Banyan tree poem

 YouTube has sent me a banyan tree poem. 

To help you learn better, I have written out a table with all the words from the poem. This means you have to work a little to link the words said in the poem to what is on the table. This processing will help you to have some deep learning. 

This means you have to hear the sounds said in the poem and link the sounds to the words in the table. You will also have to remember what was said previously as I have not repeated any words in the table. 

Your job is to listen to the poem by clicking on the link above, and then identify the words in the table to get the English translation.  This little bit of hard work will help you process the Teochew words better and this may help you to remember the words in the future. 

榕樹生須長  人叫神樹不應當   情意懇切來相勸   榕樹生須是氣根  榕樹危論丈     慾惜榕樹是應當  孥囝樹下好玩耍   大人坐涼歇骹痠。｜

榕树生须长   人叫神树不应当   情意恳切来相劝   榕树生须是气根  榕树危论丈    欲惜榕树是应当   孥囝树下好玩耍   大人坐凉歇骹痠。
