The Lantern (Cantonese)

Come, let’s carry a lantern,
Hanging it high in the night.
Watching the full moon glow,
As if it longs for home.
I remember when we held our lanterns together,
Gathered under one sky —
My heart overflows with tears, missing you so dearly.
Come, let’s carry a lantern,
Hanging it high in the night.
Watching the full moon glow,
Sharing light with every home.
How I wish you were here, holding a lantern with me.
Let’s promise, beneath one sky,
To gaze at the moonlight together, no more longing.
Come, let’s carry a lantern,
Hanging it high in the night.
Watching the full moon glow,
Its face a joyful smile.
Come, let us hold our lanterns together again,
Gathered under one sky —
Our voices lifted in song, gazing at moonlight.
