skimming the dust on the windowsill

With the hot summer cicada chirping, autumn enters

I stood in front of the window and looked into the distance

A cool breeze blows into your dream

My fellow villagers, I look forward to reunion

That’s what I miss day after day

That is the deepest expectation of travelers

That’s a cruise ship full of foreign countries

Running to another sunrise

My hometown, I am looking forward to the autumn harvest

That is sowing year after year

That is the blessing of reincarnation over time

That is the dock that carries my hometown

Towards another spring and autumn

My compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, I am waiting for the return trip

That is the wish of hundreds of millions of people

That is the ambition of the Chinese people

That is the child of a wandering loving mother

Return to worship ancestors again

Cool, bathing every street

There are also passers-by and houses

My hometown, my hometown

My brothers and sisters, my Chinese nation
