Moonlight Shining on Earth Cantonese Lyrics

The lyrics of the Cantonese song are as follows:

The moonlight shines on the earth, and the shrimp boy sleeps in the bed.

Listening to my mom, I'm going to plant rice seedlings, and I'm going to look at the cows on the hillside.

Shrimp boy, you grow up fast, and help the master to see the cows and sheep.

The moonlight shines on the ground, and the shrimp will sleep in the bed.

Listening to my father, I want to catch fish and shrimp, and I want to weave nets until dawn.

Shrimp boy, you'll grow up to be a good rower and netter.

The moonlight shines on the ground, and betel nut is picked on the third night of the year.

The harvest is full of grains, the old and the young are happy.

Shrimp boy, squint your eyes, and sleep till dawn.
