Gambler Limerick

 Translated by Patrick Tse

I like wife, children and gambling too

Wife is sweet with lovely children

Gambling makes money really true

 

But

   Football and horse-racing don't taste good

Money always gone with the blues

Angry tiger-like wife let me be stood

 

Choose

Take one from dilemma

Gambling kicks away children's mum

No gambling and wife's not too far

 

Gambling                               No Gambling

Gambling makes me happy              Gambling leads all gone

Children and wife just like clothes         I like wife, children and family

Theyˇ¦ve gone lead me not filthy          Determine to no gambling keeps us long

 

Tonight                                 Tonight

Horse-racing follows with football        Relax with no gambling

Live broadcast through TV                   Housework by wife , children taught by me

Money is coming offshore              Family is full of happy things

 

    Finance                                  Finance

Overdraft after a few pay-days           Thrift is clear between in and out

Finance brothers give me help           Enjoy steady and happy life

Money loaned to me okay              Monthly surplus comes now

 

    Work                                    Work

Work after just overnight              In the morning, working is bright

Tired as fishing and kowtow            Work hard and job done well

Daydream into gambling fight          Colleague and boss say alright

 

 

   Accommodation                            Accommodation

Pay no rent for a few months            A little surplus monthly increases

Landlord urges me move               Apply Home Own House makes better living

Rely on gambling gets more fund        Self-own house makes family relieve

 

   Business Finance                            Business Finance

Finance brothers come for loan          I get large business order and bill

Colleague and boss shake heads         Customers and boss say good

At last Iˇ¦m fired soon                  Better increment and good pay are only for a few

 

   Living Place                                Living Place

Landlord seals up with no mercy        Home Own House got happily

Living in a corner in the park           Ready to pack and move to that house

Cardboard sleeping sheet found easy    All things get better readily

 

   Result                                    Result

Cold wind and wet rain come to face    No worry about outside wind and rain

Right now repent is too late           Sleep with bed and mate and mat

Gambling hurts people like this case    Family is full of laughing and no blame
