Lyric:
My
friend, my friend, my friend!
If you really want me to leave my regards,
Then I would like to present a measure of sincere praise:
Ah—Guilin, Yangshuo!
There is a place as beautiful as paradise,
Which is this one-hundred-mile gallery, this one-hundred-mile Li River,
Embellished by the strong fragrance of osmanthus blossoms.
Ah—one hundred miles of clear and clean water,
one
hundred miles of beautiful mountains,
Which intoxicate me right from the beginning.
Intoxicate me, intoxicate me—right from the beginning!
I remember seeing such mysterious green water and verdant
mountains in my dreams long ago;
Now, right now, every single scene from then appears in front of me.
How could I not have thoughts crowding my mind?
Ah, the special and unique bamboo rafts, the flat fishing boats,
floating lightly on
the water,
Imparting a wonderful feeling—a feeling of roaming leisurely in Heaven,
Making me want to linger here, linger here!
Ah—Guilin, Yangshuo!
I like you, I like you;
I like your calmness, leisure, harmony, beauty!
I know, I know that your always exciting rivers and mountains nourish,
nourish so many moving love stories,
Preserving so many mystical and charming legends,
Earning so much passionate praise!
Ah—Guilin, Yangshuo!
I really wish, really wish to give my heart to you,
Give my heart to you,
And be with you forever,
Together sharing, sharing this mystical beauty created by great nature,
This mystical beauty created by great nature!
My friend, my friend, my friend! |
