The Wife of Yore Hak ku ei chit lei hou boh, Ui kah teing bei hiau hiam k’oh Kam buan chou gu kah chou beh T’ua bua, boh knia, hnua kui keh. Ham pelang kang chit lang tna K’iouk chu chu chiak kah sei snah Knia koh kah tua han chnia lang, balu keh kah ei snui pang Aneh ei boh bou eing chue’i Haku sitai already kuei Could we turn back the clock? Priority is now career top. | The Wife of Yore A good wife in those days of yore Complained not her suffering at all Willing to toil like a buffalo or a horse In order to manage the whole household perforce. She shouldered everything in the house per se Tidying, cooking, washing each and everyday Bringing up the children till they could stand on their own feet. Then and only then would her responsibilities be complete. Such an illustrious wife was not easy to come by But those were the days that long go had died. Wonder of we could still turn back the clock When today’s doors of opportunity to a career knock? |
Penerangan Lagu:
Isteri Dulu-dulu
Lagu ini menceritakan berkaitan isteri zaman dulu-dulu. Mereka bekerja sebagai suri rumah tangga sepenuh masa. Semua kerja rumah dan segala-galanya dilakukan tanpa merungut. Mereka jugalah yang membesarkan anak sehingga mampu berdikari. Para suri rumah tangga barulah berasa lega, apabila anak mereka sudah dewasa. Namun, pada masa sekarang sukar untuk memperoleh isteri sedemikian. Hal ini kerana, kebanyakan daripada mereka berkerjaya. Itulah sebabnya penulis lagu ini musykil, sama ada dapatkah; kembali ke zaman yang sedemikian?
