小小的时候 爱玩家家酒 你演爱我的女生 我演疼你的男生 演到 我被你爱的 演到 你被我疼的 十指交扣缠绵非测的时候 阿嬷就(口白) Pah! ci'ofil! ca ka paka'eme'emet to 'etol! mamaanay o tilid ko saimelen, lalok sa malakitikiting malakalakalat?! (哎呀,你真是不要脸,就不能克制一下你自己,为什么不是用心的读书,你那么认真的就是在那边牵来牵去,咬来咬去) 其实阿嬷没有恶意 她只是要我们多用心读书 知书达礼才会懂得礼仪 她只是要我们多用心 知书达礼才会知道 君子有情 止乎于礼. 少年的时候 喜欢打棒球 同伴们约在田野间 泥巴上面打棒球 满身大汗沾泥巴 带著污泥走回家 到家的时候 阿嬷就(口白) Yis! kakadit! hato waco, hato diyong kamo! Cowa to ka satamdaw! o sasafaay to fao! (噫嘘!葬兮兮的,你们像狗像猪一样葬,没有人样,连虫都不如,就像低等的动物) 其实阿嬷没恶意 她只是要我们知道做人的道理 人要懂得洁身自爱 不要搞的猪狗不如 邋裡邋遢 神要金装 人要衣装 做鬼也要化妆 年轻的时候 常出外打工 伙伴们每每在下工的时候, 把酒庆功巴格浪 回家的路上 向前三步退两步 偶尔加个呕吐的时候 阿嬷就(口白) Koti' koti' cicuos! mana warak han ko tireng to 'epah?! Ini’inip han ko 'epah mamaanay?! Cedeng cedeng han komaen to 'epah, Ha^emin hanamo a mita'owak, O maan to ko no liyaw?! (活该呀活该!这么贪杯,为何要用酒来毒害身体,小口小口的喝,慢慢的喝,不行吗?全部喝光光,下一次还有什么可以喝?) 其实阿嬷没恶意 她要我们知道刚刚好的快乐 凡事过了头就是迫害 喝得太多也不好 吃得不够也不对 适可而止 刚刚好最好 适可而止 Maden Maden Hey ya yo haiyan, o haiyo hayan, a heiyo hayan.... When I was a youngster, we liked to play house You played the girl who loved me, I played the boy who cared about you We played until you really loved me. We played until I really cared But just when we held hands and felt sentimental Grandma was Feh! you shameless thing! you couldn't control yourself from chubbing up could you?! What about your homework?! Why don't you work as hard on your homework as you get on holding hands and necking?! But Grandma meant well. She only wanted us to apply ourselves Educated and sensible, we would be so proper Grandma only wanted us to be diligent. Once educated we'd know, "A gentleman may have feeling but never trespasses the boundaries of propriety" When I was a teenager, I loved baseball My buddies met out in the fields for a game amid the mud Covered in sweat and grime, I tracked the mud into the house Just as I got home Grandma was Eh! You filthy dogs! You pigs, getting dirty like that, you don't even look human anymore! You are even lower than dirty little bugs! But Grandma meant well. She only wanted us to be decent people To understand hygiene and self care, not to be unkempt animals Deities need jewels. People need clothes Even corpses need nice makeup When I was a youth, I worked away from home. Every time we finished a job My coworkers and I would drink to celebrate and pakelang* I stumbled home three steps forward two steps back, throwing up here and there Just as I got home Grandma was Serves you right, you greedy gulper! Why poison your body with booze?! Wouldn't it be better just to take a few nips? Nurse it slowly. If you guzzle it all down, what will be left to drink later?! But Grandma meant well, she only wanted us to enjoy in moderation In all things, excess is destructive Drinking too much is bad, eating too little not right Know when to stop. It's best to have just the right amount. Stop when it's right: maedeng, maedeng* **pakelang: an 'Amis custom of marking the end of work or ritual with a barbeque and drinks at the ocean **maedeng, maedeng: an 'Amis phrase that means, "just enough is just right"
