Hargai, budaya kita
Kami berkumpul dengan hati yang ria
Jangan lupa keluarga kamu
Tunjukkan kasih sayang kepada tetamu
Ambik penyepit dan angkat tinggi-tinggi!
Jom meraikan majlis perayaan ini!
Campurkan semua bahan di atas pinggan!
Teriak kuat — jangan segan!
Panjang umur dan sejahtera!
Bersinar terang, budaya kita!
Jangan menahan, angkat lebih tinggi!
Selepas ini, pasti menang duit main Cherki!
Lo hei 捞起 — Spirit of the Chetti people by Ryan Joshua Mahindapala, FRSA
(We must) Appreciate our culture
We gather with happy hearts
Do not forget your family
Show love to your guests
Grab the chopsticks and lift high!
Let’s celebrate this festival!
Mix all the ingredients on the plate!
Shout out loud — don’t be shy!
Long life and prosperity!
May our culture burn bright!
Don’t hold back, lift higher!
After this, you will win money playing Cherki!
