Song: 爱拼才会赢 Keep Working Hard to Win

This is another of the most inspiring Hokkein song that has been very popular since the 80s. I like the lyrics because it reminds me not to give up trying during tough times.

===========================

爱拼才会赢 Keep Working Hard to Win

一时失志不免怨叹 When one loses goal it is natural to be bitter
一时落魄不免胆寒 When one is in hard times it is natural to be sad

那通失去希望 When hope is lost
每日醉茫茫 Everyday we are drifting aimlessly
无魂有体亲像稻草人 The body loses its soul like a scarecrow

人生可比是海上的波浪 A person's life is like the wave on the sea
有时起 Sometimes it rises
有时落 Sometimes it falls

好运 Good fortune (or)
歹运 Bad fortune
总嘛要照起工来行 In the end we have to get back to work
三分天注定 Life is pre-destined 30 percent of the lifetime
七分靠打拼 Hard work counts for 70 percent of the lifetime

爱拼才会赢 Keep on working hard to win (reach one's goals)
