29. 樹公仔 Grandpa Tree (bilingual children's poem)
8. 樹公仔
樹公仔上界爽勢
無愛佮別人相借問
一句話攏無愛講
老神在在徛佇遐
看橋跤溪水直直咧流
看橋頂汽車人陣咧吵鬧
予人臆袂出伊是咧想啥
但是樹公仔界專情
獨獨對風媽有感情
便若風媽佇遠遠來欲揣伊開講
伊就開始搖來搖去準備歡迎的形
風媽到位伊就現出歡喜的形四界搖
搖到無暝無日
假若痟的閣一直那嘎嘎叫袂停
Grandpa Tree
Grandpa Tree is an arrogant guy
Nobody can get him to look at them
He never says anything
He stays quiet as he stands there
Looking at the bridge over the flowing water
Watching for heavy traffic
Nobody knows what he’s thinking about
But Grandpa Tree is faithful in love
He only adores talking with Grandma Wind
When Grandma Wind is coming
He gets very excited
Waving his arms and stamping his feet
He cannot stop chattering away joyfully
He sounds like a madman as he yells happily
