Teochew Song: My Dearest Mother 潮州歌曲：親愛媽媽 (English translations to lyrics)
记得细许滇时
Remember the days when I was small
山花开放香满天
Mountain flowers in bloom and fragrance filled the air
听着伊轻声教我念诗儿
Hearing her soft voice teaching me to read poems
慈母线 游子衣
The compassionate mother’s threads sew the clothes on the wandering son
丝丝暖意在身边
Delicateness and warmth by my side
倚着伊 满是温馨欢喜
Leaning against her, it's full of warmth and happiness

The Last Day of the Chinese New Year
Today is the 15th and last day of the Chinese New Year. Also called Tsap Ngou Meh 十五暝 or Nguang Siao Zoih 元宵節.
Teochews mark this day with prayers for the family, more feasting, riddle guessing games and open lantern parades. Because this day provided a rare opportunity for single young men and women to meet publicly in the past, it has also been compared as the "Chinese Valentine's Day".
On this beautiful note, we leave you with this wonderful Teochew language remix of Zhou Xuan's famous 1940 classic "Full Moon Blooming Flower" (月圓花好).

Teochew Nursery Rhymes Non-stop - 潮州童謠唱不停
This video, produced by a popular radio show of Shantou Radio & Television (STRTV, 汕頭電視台), strings together nearly 40 Teochew nursery rhymes.
Many of the nursery rhymes were written back in the times of an agricultural society and may be unfamiliar even to daddy or mummy. However, they could well be happy childhood memories of Ah Gong and Ah Ma, so more good reasons for big family-get-togethers.
Be Surprised - We Teochews Can Sing, and Beautifully So.
As an overseas Teochew, you probably have at least one, or two, or more favourite Cantonese or Mandarin pop song that grew up with you. And sometimes as the familiar tunes play themselves in your mind, you wonder, why can't we have the same in Teochew?
The Teochew songs that we had always been exposed to, apart from Teochew opera ones that we may appreciate but cannot understand, were folk ballads that can be cringeworthy, if not downright weird.
Thankfully, things are not all that bad. You see, we Teochews are not only good humoured, our language is rhythmic, we are creative, adaptable and we can sing too.
