芋仔粄

作詞：鍾永豐
作曲：林生祥

客語：
揚尾仔，飛過崗
姆媽介心，有芋六七行
崁腳下，水自流
芋荷撐涼，竹雞仔畏羞

七月半，禾打扮
新芋刷簽，姆媽恁善辦
蓬萊米，磨出漿
料齊肉靚，蝦米菣蔥香

七月半，禾打扮
姆媽慶手，大灶蒸芋粄
廳下里，敬先祖
芋香桊鼻，好兄弟渡孤

揚尾仔，飛過崗
姆媽介心，望子歸來嘗
芋仔粄，賁年年
像石磧船，行穩又行遠

華語:
蜻蜓，飛過崗
阿母的心，有芋六七行
崁腳下，水自流
芋荷撐涼，竹雞害羞

七月半，禾打扮
阿母善辦，新芋刷成簽
蓬萊米，磨出漿
料齊肉靚，蝦米爆蔥香

七月半，禾打扮
阿母麻利，大灶蒸芋粄
祖廳裡，敬先祖
芋香勾鼻，好兄弟渡孤

蜻蜓，飛過崗
阿母的心，望子歸來嘗
芋仔粄，厚年年
像石壓船，行穩又行遠

English:
Fireflies flying across the ridges
In the furrows of a mother's heart, there's six or seven rows of taro
Under the dikes the water flows
The taros enjoy the cool, and their leaves hide the partridges

In the middle of July the rice sprouts dress themselves up
Mother knows well how to shave the new taros into spears
The Penglai rice, milled and kneaded to a paste
Together with pork, shrimp, and onions fried for their fragrant taste

In the middle of July the rice sprouts put on their fancy clothes
Mother's steps are quick, taro dumplings are steaming on the earthen stove In the yard, pay respects to the ones who came before us
The taro's sweet smell links us, carrying back those who have crossed into the beyond

Fireflies flying to across the ridges
A mother's heart frets about whether her son will return to taste this
Sticky taro dumplings as thick as the years that pass
Heavy as a stone ballast, steadying the ship as it moves into the distance
