Make me
Maybe with plantain trunk or thermocol
Maybe with scrap paper or newspaper
The material doesn’t matter, care does
All I crave is to be made with love, with enthusiasm
Decorate me with candle, cracker, Betle leaf, betel nut
Or just allow the simplicity to garland my body
All I want is to be decorated with a smile on your lips, a twinkle in your eyes
Paddle me
Maybe along with my friends or alone
Maybe in a lotus clad lake or in muddy rills
I feel neither superior nor inferior
All I need is to be paddled with hopes, with trust
After making me, decorating me, paddling me
Don’t just move back
Stay a little longer
Wish me goodbye a little louder
Look at me a little more
Feel that skip of the heartbeat when I wobble
Clap with glee when I speed up
And chant the maritime glory of your ancestors
A boat I am
Neither mechanised nor expensive
Neither laden with heaviness nor meant to travel a faraway land
But a little one I am
Fragile, yet confident
Simple, yet serene
In this carnival of culture, a celebrity I am
A little boat I am
