[English]

I see those peaceful hills

Birds from my hometown fly over

Like that girl

Calling me to return quickly

Holding back tears of passion

Falling by the river in a foreign land

The lingering sweetness of first love

Draws me to reminisce about those days

My beloved in my hometown

I see those distant hills

Lovers sitting by the grassy fields

How can I be alone

Standing in a foreign land, feeling lost

Suppressing a heart full of worries

A lone bird keeps me company in my boredom

Suddenly, I vaguely remember

When will we meet again?

My beloved in my hometown

I see the lush green hills

White clouds drift by

Like my body

Wandering endlessly in a foreign land

Thinking of when, for the sake of my future

I left my beloved hometown

Hoping you are happy

Looking forward to the day we meet

My beloved in my hometown

[Chinese]

看見著彼平山嶺

故鄉鳥隻飛過來

那親像彼個姑娘

叫我卡緊回返去

忍抹住熱情珠淚

滴落異鄉的河邊

初戀的綿綿情意

引我來思念彼時

故鄉心愛彼個人

看見著遙遠彼平

情侶坐在草埔邊

怎樣我孤單一個

站在他鄉心稀微

忍抹住滿腹憂悶

孤鳥伴我無聊時

一時來茫茫想起

等何時才會相會

故鄉心愛彼個人

看見著青翠山崙

白雲飄來又飄去

那親像我的身軀

一直流浪他鄉里

想彼時為著前途

跳出可愛的故鄉

希望你快樂心情

期待著相會日子

故鄉心愛彼個人
