鄉愁四韻 (Live)

詞: 余光中

給我一瓢長江水啊長江水
那酒一樣的長江水
那醉酒的滋味是鄉愁的滋味
給我一瓢長江水啊長江水

給我一張海棠紅啊海棠紅
那血一樣的海棠紅
那沸血的燒痛是鄉愁的燒痛
給我一張海棠紅啊海棠紅

給我一片雪花白呀雪花白
那信一樣的雪花白
那家信的等待是鄉愁的等待
給我一片雪花白呀雪花白

給我一朵臘梅香呀臘梅香
那母親一樣的臘梅香
那母親的芬芳是鄉土的芬芳
給我一朵臘梅香呀臘梅香

Four Silences of Homesickness (Live)

Lyrics: Yu Kuang-chung

Give me a dipper of Yangtze River water, oh Yangtze River water
That wine-like Yangtze River water
That drunken flavor is the flavor of homesickness
Give me a dipper of Yangtze River water, oh Yangtze River water

Give me a sheet of crabapple red, oh crabapple red
That blood-like crabapple red
That seething, burning pain is the burning pain of homesickness
Give me a sheet of crabapple red, oh crabapple red

Give me a piece of snow white, oh snow white
That letter-like snow white
That homesick wait for a letter from home
Give me a piece of snow white, oh snow white

Give me a bloom of臘梅 fragrance, oh臘梅 fragrance
That mother-like臘梅 fragrance
That mother's fragrance is the fragrance of the homeland
Give me a bloom of臘梅 fragrance, oh臘梅 fragrance
