Let me Stand Up Like a Taiwanese (無名英雄 eng. Unsung Hero) Lyrics
# Intro
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese
### verse
趕走所有無路用的悲傷
Drive away all the useless sorrows.
佇無情的世界就愛更加倔強
In a merciless world, we must be even more resilient.
剝削的生活萬事照常
Life under exploitation continues as usual.
卑微的生存等待時機向前衝
Humble survival awaits the opportunity to charge forward.
### chorus
風雨起 乘風破浪
Rising amidst the storm, riding the wind and breaking the waves.
咱攏是無名的英雄
We are all unsung heroes.
保持憤怒 過關斬將一路闖
Stay angry, overcome challenges, and fight through every obstacle.
風雨起 乘風破浪
Rising amidst the storm, riding the wind and breaking the waves.
提出你驕傲的面容
Show your proud face.
毋顧一切
Disregard everything else.
### verse
眼前是機會佮命運
Opportunity and destiny are before us
怎樣選擇? 你敢有拍算?
How to choose? Do you dare to make the right decision?
逐項攏註定的人生
A destined life piece by piece
怎樣看見意外的風景?
How to see unexpected scenery?
佇上䆀的時代做上媠的夢
In the worst times, dreaming the most beautiful dreams.
就愛跤踏實地 人咧做 天咧看
We must keep our feet on the ground; people act, and the heavens watch.
天公伯啊 你著保庇我
Dear Lord, please bless me.
Let me stand up like a Taiwanese

This song is from the punk band FIRE Ex. which hails from the Taiwanese port city of Kaohsiung, FIRE EX is politically aligned with the Taiwanese Independence Movement which aims to proclaim Taiwan as an independent country that does not claim rulership over China, this is opposed to the view that that Republic of China now based in Taiwan should rule over China and Taiwan. Kaohsiung was the location of a major crackdown on democracy activists during Taiwan's martial law period under the one party rule of the Kuomintang in 1979 and has broadly been more independence oriented. The line "Let me Stand up Like a Taiwanese" is a quotation from Peter Huang when he was tackled to the ground during an attempt to assassinate the then vice premier of of the Kuomintang, the son of the former generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek. The song's reference to unsung heroes is likely in reference to the average people who contributed to the democratization of Taiwan. Note also the song is sung in the Taiwanese Hoklo (Tâi-gú) language which is more prevalent in the south of Taiwan, during Taiwan's martial law period under the Kuomintang local languages like Hoklo, Hakka, and Taiwanese indigenous languages were suppressed in favor of Mandarin Chinese.
