The Happy Song – 快樂頌
503, 01/5/2018
In 2005, Papa started working on his love of music again. This time, armed with “Finale” (a music notation software we bought online from MakeMusic.) He made a total of 227 songs over the span of 6 years from 2005 to 2011. One of the favorites, and most liked by his friends was “The Happy Song” (快樂頌). The song was widely used in his church and most specially during their daily morning LTK (Luk Tung Kuen) physical exercises around Arcadia Park and Temple City Park over the years.
In time for his special birthday, Jan-15 — I requested my friend, Yozi Ngoo 吴优子 of Australia, to perform the song in both Chinese and English. The original text was written in Chinese, and with the help of my friend from Xiamen, Effy Jin 金晶晶, and YoZi Ngoo 吴优子, we translated and rhymed the song in English. Please listen to Papa’s “The Happy Song.”
