歸鄉謠

村舍嫋嫋夢漸醒

The smoke from the kitchen chimneys awakedmy old memory

楊柳依依故園近 故園近

My hometown is near when I saw the wavingbranches of willows

南壠春韭芽新發

The spring leek in the south field began tobud

西林芳菲花著魂 花著魂

The flowers in the west forest recalled mychildhood

鄉村鄉路

The path in my hometown

鄉路鄉親

The people in my hometown

莫相忘啊永相憶

Don't forget and remember forever

從古就是一家人

We have been one family since ancient times

何必相隔骨肉分

We should not be separated

莫相忘啊永相憶

Don't forget and remember forever

莫相背啊永相親

Don’t turn your back and be close to eachother forever

當今才俊正奮發

Today's talents are working hard

雄強還看後來人

The heroes are among the next generation

還看後來人

Among the next generation

世紀一別成往事

I left home many years ago

孤帆歸客孝無門 孝無門

My parents passed away when I returned

老淚晶瑩剩幾顆

I cried with tears running out

鄉音無改少故人 少故人

No change in local accent, but fewerfriends

鄉親母親

My folks, my mother

夢中母親

My mother in my dream

莫相忘啊永相親

Don’t turn your back and be close to eachother forever

從古就是一家人

We have been one family since ancient times

何必相隔骨肉分

We should not be separated

莫相忘永相憶

Don't forget and remember forever

莫相背啊永相親

Don’t turn your back and be close to eachother forever

當今才俊正奮發

Today's talents are working hard

雄強還看後來人

The heroes are among the next generation

還看後來人

Among the next generation
