Translation of the song 月光光 artist Chinese Children Songs

Chinese (Cantonese)

月光光

English translation

Bright Moon

月光光,照地堂

Bright Moon, shining on the ground

蝦仔 你乖乖瞓落床,

Little Shrimp (term of endearment), be good and go to bed to sleep

聽朝 阿媽要趕插秧囉

Tomorrow morning, Mother needs to quickly plant the seedlings

阿爺睇 牛去上山崗,啊...

(Pathernal) Grandfather watches the cows go up to the hill,

蝦仔你快高長大囉,

Little Shrimp, grow tall and big soon

幫手阿爺去睇牛羊,呀...

Help your (Pathernal) Grandfather to watch the cows and sheep

月光光,照地堂,

Bright Moon, shining on the ground

蝦仔你乖乖瞓落床,

Little Shrimp (term of endearment), be good and go to bed to sleep

聽朝阿媽要捕魚蝦囉,

Tomorrow morning, Mother has to catch fish and shrimps

阿嫲織網要織到天光,啊...

(Pathernal) Grandmother has to weave a net till dawn

蝦仔你快高長大囉,

Little Shrimp, grow tall and big soon

划艇撒網更在行。

You will become adept at rowing the boat out to cast the net

月光光,照地堂,

Bright Moon, shining on the ground

年三十晚,摘檳榔,

On Lunar New Year's Eve, pick the betel nuts

五穀豐收堆滿倉囉,

The food crops fills the granary

老老嫩嫩喜洋洋,啊...

Everyone, young and old, are beaming with joy.

蝦仔快的眯埋眼 囉,

Little Shrimp, soon you'll close your eyes

一覺瞓 到大天光,啊...

Sleep until the dawn, ah...
