Where can I find Cantonese lyrics (in Jyutping or Pinyin) of Disney songs? I have downloaded Disney songs in Cantonese. But, I don't know where to get the lyrics in jyutping or pinyin. And I've already looked everywhere. :(

Some songs I can translate it and also write it in Jyutping. I'm a big Disney songs fan and mostly like Cantonese versions. I know it's a pity, that no one want to translate it. Cantonese is my mother language but I still don't know how to write. So I use http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/scripts/wordsearch.php?level=0 to translate or to search for words. Also I use Google translator to translate the whole lyrics. Then I find each single word of Jyutpings via www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk If someone has a better idea to understand Cantonese lyrics and texts, to add easily Jyutpings to the characters or easily make a text with simplified characters into traditional characters, then please tell me. Otherwise I have to work for hours to make a video with lyrics with traditional chinese characters, Jyutping and with english translations.

I'm sorry to tell you that you can only get your cantonese lyrics of these disney songs without their pronunciation. As far as I know, Cantonese is one kind of ancient Chinese languages which was born much earlier than Mandanin. And the pronunciation system of Cantonese is more complicated than the one of Mandarin. For example, there are nine pitches in Cantonese, but there are only four pitches in Mandarin. Nowadays, most of Cantonese speakers don't learn their accent or pronunciation by reading on Jyutping or Pinyin. They just practise and adjust their pronunciation from daily dialogues with others. Considering of the reason above, I suggest you should download the music video for those disney songs and practise more. Practice makes perfect. Wish you good luck.
