chap goh mei



The singles will wish
They can find partners next week
The end of the Chinese New Year celebrations
The last day to throw oranges for good luck and prospects

The tradition passing down through history
On the bridge throwing oranges for wishes
Floating away will be scooped by the single men
They too wish to find their partners in life

It is the lively activity
It has become a topic of social gathering
The young and old will gather around
They wish to cheer the singles to take flight

Now with the modern gadgets around
The singles will publish it out loud
Maybe they miss the point in their lives
It is to go down to the ground

Chap Goh Mei
May it bring wishes true
May the nation flourish
With her colourful people
