Citsiuo koaf, thvialiao, lie na u kafmtong, 
chviar lie khax cidthofng tiexn'oe ho lie ee lauxpe.
If you are touched by this song,
please make a call to your father.

Cidee laang ti goaxbin ze.   Hef si gurn lauxpe.
A person sits outside        That is my father.

Kotvoaf si y ee langkheq     Ofngsu si hitpoef tee.
Lonesomeness is his guest    His past is in that cup of tea.

Kiax gøeqniuu thoaan ho yn bor ee phoef, 
Mxzay siw`tiøh bøe?
Has his wife received his letter delivered by the moon. 

Korng lie tiøh mxbiern koarliam 
zhux laixtøea ee toaxtoa-soeasoeax
(The letter) Talked about that you should not have to worry us.

Papaf ee bixnsiong sor laau`ee,	
Si chviaa larn cidkef voa`laai ee taixkex.
Father's face reflected what he has done for us.

Cidsiafng chiuo, cidsiafng øee, 
cidpo-cidpo khafn larn kengkøex
Step by step, his hands, and a pair of shoes, walked us through. 

Papaf ee itsefng, ka sngrsngx`leq, 
ma mxbad cincviax hiofngsiu`køex.
Father's whole life, in fact, 
has never really enjoyed what he deserved?

Na m iwhaux bøo kihoe. 
In'ui cidee laang cyu cidee lauxpe.
If we don't take care of him, there would be no more chance.
Because a person has only one father.

Cidee laang ti pangkefng thef.    Hef si gurn lauxpe.
A person lies down in a bedroom   That is my father.

Suliam si y ee miphøe beq kaq kiarm cidee.
Deep thought is his comforter which needs to be unloaded.

Kiax thvichvy thoaan ho abuo ee phøef. 
Mxzay siw`tiøh bøe?
Has mother received the letter delivered by the stars?

Korng gurn øe koaikoay thvia'oe, 
ciaokox a`paf ciah kaq pahji-høex.
(The letter) Talked about that we would behave, listen, 
and take care of our father until he is 120 years old

Papaf ee sengkhw sor laau`ee Si kab larn kaxngkhoarn ee hoehmeh
Father's blood is the same as ours.

Cidky zhao, cidtiarm lo, cidtai-cidtai chienchiw-baxnsex.
Each straw has its own drew, generation by generation last forever.

Papaf ee itsefng, ka sngrsngx`leq. 
Ma zhwn bøo joaxkuo ee jidcie thafng køex?
Father's whole life, in fact, is counting down.

Na m iwhaux bøo kihoe,    
If we don't take care of him, there won't be any time left. 

In'ui cidee laang cyu cidee lauxpe
Because a person has only one father.

In'ui lauxpe, u cvii ma bøo tex bøea.
Because you cannot buy a father, even you have money.
