Here's another one. I am also recording this also on my new channel:
www.youtube.com/user/khanhmtv1
... My subscribers now and others watching this video, please subscribe to that other channel. When I get enough people watching the videos on that channel, I will stop uploading music videos on this timizhuofan1 channel. Thanks! :)
I recorded this video long ago during Chinese New Year this year although I never really got through with combining the clips into a music video. I actually forgot all about it until I found it on my computer, just ready to go. I sang the song on July 6, 2009 and made the video last night. Although it isn't the right season for this song, enjoy!
This video will give you some insight about my religion, which is, as you will see from this video, Buddhism.
Timi sang this song in her 2008 Chinese New Year album, 好春天 (Fine Spring).
Thanks to Hkship for giving me the English translation, which you can see beneath and also, subtitled on the video. My sister filmed the video so as always, excuse its shakiness! My camera was running out of batteries when we were filming so the quality of the video isn't as high as is would've been. That's why, watch in HD! Don't forget to watch the added bloopers at the end!
Lyrics:
除夕的晚上呀 一家大团圆
On the night of Lunar New Year Eve, there's a big family reunion,
在外的游子 归心呀心似箭
The wandering son wants to get home as fast as an arrow.
一家大小祭祖先 跪在神桌前呀
Everybody worships the ancestors and kneels in front of the altar,
祭祖先呀祭祖先 孝思莫等闲
Worship the ancestors, worshipping them filially without delay.
三拜又九叩 来祭呀祭祖先
Three bows and nine kow-tows to worship the ancestors
祖先们留下 金玉和良言
Who have left behind gold jade and wisdom,
奠基创业靠祖先 流传到今天呀
Foundation was cemented and business commenced by the ancestors, from then till now.
祭祖先呀祭祖先 除夕大团圆
Worship the ancestors, worshipping the ancestors, a big reunion of Lunar New Years
有菜又有肉呀 有酒也有烟
Worshipping them with vegetables and meat, wine and cigarettes.
祭祖先呀祭祖先 快乐大团圆
Worship the ancestors, worshipping the ancestors, big and joyous reunion!
lol.. this video is funny.. how did you get all your family to film this and combine to the meaning so well ?... but your voice should be a little bite higher with this song. Anyway is still good. Just kinda funny... but is ok.

They weren't acting. I really filmed clips of them praying for real and I just combined it together in this video. We only go to the temple on CNY so not that often...
