採茶褒歌(河洛)
(男）這平看見彼平崙 看見阿娘塊招阮喂 想欲過去和娘玩 恐驚頭家過來巡喂
(女）這平看見彼平崙 不敢夯頭來看阮喂 有好兄仔無阮份 專心採茶較齊勻喂
(男）採茶阿娘真艱苦 加脊曝日面向土喂 假使乎阮來做某 不甘乎娘曝這烏喂
(女）親切阿兄不免管 食飽替人找麻煩喂 採茶是阮上貫串 這途生理專工僎喂

Picking Tea Song (Heluo)
(Man)
Here, I can see you in the mountainside who waves at me;
I really want to see you;
but I am afraid that my boss will come here.
(Woman)
Here, I can see you in mountainside who does not turn his head to see me;
I think maybe I do not have the fortune to marry a good man;
the truth, working hard is more dependable than a dream.
(Man)
The girl gathering teas is difficult;
to bend her back, to work in the sun, to face the ground;
if you are going to marry me;
I will not let you work in the sun;
this will avoid being sunburned.
(Woman)
Oh! Dear, you do not have to care about me;
and do not give me trouble;
gathering teas is my job and I can do it well;
the work can let me make some money.
(English translation by "Angel" 林家麒 Lin, chia chi, May 12, 2010, Taipei)
Test-day, all the students had to give a presentation about tea, here is just a taste of today. This oral presentation was first translated from Chinese to English, and then read in English and Taiwanese; it was a pleasure to hear.
