The "Million Dollar" Song
This Hokkien song titled “One Million Dollar” is solid. It can be heard on http://blog.galvintan.com/?p=97. No Bluff. Try and listen. There is no harm. Hear it for yourself but the result will be better if you understand “Hokkien”
When I was small, no one spoke to me in Cantonese. I seldom visit my father’s side relative and therefore even though my dialect is Cantonese, I can’t even speak or even understand a full Cantonese sentence. But nevertheless, I believe Cantonese itself is a beautiful language, unlike Hokkien who is more coarse and vulgar.
There was this time when I got nothing better to do and bought a Lonely Planet Cantonese Book to learn/practice on the language. But after some time, I realized even if I put in my best effort, there is no one to correct me if the tone is not right. And even if I master the language, I can’t even find someone to communicate the language with. I felt very foolish and therefore gave up mastering Cantonese. Currently the book is hidden in one corner inside my bookshelf collecting dust. Perhaps the book might come into use when I visit Hong Kong for holiday next year.
My mother is a Hokkien. When I was small, she will chat with my aunties or "Ah Ma" in Hokkien and so as time pass by, I could gradually pick up and understand what the heck she is saying. But nevertheless, even though I could understand majority of the language, I can’t speak Hokkien very well except maybe for vulgarities which is often used in my camp. Haha
So does that make me a fcuk up Cantonese and a half fcuk Hokkien “Lang”?

若是我有一百萬一百萬 我有一百萬 一世人就輕鬆
無講無人知 講到真歹勢 吃甲彼呢大漢 擱不曾坐飛機
打拼彼多年 無車無厝擱無愛人 看人娶某擱做生意
有錢擱有勢 若是我有一百萬 我要坐飛機
我要遊世界HAWAII曬太陽 日本吃壽司
若是我有一百萬 我要買車買厝山珍甲海味
啥人卡福氣來乎我做某 若是我有一百萬 一百萬
若是你有欠用錢 開嘴免客氣 若是我有一百萬
我要坐飛機 我要遊世界 義大利飲咖啡 路邊吃Spaghetti
若是我有一百萬 我要買車買厝買店來收租 閒閒免做工
帶狗去散步 若是我有一百萬 一百萬 若是你有欠用錢 開嘴免客氣
若是我有一百萬 一百萬 十千八千拿去用 免還嘛無問題
若是我有一百萬 一百萬 口白：朋友啊,你想一百萬真多啊!
For those whose Chinese is “Chui/Cannot make it" type, there is direct English translation available for you to grasp the essence of the song.
If I have got one million, one million,
I got one million, my whole life no worries,
Never say nobody knows, say already very shy,
Eat until so big, never sat on a plane before,
Worked so hard for so many years, no car no house and also no lover,
See people get married and do business, got money and got success,
If I have got one million, I wanna sit on a plane,
I wanna explore the world, Hawaii to sun bath,
Japan eat sushi ( treat you eat sushi )
If I have got one million, I wanna buy car buy house,
(I’m lost here)
(I’m lost here too)
If I have got one million, one million,
If you need to borrow money, just open your mouth and ask and no need shy shy,
Never say nobody knows, say already very shy,
Eat until so big, never sat on a plane before,
Worked so hard for so many years, no car no house and also no lover,
See people get married and do business, got money and got success,
If I have got one million, I wanna sit on a plane,
I wanna explore the world, Italy drink coffee,
Road side eat spaghetti ( road side eat spaghetti )
If I have got one million, I wanna buy car buy house,
Buy shop to collect rent, easy easy no need to work,
Bring dog go for a walk,
If I have got one million, one million,
If you need to borrow money, just open your mouth and ask and no need shy shy,
If I have got one million, one million,
Ten thousand eight thousand take go and use,
No need to pay back also no problem ( pay back money not a problem )
If I have got one million, one million,
Wei friend, you think one million a lot ah?
Someday, I would like to earn a million buck too....KeKe
