阿美！阿美！ [Ā měi! Ā měi!] [English translation]

A Mei, A Mei, when will you prepare for dowry?

I'm so anxious and even insane

Today, today you must tell me honestly

If I can be with you

Indeed, I'm such a poor wretch

Not looking so handsome

However, you really gotta think

Of your very appearance

A Mei, A Mei, don't hesitate any more

Girl's youth is too short

Today, today don't be stubborn

Be my bride right now

Indeed, I have neither a car nor a villa

Living on bread and water as well

However, if you stay with me

I guarantee you'll enjoy wealth and honor
