Hong Kong Nocturne (香江花月夜)

Hongkong nights are uniquely beautiful

Brilliant neon lights

Add glamour to the foggy night

Hongkong is a lovers' paradise

Love like mist, covers blemishes

Evening breeze ripples the sea

Lovers around on Rendezvous Path

Tiny stars cast curious glances

May happiness be with you always

Manager Yueh!

What do you think of sisters' dance?

They're talented and pretty

Otherwise

who'd be here

watching the old magician!

Is this your new composition?

It's great! Terrific!

Evening breeze ripples the sea

Lovers around on Rendezvous Path

Tiny stars cast curious glances

May happiness be with you always

I am the spring sun

I emit warm and brilliant rays

I am the moon, soft and tender

I dream of my lover every night

Twinkling stars k their charming eyes

They shine over Hongkong each night

The moon creeps up to the sky

the stars are busily watching

The sun lingers on at twilight

The glow of sunset brightens the sky

Moon, stars, and sun sing as one

Hongkong nights are uniquely beautiful

Brilliant neon lights

Add glamour to the foggy night

Hongkong is a lovers' paradise

Love like mist, covers blemishes

Evening breeze ripples the sea

Lovers around on Rendezvous Path

Tiny stars cast curious glances

May happiness be with you always

Uncle Chia

Did you hear me?

All the clapping

is from my patrons

They're applauding us!

Another new song!

Where is the other copy?

This is not for you

Come in, please

Yes, who's speaking?

Sure, hold the line, please

You're wanted on the phone, Mr. Chia

Sweetheart! Darling!

May I have the money now?

Don't worry

I'll have the money soon

Just go back and wait for me

No, meet me at the Pearl Club!

The Pearl Club?

Yes

There's an A-go-go contest on

I need you as my partner

But it's for teenagers!

I...

Aren't you my little pet?

All right, I'm coming over!

Behave yourself!

Behave yourself!

There are many teddy boys around

What are you doing, old wolf?

I must talk to you,

Manager Yueh!

That old playboy!

Hsiao Hua, work on him hard!

Sure, let's dance now!

Here's your salary for this month

Your advance for next month

One third of it is yours

What?

Two third goes to your 3 daughters

Do I get just one third?

The patrons like your daughters,

not you

Let me tell you frankly

Your daughters have spoken to me,

and asked me to give you the money

Don't you dare spend,

...their wages

or you'll end up in trouble!

They won't go against me

I raised all three of them!

It's such a pleasant tune!

It is, indeed

Thank you!

The Pearl Club will hold

an A-go-go contest tonight

The band leader is my friend

He promised to play me this number

Shall we join them there?

A good idea!

I don't much care for the dance

but it should be fun

at the club

We'll join the contest, too

We'll join the contest, too

Fine, let's do that

Swell idea! Shall we go?

I won't go

I've got a date tonight

Mr. Lin again?

Mr. Lin again?

You always complain that our fun

is interrupted by daddy's work

This is a great chance for us

to enjoy an evening on our own

Mr. Chen Tze-ching is a composer too

All right, we'll do that

I'll ask Mr. Lin to meet us at the club

Deliver this to Mr. Lin

at table No. 10

It's our pay day, Ting Ting!

Let's see the manager about it

Daddy's drawn our wages in the past

So I asked the boss not to pay him

this time

I'd like to dance through the night

Tsui Tsui!

Mr. Chen and the band leader

will start

a dance troupe. Why not join them?

I won't be able to

Mr. Lin will make me

a movie star

He knows quite a few producers and directors

He said after I went to Japan he'd...

Daddy's taken the money again!

He even drew an advance

What?

He's disappeared with the money

He had a phone call,

didn't he?

Must be from that woman again

We can't let him get away with it

Here he comes!

Get working on him!

Just leave it to me

Hi darling! Let's dance!

Come on!

How can I?

Where's the money?

Here with me

You're marvellous

I really can't keep up with it!

I want to join the A-go-go contest

You may go now if you wish

Come on! Let's go!

Where's our money, papa?

She's taken it again

She's fooling you!

I've never fooled him!

What if I happen to love him?

My brother and I will join the contest

Darling, cheer for us will you!

Ladies and Gentlemen!

Attention, please!

The A-go-go contest

will start now

You are all welcome to enter

The winning team

will receive $3,000

Papa!

I must see you after the contest

You'll win, Ting Ting!

Tze-ching, you're just in time

Sit down, Mr. Chia!

Have you a new number?

I'm still working on it!

Their act is a great attraction

Many have come just for the dance

No, they came to see me

Is that so!

Keep it up! You'll make it!

Keep it up! You'll make it!

I've spent a fortune on her

The tiny bird with fragile wings

suddenly plunges in flames

Like one blindly in love

who finds thrills in danger

A go-go, A go-go

A go-go, A go-go!

Let's dance to our hearts' content

Forget all past worries

Let's begin our lives anew

I wish to become a fire bird

Soaring endlessly into the sky

Flames symbolise the light

I must approach them at any cost

A go-go, A go-go

A go-go, A go-go!
