"Nanhai Chao" (pinyin for 南海潮, penkyamp Nam4 Hoi2 Ciu4), or "Southern Sea Tides", is a song of the overseas Chinese|overseas Guangdong|Cantonese. Its melody is based on the folk songs of the boat people in the Pearl River Delta and its adjacent coasts.
Translation:
- Red clouds are overtaking the Cantonese sky at daybreak,
- The rising sun preludes an elegant prose;
- The silk trees (symbolizing Guangzhou) and redbuds (symbolizing Hong Kong) adds hundreds and thousands of blooms again,
- What a prosperous picture to last forever!
- I see river tides still pushing that "sampan" (an Asian boat),
- But it rafts through a refreshing scene of edifaces of jade.
- I tell the ocean not to be so turbulent,
- Across from thousands of miles of ocean I am home sick.
