\n
Rock Hard by Yat Po Singers is an original a cappella musical created as a “retrospective” of Hong Kong, retracing the city\u2019s history through legends told by the older generations while looking forward to the future. The performance is delivered by a group of young a cappella singers, accompanied by a solo female dancer.\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Rock Hard won the 2009 CASH Golden Sail Music Award for the Best Serious Music Composition. A re-run was staged as the opening event of Hong Kong cultural programmes at the Shanghai World Expo 2010.<\/div>\n

I love to go a-wandering:
“See Hong Kong from above!”
And as I go, I love to sing,
And tell our tales with love.<\/p>\n

Val-deri, Val-dera, Val-deri,
Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-deri, Val-dera.
And tell our tales with love.<\/p>\n

I love to sing the days gone by:
The goddess patched the sky.
So I have heard, said an old bloke:
“Moving hills was no joke!”<\/p>\n

Val-deri, Val-dera.
And tell our tales with love.<\/p>\n

Mountaineers hike up and up
Wondering why life sucks!
Wanderers gaze at the sea
Waiting for some luck.<\/p>\n

Val-deri, Val-dera.
And tell our tales with love.<\/p>\n

The turtle climbs down just for fun,
Forsakes the mountain green.
Hong Kong dives the time might come
Like the yellow submarine.<\/p>\n

Val-deri, Val-dera.
And tell our tales with love.<\/p>\n

She’d only wait but would not weep \u2013
A woman of substance.
Yet I have no promise to keep
No song of endurance.<\/p>\n

Val-deri, Val-dera.
And tell our tales with rock.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
