"Hug you closely and tightly"

The Concert conference is upcoming soon in July 2009 here at CNU.

In this conference, one of our international team members was assigned to perform a song by Chiang Hui, a very famous Taiwanese singing star. The song is called "Hug you closely and tightly" (Listen this song sung by Chiang Hui here.) Again, I have to take care of the job of translation. Here is the lyrics in Taiwanese, plus the translation:

甲你攬牢牢
作詞：江蕙 作曲：江蕙

我欲甲你攬牢牢 因為驚你半暝啊爬起來哭

I want to hug you closely and tightly.

‘cause I’m afraid you will wake up and cry at midnight.
甲你攬塊心肝頭 乎你對人生袂擱茫渺渺

Hug you in my heart. Let you no longer feel confused about life.

我欲甲你攬牢牢 不免驚驚 驚見笑

I want to hug you closely and tightly.

Don’t fear; don’t be shy.

世事乎人 想袂曉 需要一個肩甲頭

Worldly things are hard for people to understand.

A strong shoulder is needed.

我欲甲你攬牢牢 乎我陪你唱同調

I want to hug you closely and tightly.

Let me accompany you with the same melody.

分擔你的憂 你的愁甲你的哭 哭完心事著無了了

Share your worry, your sorrow, and your cry.

Cry out, and things in heart will turn out to be nothing.

我欲甲你攬牢牢 乎你袂驚袂擱號

I want to hug you closely and tightly.

Let you no more fear and no more cry.

往事放乎空 人生啊才有望 乎我陪你渡難關

Empty all past things, and life will be full of hope.

Let me accompany you through the hard stage.

我欲甲你攬牢牢 不免驚驚 驚見笑

I want to hug you closely and tightly.

Don’t fear; don’t be shy.

世事乎人 想袂曉 你 需要一個肩甲頭
Worldly thing are hard for people to understand.

You need a strong shoulder.

我欲甲你攬牢牢 乎我陪你唱同調

I want to hug you closely and tightly.

Let me accompany you, singing the same melody.

分擔你的憂 你的愁甲你的哭 哭完心事著無了了

Share your worry, your sorrow, and your cry.

Cry out, and things in heart will turn out to be nothing.

我欲甲你攬牢牢 乎你袂驚袂擱號

I want to hug you closely and tightly.

Let you no more fear and no more cry.

往事放乎空 人生啊才有望 乎我陪你渡難關

Empty all past things, and life will be full of hope.

Let me accompany you through the hard stage.

往事放乎空 人生啊才有望 乎我甲你攬緊緊

Empty all past things, and life will be full of hope.

Let me hug you closely and tightly.
