Typhoon with Romanised Teochew

I did promise that I would write the Romanised Teochew for this song Typhoon

If you sing along with the song, eventually you will pick up the words and tones and improve your Teochew. It is a very good pedagogy to learn a language by singing and this is why we have so many Teochew nursery rhymes. 

新做風颱

Huang1tai1 means typhoon

我到只陣還唔知

ua2 gao3 zi2zung5 huan1 m6zai1

I still do not know until now

咋呢俺照塊扂慾做風颱

zo3ni5 nang2 zio2go3 diam7 ain3 zo3 huang1tai1

Why is it we here keep wanting to have typhoon

記得許唺時企塊草寮龜

gi3dig4 he2diang1si5 kia1go3 Cao2liao5gu1

Remember in those days living (at) Cao’liao’gu

一下透風就著挈塊柴去堵

zêg8ê6 tao3huang1 zu6 dioh8 kioh8 go3 ca5 ke3 du2

In a little while when it is windy take a piece of stick to block (it)

還憶得許唺時門骹有叢柑

huan1 ig4dig4 he2diang1si5 mung5ka1 u6 zang5 gan1

Still remember at that time outside the front door is a tangerine tree

阿嫲呾孬摘 著留等拜老爺

A1ma2 dan3 mo2 diah4 dioh8 lao5 dang2 bia3 Lao6ia5

Grandma said must not pick and leave it to be offered to Lao’ia

飼二隻鵝二隻鴨唔甘刣呀

Ci7 no6 ziah4 gho5 no2 ziah8 ah4 m6gam1 tai5 ia7

Raised two geese, two ducks, not willing to slaughter them

阿嫲伊呾著留等七月廿三

A1ma2 i1 dan3 dioh8 lao5 dang2 Cig4ghuêh8 rih8san1

Grandma said must leave it for the 23rd day of 7th Lunar month

透風啊 雨來啊

Tao3huang1 a7 hou6lai5 a7

wind and rain ah!

門骹叢柑在生樣啊

Mung7ka1 zang5 gan1 zai6sên1ion7 a7

How is the tangerine tree by the door?

𠹛會一粒一粒膠落落塗骹

Kah4 oi6 zêg8 liab8 zêg8 liab8 ga1laoh8 loh8 tou5ka1

Will the tangerines drop one by one on the ground.

𠹛會膠落一外口庭

Kah4 oi6 ga1laoh8 zêg8 ghua7 kao2dian5

Will the tangerines drop on the courtyard?

透風啊 雨來啊

Tao3huang1 a7 hou6lai5 a7

家內二隻鵝在生樣啊

gê1lai6 no2 ziah8 gho5 zai6sên1 ion7 a7

How are the family’s two geese?

𠹛有個伊掠去禁禁磨

Kah4 u6 gai5 i1 liah8 ke3 gim3 gim3 bhua5

Have they been caught and pen in together?

等下阿嫲煩惱死啊

Dang2ê6 A1ma2 huang5lo2 si2 a7

In a little while, grandmother will be very worried

做風颱啊
