Lyrics:

佇細漢的時陣阮阿嬤對我上好　
tī sè-hàn ê sî-tsūn gún a-má tuì guá siōng-hó

共上好的物件攏會留予我
kā siōng-hó ê mi̍h-kiānn lóng ē lâu hōo guá

伊嘛定定𤆬我去幼稚園看人咧𨑨迌　
i mā tiānn-tiānn tshuā guá khì iú-tsí-ián khuánn-lâng leh tshit-thô

看人咧辦公伙啊　看人咧覕相揣
khuánn-lâng leh pān-kong-hué a khuánn-lâng leh bih-sio-tshuē

伊定定共阮講　叫阮著愛好好仔讀冊　
i tiānn-tiānn kā gún kóng kiò gún tio̍h-ài hó-hó-á tha̍k-tsheh

毋通大漢像恁老爸仔遐爾仔狼狽喔
m̄-thang tuā-hàn tshiūnn lín lāu-pē-á hiah-nī-á lông-puē oo

佇彼个時陣　阮攏聽攏無　阿嬤　你到底是咧講啥貨
tī hit-ê sî-tsūn gún lóng tiann lóng-bô a-má lí tàu-té sī leh kóng siánn-huè

大漢了後　才知影阿嬤的話　我會甲永遠永遠囥塊心肝底
tuā-hàn liáu-āu tsiah tsai-iánn a-má ê uē guá ē kah íng-uán íng-uán khǹg tè sim-kuann-té

＊想著一步一步的過去　定定攏會予人真難忘
siūnn tio̍h tsi̍t-pōo tsi̍t-pōo ê kuè-khì tiānn-tiānn lóng ē hōo lâng tsin lân-bōng

　時間一分一秒塊過去　佇阮的心內定定攏會想著伊
sî-kan tsi̍t-hun tsi̍t-bió tè kuè-khì tī gún ê sim-lāi tiānn-tiānn lóng ē siūnn tio̍h i

＃阿嬤妳這馬佇佗位　阮咧叫你你敢有聽著
a-má lí tsit-má tī tó-uī gún ê kiò lí lí kám-ū thiann-tio̍h

　阮的認真佮阮的成功你敢有看著　阮咧叫你你知影無
gún ê līn-tsin kah gún ê sîng-kong lí kám-ū gún leh kiò lí lí
tsai-iánn bô

　阿嬤你這馬過了好無　敢有人塊共妳照顧
a-má lí tsit-má kuè-liáu hó-bô kám-ū lâng tè kā lí tsiàu-kòo

　希望後世人阮閣會當來予你疼　做你永遠的孫仔　
hi-bāng āu-sì-lâng gún koh ē-tàng lâi hōo lí thiànn tsò lí íng-uán ê sun-á

閣叫你一聲阿嬤
koh kiò lí tsi̍t-siann a-má


Repeat ＊,＃

Notes：

I've corrected some of the Han character for Hokkien in the lyrics based on the Standard Hanzi for Taiwanese approved by Taiwan's Ministry of Education.

The romanization system uses Taiwanese Romanization System (known as Tâi-lô or TL), the official system of Romanization for Taiwanese promoted by Taiwan's Ministry of Education. Hokkien has 7 tones.

@TheLoneFreedom I've just added the Lyrics and Tai-lo (Taiwanese Romanization system) for Taiwanese, the equivalent of pinyin for Hokkien. So, now you can learn to sing. It's under the description.

I start to regret what I have not done for the past years...

I have been focusing on my studies and failed to show my concern for her... She has since passed away... And this is always a pain in my heart as I also didn't turn up for her funeral as I have an exam on that day....

Despite now having a scholarship and a decent career, I felt that I had let her down...

I hope My ah ma can hear this...

Sorry... If there is a chance, i want to be your grandson again...

I love u ah ma...
