Lyrics and translation 林子祥 - 清河

清河

田 在吾家乡 每日发亮
河 在阳光里 弯弯转 轻轻唱
那天有青山 一切也不觉忧
那天我简单 敢相信永久
流 当天清河 为我们不断流
田 现时枯了 再没发亮
河 亦全干了 它不转 也不唱
再不见青山 当你与风远走
也许你当天 把一切带走
流 偏偏清河 梦里仍哭着流

流 偏偏清河 梦里仍哭着流

怎可了解 美好的会中断
怎么可以医好 这追忆里的倦
罢了罢了 亦高声地讲过
可笑每天只可 思念你更多
唯 默然想你 继续这样
唯 默然等你 归于我这方向
也许要多等 千百个冬与秋
也许这双手 必须牵你的手
流 今天清河 梦里仍哭着流

Ching Ho

The rice field in my hometown brightens every day
The river under the sunshine, curving around and softly singing
There's a mountain that day, all the worries are gone
I was simple that day, and dared to believe in forever
Flowing, that day, Ching Ho kept flowing for us
The rice field is now withered, no longer brightens
The river has also dried up, it doesn't curve, nor sing
I can't see the mountain anymore, since you and the wind went far away
Perhaps you took everything away that day
Flowing, Ching Ho in my dream still keeps flowing and weeping

Flowing, Ching Ho in my dream still keeps flowing and weeping

How could I know that good times would end
How could I heal this weariness in my memories
Forget it, forget it, I've also loudly said
It's funny that I can only miss you more every day
Only quietly thinking of you, and will continue like this
Only quietly waiting for you, to return to my direction
I may have to wait for thousands of winters and autumns
Perhaps these hands must hold yours
Flowing, today, Ching Ho still flows and cries in my dream
