W'ia hoef, w'ia hoef, siu hongho zhoef løh tøe,

雨夜花，雨夜花，受風雨吹落地，

A flower on a rainy night...by the wind & rain fallen to the ground,

bølaang khvoarkvix, muyjit oarnzheq, hoef sia løqthoo putzaix hoee.

無人看見，每日怨嗟，花謝落土不再回。

Out of everyone's sight, bearing a grudge day and night, the flower fallen, not to return again.

Uo bøzeeng, uo bøzeeng, bøo sviu gurn ee cienteeng,

雨無情，雨無情，無想阮的前程，

Merciless rain, merciless rain, no concern for our future,

Peng bøo khvoarkox, loafnjiok simsexng, ho gurn cientoo sid kongbeeng. (fine)

並無看顧，軟弱心性，乎阮前途失光明。

Have not been watched upon, feeble temperament, our future loses it promise. (fine)

Hoxzuie tiq, hoxzuie tiq, irn gurn jip siuxlan tii,

雨水滴，雨水滴，引阮入受難池，

Rain drips, rain drops, lead us into the pool of suffering,

zvoafviu ho gurn, lii hiøh lii ky, efng'oarn bøo-laang thafng khvoarkvix.

怎樣乎阮，離葉離枝，永遠無人倘看見。

Not mindful of our frailty, as leaves falling from the branch, eternally out of everyone's sight.

Hoef løqthoo, hoef løqthoo, u sviaflaang thafng khvoarkox,

花落土，花落土，有誰人倘看顧，

A flower on the ground, who pays attention?

bøzeeng hongho, ho gurn cientoo, hoeluie na løh beq juhøo. (interlude, D.C. al fine)

無情風雨，誤阮前途，花蕊哪落欲如何。

Merciless rain, for our future, the flower fallen, what to do? (interlude, D.C. al fine)
