I posted this hokkien song (ai piah jia eh iah) back in November last year and I had a good time singing along to it ever since. It’s good to know that I’m able to share this song with my hokkien lang. More people are singing to it now and I have proof.

It doesn’t matter if you’re keh lang(hakka) or kong hu lang(cantonese), keh leng kia lang (indian) or thng lang(chinese), char bo lang(women) or tah por lang(men) ; if you can sing this song, WE ARE KAKI LANG! (same clan, same team, same member like brother and sister … LOL)

Here’s the snip-it of the lyrics:

na tang sit khi hi bang
那 怕 失 去 希 望
If there’s no hope,

mui dit chui bang bang
每 日 醉 茫 茫
Whole day just go get drunk

bo hun uu the chin cheu eu chow lang
无 魂 有 体 亲 像 稻 草 人
No more soul, but got body just like a scarecrow

lin sin ko tee si hai seong eh por luong
人 生 可 比 是 海 上 的 波 浪
Life is just like an ocean’s wave

wu si khi wu shi lo
有 时 起 有 时 落
Sometimes up sometimes down

ho un phai un
好 运 歹 运
Good forture bad fortune

chong mai ciao ki kang lai kia
总 嘛 要 照 起 来 行
Just accept and get thru it

sa hun thi ju tia
三 分 天 注 定
3 points it’s destined

chit hun khor pa pia
七 分 靠 打 拼
7 points you just gotta fight hard

ai piah jia eh iah
爱 拼 才 会 赢
You gotta fight, then you can win
