Ode to the Tribute to the Cantonese
Oh Cantonese my Cantonese
You are the Anthem of the Chinese
A song to my ears and soul, of you I am proud
Canto a musical composition. I will pronounce your word out loud/
You came from my forefathers home land far far away.
Emmigrated all over the world and are here to stay.
You are spoken from old to young in many a lands
Others who speak other languages are making you become their helping hands
My friend next time you hear a bird singing. Ask the feathered friend,
Is that Cantonese you speak? I hear tones, a song, lets us dance together.
A beautiful melody my Cantonese is forever.
This is my ode to this language I call a song.
By Hector Alvarado
