Kantah Kristang: Marelu (Cover of Yellow, by Coldplay)

Kevin kantah Kristang! Kristang is the endangered language of the Portuguese Eurasian community in Malacca and Singapore, and one of my mother tongues. I'm not very good at it, having acquired it from dictionaries and a reference grammar, but I do my best to sing in it, because it's fun. Here's my own translation of Coldplay's "Yellow".
