Thoughts on Mother Turning Eighty
To the Cantonese Opera Tune "Running Water Southern Sound"
By Feng Xin-ming (Cantonese Rhyme and Rhythm)
The lamp dimly glows; Mother softly rocks.
The sleeping baby lightly smiles.
Mother puts him down and goes to make sure big brother won’t get cold.

The laurel flowers are sweet; the sun beams brightly.
Nourished by spring’s warm rays shoots sprout strongly.
And now emerald cedars accompany the green pine.
Oh... ... ...
Oh... ... ... ... ... ...
