小小的小贩中心空地上
巧遇一条久违的龙在腾舞
锣声清脆，鼓声深沉
龙的实体是一串长长的五千年
小小稚儿
两岁不到即接触传统的闪现
锣声震耳，鼓声振心
眼前只见轻盈的舞动
龙的晃影是一掠短短的五分钟
此刻若我手中有佩剑
我必授你，我儿
盼你日后能够采撷龙的身姿
铸塑一支最最雄浑的
龙之舞

At the open space of this tiny hawker centre
I chanced into a long-lost dragon, at its dance
The sound of the gongs, crispy; that of the drum,
deep and dull
The physical body of the dragon, a string of
five thousand years
My little kid
Less than two years old had come into contact
with the flash of tradition
The sound of the gongs, deafening; that of
the drum, heart-shaking
Before our eyes, the movement of dance,
light and graceful
The silhouette of the dragon, is a shot fleeting of
five-minutes
If, at this very moment, a sword in my hand
I would definitely teach you, my son
Hope in future you would be able to pick up
the posture of the dragon
To mould into a dance of dragon
at its most vigorous and robust
