童謠交響曲 (SSAA) (Nursery cacophony) (Level 4)

燈光再亮，雄仔站在台中，他發現自己身處一個西關的情境裡，《童謠交響曲》音樂漸起。一群小孩子做遊戲衝上前來。一群小男孩在猜拳的遊戲。他們甚至是踩著木屐，踏著點，然後再出拳（即猜拳加踢踏）。雄仔被他們興高采烈的情緒所感染，他興奮地加入其中。

在這首歌中，我嘗試把童年時代聽過的童謠和小販的叫賣聲融入音樂，創作出一首情景合唱樂曲。其中值得一提的是這句小販叫賣的經典話語：「地豆猶如花生粥」。乍聽之下，彷彿這碗粥包含三種材料，非常豐富。然而，實際上只有一種材料：「地豆」，也就是花生。「猶如」在此意為「等同」，並不是魷魚。這是小販的一種創意銷售手法，讓這碗粥聽起來更誘人。其實，這與不同行業的廣告推銷手段如出一轍，充分展現了不同時代的智慧與幽默感。

The lights shine brighter as Hung Chai stands in Taichung, realizing he is in a setting resembling the old district of Xiguan. The music of the "Children's Song Symphony" gradually begins. A group of children rushes forward, playing games. A group of boys is playing rock-paper-scissors. They even tap their wooden clogs in rhythm before throwing their fists (a mix of rock-paper-scissors and tap dancing). Hung Chai is caught up in their joyful energy and excitedly joins in.

In this song, I aim to capture the essence of childhood through nursery rhymes and the iconic street vendor calls I grew up hearing, weaving them into a vivid choral piece. One standout example is the vendor's clever phrase: "Peanuts just like peanut porridge." At first, it sounds like the porridge contains three ingredients, making it seem rich and hearty. However, in reality, there’s only one ingredient: "peanuts," as "peanuts" and "groundnuts" are the same. The word "just like" simply means "equivalent to," not "squid." This playful sales tactic highlights the creativity of street vendors, echoing modern advertising techniques across generations.

歌词：

来跟我玩

揼薑，子薑，吹妳唔脹，抆妳唔長

大苯象揸支枪 大苯象去打仗

摇摇摇到外婆桥到外婆桥到外婆桥

小时候我通街走,  三两知己手踢手

无忧无虑去留自在

后行大街通处兜 来跟我玩

揼薑，子薑，吹妳唔脹，抆妳唔長

大苯象揸支枪 大苯象去打仗 小时候我通街走 一串鱼蛋三对手

热辣辣香喷牛杂 后行食到街口 卜卜脆鸡蛋仔和味龙蚤滋味浓

程寻剪程寻包程寻磨交叉烧包

程寻剪程寻包程寻磨交叉烧包 哩唏哩 哩奥哩哩奥

卜卜脆鸡蛋仔和味龙蚤滋味浓 好靓猪皮萝卜好靓熟牛杂 凉粉凉粉 地豆犹如花生粥

来跟我玩, 揼薑，子薑，吹妳唔脹，抆妳唔長
