Paroles et traduction 李劍青 - 在家鄉

在家鄉

無論你多富裕 成為多麼顯赫的人
城裡的門檻被踏破 不再說方言
母親的家 總是要回的

舊大巴將你從城裡往鄉下送
泥霧越來越重 房子越來越散
行道樹代替路燈 指引你回家
吃飯的桌子上 灰蠅在飛

這就是你的故鄉 沒有跟上時代的步伐
每天早晨 人們在公雞的長鳴中起床
你坐的火車去了另一個地方 別人的 黑泥土 紅泥土 黃泥土
別人的家

你的思念 是久治不癒頑疾
你的鄉音 如母親給的胎記
歸來吧 遊子
功名沉浮 不必提
稚志初衷 別忘記

In My Hometown

No matter how rich you become, how powerful you become,
The city's threshold is broken, no longer speaking the dialect.
Mother's home, always has to go back.

The old bus takes you from the city to the countryside.
The fog is getting heavier and the houses are getting farther apart.
Street trees replace street lamps, guiding you home.
On the dining table, the houseflies are flying.

This is your hometown, failing to keep up with the times.
Every morning, people wake up to the crowing of roosters.
The train you took went to another place, others' black soil, red soil, yellow soil,
Other people's homes.

Your longing is a chronic illness that is hard to cure.
Your accent is like a birthmark given to you by your mother.
Come back, wanderer.
The ups and downs of fame and fortune, no need to mention.
Original aspiration, don't forget.
