Traduzione
I used to chase rabbits on that mountain
I used to fish for minnow in that river
I still dream of those days even now
Oh, how I miss my home townI wonder if my parents are doing well
I wonder if my old friends are alright
When it rains, when the wind blows
I think of my home townOnce I’ve done what I set out to do
I’ll return home one of these days
Where the mountains are green, my home town
And the water is clear, my home town
