島嶼天光 (Island's Sunrise) Lyrics
親愛的媽媽 請你毋通煩惱我
Dear mom, please don't worry about me
原諒我 行袂開跤 我欲去對抗袂當原諒的人
Please forgive me not being able to leave for you. I have to fight against those who can't forgive
歹勢啦 愛人啊 袂當陪你去看電影
Sorry my lover for not being able to watch a movie with you
原諒我 行袂開跤 我欲去對抗欺負咱的人
Please forgive me not being able to leave for you. I have to fight against those who bully us
chorus
天色漸漸光 遮有一陣人
The sky is lightening up. Here's a bunch of people
為了守護咱的夢 才做更加勇敢的人
Make themselves braver people to protect our dream
天色漸漸光 已經不再驚惶
The sky is lightening up. We are not scared anymore.
現在就是彼一工 換阮做守護恁的人
Today is the day, it's our turn to be the one who protect you
verse
已經袂記哩 是第幾工 請毋通煩惱我
I'm already forget how many days, please don't worry about me
因為阮知影 無行過寒冬 袂有花開的彼一工
Because of we know no pain, no gain
天色漸漸光 天色漸漸光
The sky is lighting up. The sky is lighting up
已經是更加勇敢的人
Now we are a braver man
chorus
天色漸漸光 咱就大聲來唱著歌
The sky is lighting up, let's sing the song loudly
一直到希望的光線 照著島嶼每一個人
Until the light of hope light up everyone in this island
天色漸漸光 咱就大聲來唱著歌
The sky is lighting up, let's sing the song loudly
日頭一爬上山 就會使轉去啦
日頭一爬上山 就會使轉去啦
天色漸漸光 咱就大聲來唱著歌
The sky is lighting up, let's sing the song loudly
一直到希望的光線 照著島嶼每一個人
Until the light of hope light up everyone in this island
天色漸漸光 咱就大聲來唱著歌
The sky is lighting up, let's sing the song loudly
日頭一爬上山 就會使轉去啦
日頭一爬上山 就會使轉去啦

More Fire Ex.

After the FIRE Ex. song "Good Night Formosa" became the unofficial anthem for the Sunflower Student Movement in Taiwan, organizers asked FIRE Ex to write them a new song. The Sunflower movement was in opposition towards a trade deal between China and Taiwan that had been rushed without real oversight from the Taiwanese legislature by the Kuomintang party, controversial part of the treaty remained classified which stoked fears that it would erode self determination in Taiwan by allowing Chinese influence in media and other sectors related to national security. The band obliged the organizers of and collaborated with them to produce Island's Sunrise. The song was widely embraced by the movement and remains a prominent protest song in Taiwan. The song remains banned in China as of this comment being written.
