Romanized lyrics of 爱拼才会赢 Ai Pia Jia Ey Yia
一时失志不免怨叹
jit si sit ji mmm mehn wan tan
When you suffer a setback it is hard not to sigh,
一时落魄不免胆寒
jit si lou pek mmm mehn dam han
When you are down on your luck it is hard not to get discouraged.
那怕失去希望
la tong sit ki hi bbang
But When you lose hope,
每日醉茫茫
mui lit zui bbang bbang
And be in a drunken stupor all day,
无魂有体亲像稻草人
bbo hun wu tay cin ciu dio cao lang
Then you are souless with a body, like a scarecrow.
人生可比是海上的波浪
lin sing ko bi si hai siong ey pou long
Life can be compared to waves on the sea,
有时起有时落
wu si kee – wu si lou
Sometimes it rises, and sometimes fall.
好运歹运
hoh oon pai oon
Good luck, bad luck –
总吗要照起工来行
zong ma (jiao) ki gang lai gia
We still have to work.
三分天注定七分靠打拼
sa hun tin zu dia cit hun ko pa pia
For 30% is determined by heaven, while 70% is how much you strive for.
爱拼 才会赢
ai pia a jia ey yia
Only those who work hard can succeed.
一 时失志不免怨叹
jit si sit ji mmm mehn wan tan

But When you lose hope,

And be in a drunken stupor all day,
无魂有体亲像稻草人

Then you are souless with a body, like a scarecrow.
