Lyrics

作曲 : 江育達
作词 : 江育達
离开故乡tsiah济年 走唱天涯sì-kè去
行过寒冬到春天 唱kah土地无滋味
想起当初少年时 为着理想行向大都市去
青春鸟仔飞--出-去 思念故乡在半暝
听着你讲故乡是爱人 你讲故乡是lán ê爱人
我suah揣无我ê爱人仔 tī佗位 tī佗位~
目睭一nih已经三十四 坚持理想无了时
如今故乡有苦难时 流浪ê囝儿 做伙来转--去
故乡故乡你tī佗位 思念你ê笑 想起你ê甜
青春青春无了时 gún beh将理想来tshuā转--去
==English Version==
After all these years of being away
Singing my way through places big and small
Through seasons of winter and spring
I sang, until feelings went numb,
And still, everything remained the same
Remembering the time when I was young
I left for the city with ideals
A young bird leaving his nest
And at night missing home
I heard you say that the hometown is a lover
You said that the hometown is our lover
But I can’t find my lover
Where are you…where are you?
Blink of an eye and I’m thirty-four
There is no end to the persistence of ideals
But when the hometown is in trouble
Together, the children gone astray all return
Where is home?
Missing your smile, thinking about good times
Oh youth is an endless thing
I’m returning with my dreams
