今夜阮有一個夢　想欲對你講　想欲對你講坦白 
Tonight I have a dream,  
With to tell you, With to tell you frankly, 
今夜阮有一條歌　不知按怎唱乎你聽﹖不知按怎唱乎你聽﹖ 
Tonight I have a song,  
Do not know how to sing for you, 
Not knowing how to sing for you and listen to me! 
耶　吉他輕輕來彈起　心情親像船一隻 
Ya! Slightly playing with guitar,  
Sentiment just like a boat, 
慢慢出港作伊去　慢慢出港作伊去 
Sailing and leave the harbor to chase after you, 
Sailing and leave the harbor to chase after you, 
無情的是你　無緣的阮名字　今夜阮有一條歌 
You are so indulgent, My name called no fate; Tonight I have a song, 
怎樣﹖怎樣﹖怎樣唱乎你聽﹖ 
How? How? Am I singing for you to listen to me?
