Lyrics:
Coconut wind stirs up silver waves, and the sunset peeks through the clouds.
I saw a beautiful girl sitting alone on the golden beach.
Bright eyes and crescent-shaped eyebrows.
Wearing a red sarong and chewing betel nut in his mouth.
She is sighing, sighing that heartless lang.
Think of tears, wet red sarong white clothes.
Oh, Nanhai girl, why are you so sad?
At the age of 16 and a half, I lost my old dream and got a new partner.
