Lyrics
(Verse 1)
She came from Guangdong, where the Pearl River flows,
To the streets of New Orleans, where the Mississippi rolls.
Trading rice fields for bayous, with a smile and a twirl,
She’s a southern belle now, that Guangdong girl.
(Chorus)
Guangdong girl, in a land of jazz and spice,
Where the air’s thick and heavy, and the rivers run twice.
From dim sum to gumbo, she finds her own way,
In the heart of the South, she’s here to stay.
(Verse 2)
She’s got a fierce spirit and a heart full of dreams,
In the French Quarter lights, she glows and she gleams.
With her head held high, she walks with pride,
In a city of stories, she’s got nothing to hide.
(Chorus)
Guangdong girl, in a land of jazz and spice,
Where the air’s thick and heavy, and the rivers run twice.
From dim sum to gumbo, she finds her own way,
In the heart of the South, she’s here to stay.
(Bridge)
The humidity wraps her like a warm embrace,
From the river’s reflection, she finds her place.
In the rhythm of life, she dances along,
To the beat of her own, she’s writing her song.
(Verse 3)
Though cultures may clash, she doesn’t mind,
In her heart, the two worlds are perfectly aligned.
With a nod to her roots and a wink to the skies,
She’s a Guangdong girl with a fire in her eyes.
(Chorus)
Guangdong girl, in a land of jazz and spice,
Where the air’s thick and heavy, and the rivers run twice.
From dim sum to gumbo, she finds her own way,
In the heart of the South, she’s here to stay.
(Outro)
From Guangdong to New Orleans, she made her mark,
In the city of dreams, she lights up the dark.
With a spirit so bold and a heart full of pearl,
She’s my favorite story, that Guangdong girl.
