我的馬來鄰居/ 王濤 (英文意译：陈美翎)
My Malay Neighbor/Wang Tao （interpreted by Monica M.L. Chen）
入夜你還在敲黑打暗
At night, you still knock the black to fight the dark
勞動的手未停歇
labor's hands did not stop
聲響穿透黑幕
sound penetrates the curtain that is shady dark
我仿佛听到你沉重的呼吸
I seem to hear your heavy breathing
開齋節*時，聲音依然起起落落
after Hari Raya Puasa *, the sounds are still as the ups and downs remarks
你相信手的力量
You trust the power of the hand
命運就靠這雙
upon this pair Fate depends
蓄滿力量的手
the ones filled with power
年頭到年尾
from beginning of year until the end
我看到你勤奮的身影
I saw your diligent figure
晨早。黃昏
from morning to dusk
你又創造出新的東西
you create something new offhand
默默耕耘，腳踏實地
Silently, down-to-earth you stark
你專注你堅信
You focus and you believe
一切會改變
that everything will change
哇嗨——我的馬來鄰居
wow hi – my Malay neighbor
你比別人更努力
you work harder than others
敲敲打打
hammering
尊榮的生命像塊鐵
life like a block of iron it honors
打造成 to be done
最有价值的信念
the most valuable of belief
在陽光下燦爛發亮
brilliantly shine under the sun
