今朝打开信箱 today I opened my letterbox
收到张明信片 there’s a postcard inside
搿是海龙寄自珠峰大本营 it was sent by Hailong from Mount Everest

明信片个正面印了 on the postcard has a picture
珠穆朗玛峰金光锃亮 of radiant Mount Everest
宏伟的峰顶 with its sublime summit

背面有我地址 on the back wrote my address
大本营个邮戳 with a postmark from there
还有海龙伊那隽秀的签名 and the delicate signature of Hailong

平常海龙阿哥 usually brother Hailong
天天吃喝嫖赌 indulges himself to all kinds of pleasures
搞勿懂伊为啥 I wondered why he suddenly
了末生要跑到西藏去 decided to go to Tibet

勒日喀则个辰光 When he was in Shigatse
伊帮我打过一只电话 he had called me once
问我要屋里地址 to ask for my address
讲要帮我寄张明信片 saying that he was going to send me a postcard

伊讲伊一直有个心愿 he said that he had got a wish all the time
等到儿子长大放暑假 that when his son grow up and has summer vacation
拖好仔老婆小人一道去登珠峰大本营 he would take his wife and son to climb Mount Everest together

哦 海龙阿哥 侬一直看到我就笑我是小文艺 oh, brother Hailong, you always laugh at me and call me “little artsy”
哦 海龙阿哥 今朝我要叫侬一声老清新 oh, brother Hailong, today I will call you an “old fresh”
哦 乃一家门侪老清新 oh, your whole family is old fresh
