Celebrating the New Mansion

Daeuj daengz naj bakdou

Diep miz fouq doiq hung

Sawcih lumj duzlungz

Gyaeu lumj fungh bongh mbwn

我们来到大门前

开口先赞红对联

大笔一挥龙飞舞

字美如凤戏花园

Let’s look at the gate posts

With Chinese couplet pasted

Forceful like Loong flying

Graceful like phoenix dancing

Yamq din haeuj bakdou

Song mou ninz doiqnaj

Byaij daeuj daengz ding laj

Song duz max caemh cauz

抬脚进入门里边

几头肥猪睡眼前

慢走来到前厅下

两匹烈马同槽拴

Through the gate we ample

Two steeds abreast in stable

Beneath porch the eyes sweep

Fat pigs are in sound sleep

Yamq din hwnj mbaeklae

Rin’gyaeq gwnz namh baiz

Gyanghongh caez doxbaij

Lumj hai bak mboq lungz

台阶在前把脚抬

鹅卵石子地上排

天井正中拼图案

就像龙潭龙口开

Then on, stone steps we mount

Tiles in the courtyard loom

As a vigourous Loong

Parting mouth in the pond

Song mbiengj dwg ranzcauq

Gauh mbaj muengz cup va

Caiq yawjyawj ranzlaj

Lumj song max buet gyae

两边两间大厨房

似蝶双飞采花忙

再看厅侧两卧室

如马奔驰去远方

One kitchen on each side

As two butterflies spread wide

Each bedroom beside the hall

Look like a running horse

Gwnz ranz vax moq bik

Lumj dangq git duzlungz

Caiq danq diuz liengz hung

Lumjbaenz lungz iet hwt

房上瓦片片片新

层层叠叠似龙鳞

再赞厅中大梁柱

就像蛟龙把腰伸

Brand new are the roof tiles

They look like Loong’s scales

The roof beam’s strong and thick

Like Loong arching its back

Ndaw ding an goengham

Gwnz an bat yienghuj

Nienz coit cibngux

Baiq goengbuz hwnjyieng

大厅正中安神堂

香炉放在正中央

逢年过节遇十五

敬拜祖宗好烧香

Altar stands in rear wall

At its center lies censer

Hosts honor forefathers

On mid-month or festivals

Goengheij ciengx ndaej mou

Ciengx gaeq lai sou haeux

Ndaej youq haeuj ranzlaeuz

Ranz caeu miz cienz fanh

恭喜养得猪羊多

粮满仓来鸡满坡

恭喜主家新房子

日后富如金银窝

May your pigs fill pens

Harvest crops, raise more hens

May new house be gold mine

Wish hosts forever fine

Goengheij vunzding fanj

Lwglan doq coengmingz

Ngoenzlaeng bae gingsingz

Riengzmingz daengz seiqhenz

恭贺新居人丁旺

儿孙聪明有特长

日后京城去做事

四乡八邻美名扬

Wish the men more and more

Wish grandchildren rich in lore

Wish them good jobs found

Wish them well-known around
