Celebration of life united in strength of roots and fate.
It’s festival of lanterns
Lights
Smiles and lights,
Of families’ togetherness
Generations in fame,
As all who gather gather
Just to celebrate
The culture, wisdoms, light and life
That’s passed on
From elder of all age.
Faces glowing in candle-like
Lanterns shining in paper-side
Built-in hope of hope of clans
Clans that are all a part
Of families of light and shine.
Shine.
Lanterns bore by youngsters and
Parents’ parents, gather-like
Groups of people in one shape:
Love for others and the fate
Born with them, bore inside.
Lighting lanterns brightening things
Symbols bringing joy and links
Glueing masses, building in
Strength of souls united in
The light of lanterns smoothing in.
Light is made smooth in shine
Modelled into strength that is
Shaping people making them
Be the strongest ever for
The year we are in …
Being strongest through the lives
Lived through generations merging in.
Generations merging in
Without words, in harmony
Cause the strength of millenniums’ fate
Resides in their ability to stay
Lighten up by paper lights
United in strength of lantern’s fate.
Happy Lantern Festival Hong Kong!
Happy celebration of family strength,
Hope and joy and prosper fate
For generations and generations’ sake,
And Culture to prevail
To grow stronger at each turn.
United in lantern’s fate.
And we change the world.
