碰！碰！希米八！  Bang! Bang! Simibak!
碰！碰！希米八！  Bang! Bang! Simibak!
一九四七二二八，  1947, February 28th,
人間浩劫殺殺殺。  Massacring in Taiwan Like a Hell.

牛頭馬面凶惡煞，  Demons from Hades,
手執槍砲操軍法；  Holding gun and martial law;
洪水猛獸出柙閘，  Just like flood and wild animals out of a cage,
平民百姓受欺壓。  Devastated Civilian citizens, suffered oppression.

留美總編林茂生，  Maw-Shen Lin, editor and the first graduate returned from USA,
與妻訣別在黃昏；  Saying good-by to his wife at dusk;
台灣精英一網盡，  The Taiwanese elite were arrested all at once,
哀鴻遍野舉世驚。  Wailing over everywhere in the island shocked the whole world.

冤屈枉死魂萬千，  Grievance and injustice death over thousands,
硝煙直衝九重天；  Gun smoke shot up to the Heaven;
天使燃燭紅塵看，  Angel lights candle to overlook the darkened earth,
倉皇失色嚇破膽。  She was frightened and scared to death.

槍林彈雨屍滿地，  Bullets rain and shells artillery made corpses everywhere,
還有母子裹相依；  Even baby was wrapped in Mom's body;
傳統木屐遭翻棄，  Traditional peaceful society had been turned over,
傷痕烙印腦海裏。  Scars of hate and tragedy deeply built in memories.

長官陳儀坐高椅，  Governor, Chen Yi, sat in the high arm chair,
揮軍傳令奉旨意；  Giving instructions based upon the orders he received;
屠殺無辜罪歸一，  Bared all the accuses of this bloody killing,
糊裏糊塗已槍斃。  Before knowing all the facts, he became a scapegoat.

龜蛇惡鬥禍兩域，  The fight of  "turtle and snake", brought disaster to people,
風雲變色大江去；  Drastic changes, the fate of the nation;
征戰到底為什米，  Why killing? why war? what for?
生靈塗炭長悽戚。  Made people suffer the extreme privation for years and years.

島民世居自我立，  Island independently exists, and residents always self-supported,
安和樂利同舟濟；  Helping each other to live happily and peacefully;
希米八亡魂安息，  Simibak, dead soul, please rest in peace!
希米八亡魂安息。  Simibak, dead soul, please rest in peace!
