Текст и перевод песни 任賢齊 - 老張的歌

老張的歌

天還沒亮 路燈還是明亮 老張推著車子出現在路旁
寒風中他縮著肩膀 孤獨把他的身影越拉越長

老張說他要回去故鄉 娶他那個還沒過門的新娘
泛黃的照片 朦朧的眼光 老張已想不起她的模樣

少小離家 說要出去闖闖 不到成功那天絕不回故鄉
現在的老張 視茫茫 髮蒼蒼
這裡的一切都不如我的想像 這裡並不是我追尋的天堂
我真的累 我什麼都不想

帶我回去吧 帶我回去吧 我聞到故鄉泥土的芬芳
帶我回去吧 帶我回去吧 我聽見母親呼喚兒回故鄉

少小離家 說要出去闖闖 不到成功那天絕不回故鄉
現在的老張 視茫茫 髮蒼蒼
這裡的一切都不如我的想像 這裡並不是我追尋的天堂
我真的累 我什麼都不想

帶我回去吧 帶我回去吧 我聞到故鄉泥土的芬芳
帶我回去吧 帶我回去吧 我聽見母親呼喚兒回故鄉

天漸漸亮 街上人來人往 獨不見老張出現在路旁
沒有誰會停下腳步來想一想 老張是不是已回故鄉 老張他真的已回故鄉

Old Zhang's Song

The sky is not bright yet, the street lights are still bright, Old Zhang pushes his cart and appears on the side of the road
In the cold wind, he shrinks his shoulders, and loneliness makes his figure stretch longer and longer

Old Zhang said he wanted to go back to his hometown and marry his bride who had not yet crossed the door
Yellowed photos, hazy eyes, Old Zhang can no longer remember her appearance

He left home at a young age, said he was going out to闖闖, and would never return to his hometown until the day he succeeded
Now Old Zhang has dim eyesight and gray hair
Everything here is not as I imagined, this is not the paradise I am looking for
I'm really tired, I don't want anything

Take me back, take me back, I smell the fragrance of my hometown's soil
Take me back, take me back, I hear my mother calling her son back to her hometown

He left home at a young age, said he was going out to闖闖, and would never return to his hometown until the day he succeeded
Now Old Zhang has dim eyesight and gray hair
Everything here is not as I imagined, this is not the paradise I am looking for
I'm really tired, I don't want anything

Take me back, take me back, I smell the fragrance of my hometown's soil
Take me back, take me back, I hear my mother calling her son back to her hometown

The sky is gradually getting brighter, people are coming and going on the street, but Old Zhang is not seen on the side of the road
No one will stop and think for a moment if Old Zhang has returned to his hometown, has Old Zhang really returned to his hometown
