佮我來揭陽食杯茶
In our homeland, we have three main cities – Teochew, Swatow and
Gig4ion5 and this song is about Gig4ion5. YouTube sent me
this video yesterday and I thought I should write out the lyrics with our
Teochew characters and translate the song for you. I hope you will enjoy
listening to the song and learn some new Teochew words at the same time.
