[English]

Seeing the distant flat mountain ridge

Birds from home fly by

She looks just like that girl

It urges me to hurry back

I try to hold back passionate tears

Tears fall by the riverbank in this foreign land

The lingering affection of first love

It makes me miss those times

My beloved one from home

Seeing the distant plain

A couple sits by the grassy meadow

Why am I alone

My heart feels distant in this foreign land

I try to suppress the overwhelming sorrow

A solitary bird accompanies me in lonely times

Sometimes I vaguely recall

When will we finally meet?

My beloved one from home

Seeing the lush green hills

White clouds drift by

It feels like my own body

I keep wandering in this foreign land

I think of those times for a future

Leaving my lovely hometown

Hope you are happy

Looking forward to the day we meet

My beloved one from home

[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

故鄉心愛的彼個人

看見著遙遠彼平

情侶坐在草埔邊

怎樣我孤單一個

惦在他鄉心稀微

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

故鄉心愛的彼個人

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

想彼時為得前途

跳出可愛的故鄉

希望你快樂心情

期待著相會日子

故鄉心愛的彼個人
