Here Is a Stage
Here is a stage,
warmly opening
on the oriental
New Year’s Day.
Gonging, drumming,
horning and trumpeting,
welcome everyone
Come to perform a play!
If you are a prodigy,
come to show with vanity.
If you are a celebrity,
come to show with dignity.
If you are a whiz,
come to show your quality.
If you are a wizard,
come to prove your quiddity.
If you have delicious dishes,
Please flaunt and feast.
If you have lucky lotteries,
Please give us a treat!
I am only a half…halfwit.
Please sit left-hand on the seat.
I am truly a hard…humble slave.
Please serve right-hand on your feet.
I am a kind of… hollow vegie.
I see you are even askew on stage.
Hard-work can’t be hard-nosed.
Call your backer to boost you elated!
No matter you are:
whoever and whatever,
wherever and what color,
Come here perform together!
Let us have a hilarity.
Raise our spirit high!
He! He! Ha! Ha!
Hey! Hey! Hai! Hai!
All High!
Ever High!!!
