While Sifu Wong was holidaying in Venice with Sifu Rama, he heard a beautiful Spanish song called “Solamente Una Vez”, which means “Only One Time”. Not knowing the wordings of the song, Sifu Wong lamented that it glorified having love for one night, then the lovers go their separate ways the next morning. Sifu Rama told Sifu Wong that this wasn't the meaning. In fact the meaning of the song is beautiful, to love and beloved only once and forever. Sifu Wong is very pleased with the meaning, saying that that is what we in Shaolin Wahnam advocate.

The wife of a corporate president sang a song for Sifu Wong. She said that she didn't know whether it was Chinese or Japanese. If it was Chinese, she hoped Sifu Wong would sing a song too. It turned out the song was Japanese.

The lyrics in Japanese are as follows:

Zuizui zukkorobashi gomamisozui chatsuboniowarete toppinshan nuketara dondokosho tawarano nezumi ga kome kutte chu, chu, chu, chu otousan ga yondemo okasan ga yondemo ikikkonaashiyo idonomawaride ochawan kaitano dare

The meaning is as follows:

Zuizui (for sound effect). The sound of fermented bean paste. The head samurai of the procession carrying a Tea Bowl has arrived. So everyone close your doors. Shyan (sound of doors closing). Once the procession has passed, what relief we all feel. As the procession passes, no one dares to breathe. It is so quiet that one can hear mice scrabbling about the straw rice containers. The mice eat the rice. Chyuu (sound of mice). Even though father calls, even though mother calls, nobody dares to move. Someone near the well has dropped and cracked a rice bowl. Who did it?

Both the lyrics and the meaning are provided by Sifu Emiko Hsuen.

Although the song was Japanese (see the video clip above), Sifu Wong said he would sing a song for them too. He was not a good singer, he said, but he would sing them a simple song which he was fond of and which he learned long ago as a boy scout.

The group, who is Spanish speaking, responds with the French, and the original, version of the song. The lyrics, supplied by Hubert, is as follows: Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques, Dormez-vous, dormez-vous?

Sifu Wong then sings a Cantonese version of the song which he learned during his scouting days. The wordings are interesting, as follows: “Ta hoi meng cheong, Ta hoi meng cheong, Yau chek meng, Yau chek meng, Fei tik lor pa sin lei, Fei tik lor pa sin lei, phut chor hui, Phut chor hui.” It means “Open the mosquito net, Open the mosquito net, There's a mosquito, There's a mosquito, Quickly bring a hand-fan, Quickly bring a hand-fan, Fan it away, Fan it away.”
