.. really sing out my feelings haha..
is there any way to download?
[…] easons only known to herself. Anyone looking for some entertainment should check out this entry by Galvin Tan (thanks Sting). A real gem of a hokkien song. What would I do if I had a mil […]
Hahahaha. Damn funny song wei!
LoL.. li si bei ho chio sia!
the singaporean dream?!
Nice one. I have the fast version.
Can you send me the song?
Yup.. Heard this song while I was in Genting like 1.5 years ago. Simply LAUGH my head off when my friends and I heard it.
You should go searching for this guy’s MTV. Huang Yi Fei. He’s the singer. His expressions make the song even fUNNIER!
can i have the song too?
i enjoy it
cool man
Thanks people for the correction. I will try to make a copy of this song available for download in a appropriate format. Don’t wanna be sued for piracy :p
hey.. this reminds me of another song..lindy hop ensemble was doing arts outreach in the heartlands one day and they lindy-hopped to hokkien songs. one song stuck in my mind cos their actions were particularly funny..do you happen to have the song ‘wa si superstar’?? searched the pasar malam stalls for the cd but couldnt find it..
thanks!
curio : Don’t think I’ve heard of this song yet. Or maybe I did but never knew the title. Will difinitely try looking out at pasar malam on my side

Once you listen to the song, you should be able to find it in your computer.
Steps:

2. Open My Computer->Tools->Folder Options->View
3. Check “Show hidden files and folders” under “Hidden files and folders” in the Advanced Settings items.
4. Click ok
5. Click your main drive usually C:\ but can be any letter depends on how you set up your computer
6. Documents and Settings->Your USERID on this computer->Local Settings->Temporary Internet Files.
7. Scroll to the bottom on this new page, copy the song and paste it anyway you want. I got the song this way
I love the song… please send it to me! Any other Hokkien oldies too… lovely nostalgia and angsty humour!
Hi May I know who is the singer or what is the album?
