囡仔(HEY KID)
張睿銓 / 阿弟仔

囡仔 你就要會記
歷史教咱錯誤可以原諒但是不能忘記
轉頭回來了解你對叼位來
才有法度知道要對叼位去
囡仔 你就要會記
歷史有講別人的意見有時候會給你生氣
互相了解互相尊重鬥陣才會出頭
鴨霸剝削有一工就換你無底躲

一九四五年一群人來到這個番薯島
他們說台灣是偉大中國的一省
回來祖國 我們國民黨會疼惜照顧
無兩年 人民的期待變作土土土
乞丐兵路邊放尿放屎無衛生
囂張搶婚搶劫殺人放火白吃白喝
陳儀政府佔田佔地貪污專賣
你若無水準才會來講台灣話
一九四七年二月二七他們的警察
用槍敲一個賣煙歐巴桑的頭
開槍碰死一個站在邊仔的少年仔
人民擋不住 來去抗議 來去大稻埕
中國兵狠毒 拿槍掃射
用鉛線殘忍穿過一排人的手和腳
綁給緊 一個一個槍決
二萬人的生命 二禮拜了絕

囡仔 你就要會記
歷史教咱錯誤可以原諒但是不能忘記
轉頭回來了解你對叼位來
才有法度知道要對叼位去
囡仔 你就要會記
歷史有講別人的意見有時候會給你生氣
互相了解互相尊重鬥陣才會出頭
鴨霸剝削有一工就換你無底躲

續來戒嚴三十八年白色恐怖
管你外省本省客家河洛還是原住民
黨看你不爽 你就馬上無去
林義雄老母二個查某子 全部殺死
雷震批評蔣介石 被關十年
殷海光寫冊 被監視逼死
宋楚瑜全面 禁止台語節目
連布袋戲歌仔戲也要講北京話
勇敢的台灣人 打拼追求民主自由
政治改革的美麗島 農民抗爭的五二零
關的關 死的死 鄭南榕為言論自由
點起的那把火還未燒完
囡仔 你就要會記
他們的流血流汗艱苦犧牲給你自由的空氣
不可忘記 民主革命才開始
無經過寒冬的風雪 看不到春天的花蕊

囡仔 你就要會記
歷史教咱錯誤可以原諒但是不能忘記
轉頭回來了解你對叼位來
才有法度知道要對叼位去
囡仔 你就要會記
歷史有講別人的意見有時候會給你生氣
互相了解互相尊重鬥陣才會出頭
鴨霸剝削有一工就換你無底躲

我祝福你可以好勢
我祈求你會曉分別
我希望你可以改變以後的社會
我祝福你可以好勢
我祈求你會曉分別
我希望你可以改變不義的一切

多一個勇健的台灣囡仔
台灣就多一塊敲不破的活氣磚角
所以每工要運動 喝八大杯煮過的水
不要吃煙毒 喝茶不喝咖啡
一禮拜要看一本冊 知識就是力量
認識越多 自己做主的信心越強
學校上課要專心 聽無就要問先生
認真寫功課也不需要補習
賺錢有夠吃 有夠穿 有夠買冊
聽音樂 放假去山頂海邊走走就好
不要貪心 還要買股票和名牌手錶
提摩太六章十節 金錢是萬惡之根
不要像那些俗仔去中國唱歌演戲
講自己台客 卻歸工歸嘴內地內地
國民黨的千億黨產 誰殺死尹清楓
囡仔囡仔 你就要會記

[Translation]
Hey kid, you must remember
History teaches us to forgive mistakes, not forget them
You have to turn around, see where you've come from
If you want to figure out where you should go
Hey kid, you must remember
History says that people may disagree with you, anger you
Understand and respect each other, work it out together
If you oppress and exploit them, one day the tables will turn
And you'll have nowhere to hide

In 1945, a group of people landed on this yam-shaped island
Saying Taiwan was a province of Great China
"Come back to us. We KMT will love and look after you."
Within two years, the people's expectations crumbled
Bum soldiers pissing and shitting on the streets
Loot, abduct, kill, burn, eat free
Chen Yi's government confiscated farms and land, corruption via monopoly
You're a lowlife if you don't speak Chinese
On February 27, 1947
Their police pistol-whipped an old lady selling cigarettes
Shot a young bystander
"Can't stand it no more. Let's strike! Let's go to Toa-tiu-tia (大稻埕)!"
Then Chinese soldiers went on a cruel shooting spree
Pierced the palms and ankles of people with a lead wire
Tie them up. Execute one by one
20,000 lives were ended in two weeks

Hey kid, you must remember
History teaches us to forgive mistakes, not forget them
You have to turn around, see where you've come from
If you want to figure out where you should go
Hey kid, you must remember
History says that people may disagree with you, anger you
Understand and respect each other, work it out together
If you oppress and exploit them, one day the tables will turn
And you'll have nowhere to hide

What ensued was thirty-eight years of the martial-law era called "White Terror"
Doesn't matter if you're a Mainlander, Formosan, Hakka, Holo, or Aborigine
If you mess with the Party, you'll vanish in no time
Or be butchered like the mother and two daughters of Lin Yi-hsiung (林義雄)
Lei Jhen (雷震) was imprisoned for ten years for criticizing Chiang Kai-shek
Yin Hai-guang (殷海光) was under surveillance for his political articles until he died
James Soong (宋楚瑜) banned all the Taiwanese TV shows
Even puppet shows and Taiwanese Operas must be aired in Chinese
Brave Taiwanese souls fought and struggled for democracy and freedom
Beautiful Island Incident for political reform, 520 Farmer Protest
Jail after jail, kill after kill
Jheng Nan-rong (鄭南榕) burst into flames that'll last forever for free speech
Hey kid, you must remember
Their blood and sweat, torment and sacrifice, gave you the air you're breathing
Don't forget the revolution for democracy has just begun
You won't see the spring buds if you don't go through the winter snow

Hey kid, you must remember
History teaches us to forgive mistakes, not forget them
You have to turn around, see where you've come from
If you want to figure out where you should go
Hey kid, you must remember
History says that people may disagree with you, anger you
Understand and respect each other, work it out together
If you oppress and exploit them, one day the tables will turn
And you'll have nowhere to hide

I wish you all the best
I pray you can distinguish
I hope you'll change society in the future
I wish you all the best
I pray you can distinguish
I hope you'll fight injustice and oppression

One more strong Taiwanese kid
One more unbreakable brick of the Taiwanese spirit
So you must exercise every day and drink eight glasses of boiled water
No cigarettes and drugs. Drink tea, not coffee
Read a book every week because knowledge is power
If you know more you'll have more control of your life
Pay attention in school. Ask questions
Do homework. You don't need cram school
You're fortunate if you can afford buying food, clothes, books, and music
And go to the mountains and beaches on holidays
Don't be greedy, buying stocks and Rolex
Timothy 6:10, "For the love of money is a root of all evil."
Don't be like those cowards going to China singing and dancing
Saying they represent Taiwan but calling China the "mainland" all the time
The KMT's party property is worth hundreds of billions of dollars
Who killed Yin Cing-feng (尹清楓)?
Hey kid, my kid, you must remember

This is the first rap (and might be the first musical composition, to my limited knowledge) ever that explicitly depicts the February 28 Massacre of 1947 in Taiwan, launched by Chiang Kai-shek and his Chinese Kuomintang (KMT, also known as the Chinese Nationalist Party), and the thirty-eight-year martial-law era that followed the Massacre. More than twenty thousand people disappeared or were slaughtered in the Massacre, countless more in the martial-law era, as is typical of extreme political persecution and witch hunts (generally referred to as "White Terror" in Taiwan). The song is a tribute to all those brave souls—both Formosans and newcomers—who died fighting the KMT and its dictatorial government, which was finally ended by Taiwan's fledgling democracy in 2000. 我們不會忘記陳文成博士命案。
