落叶归根

落叶归根, Luo Ye Gui Gen, a song by Wang Lee Hom

 

Raising my head to gaze at the boundless grey clouds

That season is called "loneliness"

My sack is stuffed with household tools

Thus begins my journey

 

During the day, I cannot feel the warmth of the sun,

During the night, I cannot see the bluish moonlight

I had no choice but to choose the beginning of frigidity

Staying would only fill me with regrets.

 

The arrangements of fate

stems from nature's logic;

No one is able to discover the key to the puzzle.

 

Wo~ leaving my homeland without excessive sighs,

with all the dreams melting into the autumn night.

And I am akin to the falling leaves returning to their roots,

Hanging heavily in your heart.

 

No matter how much the resultant worries or loneliness,

I am willing to bear them all.

My love is like the falling leaves returning to their roots,

Home is when I am at your side.
