OriginalTranslation
中秋個月好圓大The mid-autumn moon is round and big掛喺天上唔郁動Hanging in the sky without moving悅明攞住盞燈籠Yuet-ming is holding a lantern紅色嘅光好朦朧Its red light soft and hazy月餅切開分晒喇The mooncake is cut and shared out茶都斟好喺枱上The tea is poured on the table大人喺度慢慢傾The grown-ups are talking slowly你就望住個月光And you are watching the moon瞓啦瞓啦小悅明Sleep now sleep now little Yuet-ming燈籠會陪你一晚The lantern will stay with you all night瞓啦瞓啦小悅明Sleep now sleep now little Yuet-ming個月都唔會走遠The moon will not go far away燈籠嘅火慢慢細The lantern flame is getting small你隻手都鬆開晒Your hand has come loose月光照住你塊面Moonlight is on your face一年得一次咁嘅This only happens once a year瞓啦瞓啦小悅明Sleep now sleep now little Yuet-ming燈籠會陪你一晚The lantern will stay with you all night瞓啦瞓啦小悅明Sleep now sleep now little Yuet-ming個月都唔會走遠The moon will not go far away

The story behind this song
The mid-autumn moon rises full and bright while she carries her own small paper lantern out to greet it.
Why this moment matters
A child carrying their own small lantern out to greet the moon is participating in a festival that's been celebrated the same way for a very long time.
