青山原是我身邊伴 Lush green hills were my best buddies 伴着白雲在我前 With white clouds in front of me 碧海是我的心中樂 Turquoise seas were my melodies 與我風裡渡童年 Spent my childhood in the breeze
當初你面對山海約誓 You made your vows before hills and seas 此生相愛永不變 We'd love for eternity 想不到海山竟多變幻 Never thought hills and seas would change 再也不見舊時面 Those were the days we won't see
是誰令青山也變 Who befouled the lush green hills 變了俗氣的咀臉 Turned them to faces cheap and ill 又是誰令碧海也變 Who polluted the turquoise seas 變作濁流滔天 Made it a filthy swill
風中仍共你痴痴愛在 Against the wind we love all along 未讓暴雲壞諾言 Our vows unbroken by storm 即使那海枯青山陷 Should seas dry up and hills crumble 與你的約誓也不變遷 Our pledges will be ever strong
啊 啊 啊 啊 啊 啊 Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah... 河水彎又彎 冷然說憂患 Meandering river speaks of worries and woes 別我鄉里時 眼淚一串濕衣衫 When I leave my homeland tears trickle down my clothes
人於天地中 似螻蟻千萬 Humans in the world are like millions of ants 獨我苦笑離群 當日抑憤鬱心間 Alone I leave the crowds with a heart ridden in angst
若有輕舟強渡 有朝必定再返 If I can take a boat I will return one day 水漲水退 難免起落數番 Tides ebb and flow always ever which way 大地倚在河畔 水聲輕說變幻 The land rests by the river murmuring all the changes 夢裡依稀滿地青翠 但我鬢上已斑斑 In my dreams my homeland is green but my hair is going grey
