Translation:
You know it's true, GNOH HAI GA GONG DONG JAI (I'm a Canontese Boy)

Not from the main land so not your PO TOONG JAI (Mainland Chinese person)

The girls always call me, "Come on, FAI DI LAY" (Hurry up and come here)

and then I have to turn them down and say.
You know I got my lady she's a "SERNG HOI MUI (Shanghainese Sista)

mixed with a little bit of GONG DONG NUI (Cantonese Girl)

Not from Hong Kong, but NGOH HAI SERNG HUY (I really wanna go)

Cuz my FU MO's(Parents are) from there near TSIM SA JUY (City next to/near Hong Kong)
--------------------------------------------------
Larissa's first Line:
He said, "NAY HO MA?" (How are you?) it's really really nice to meet cha
----------------------------------------------
Last Line:
Don't call me your TOI SANG DOI (Boy from the Toi San Village)

You know it's true, I'm your Cantonese boy

  • Ahh so cute..that's a cool jacket...

  • @josie3144 Thanks!  That's my fav hoodie!

  • Only Won and Larissa Lam - you are super-talented! Glad to see you getting deserved recognition! I may not have the inflection right but Larissa "nee han peeoww lay ung" (which my old college room mate said means "you are a beautiful woman") - could be the title of your next song!?!

  • @combinatoric Thanks. You're too kind. But I was hoping to be "Hen Piao Liang" too. LOL
