wontonsoup Posted July 9, 2007 at 02:47 AM Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 02:47 AM what's with these wierd lyrics by jay chou? 不要再這樣打我媽媽 mai gan na lei da wo ma ma 我說的話你甘會聽? wo shou de hua ni gan mie tia? 說都說不聽 聽 gong dou gong bu tia tia 痛是我們在痛 痛 tia shi wo men tia tia why does he say tia?, instead of ting and teng?

xiaocai Posted July 9, 2007 at 02:49 AM Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 02:49 AM Coz it is not in mandarin... By the way, have you heard of the song? Quote
wontonsoup Posted July 9, 2007 at 02:51 AM Author Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 02:51 AM yup, everthing else looks mandarin though and sounds like it Quote
xiaocai Posted July 9, 2007 at 03:03 AM Report Posted July 9, 2007 at 03:03 AM Really? These verses don't look like mandarin to me at all... Anyway, in case you don't know, the name of the song is 爸，我回来了 (Dad, I'm back) sung by 周杰伦 (Jay Chou) and the verses you quoted are a mix of mandarin and 台语 (Taiwanese, or 闽南话 or Hokkien, whichever way you would like to call it). "mai gan na lei", "ni gan mie tia" are definitely not mandarin to my ear. I'm not a native speaker of this dialect though, maybe someone else in this forum would like to help to identify which part is actually Taiwanese... Quote
