Land that I love, I will sing a song for you
Fields of grain gave me strength in my youth
With a father's hand and mother's love you cared and nurtured me
And I will always hold your right to sovereignty...oh oh oh oh oh oh
(CHORUS) Sing Sing Mei Li Dao Formosa Lily True
You're an island of hope in the Pacific blue........ oh oh oh oh oh oh
Sing Sing Mei Li Dao Formosa Lily you
Are an island of love in my heart too
Land that I love, I will sing a song for you
Mountains high, restless winds, skies of blue
Like a rainbow in your markets fruit and flowers add their hue
While girls with magic smiles make the young men swoon
(CHORUS)
And I will stand beside you through the storm
Together we are strong
And I will love your children black and white
Together we are one
----------------------------------------------
To the world I say come see this land of mine
Walk our streets, share our food, taste our wine
With a father's strength and mother's love you cared and nurtured me
And I will always hold her right to sovereignty.....oh oh oh oh oh oh
Sing Sing Mei Li Dao Formosa Lily true
You're an island of hope in the pacific blue........ oh oh oh oh oh oh
Sing Sing of dreams, I dream for you
You're an island of love, Formosa Lily
Formosa Lily
後記:
在1920中期,我的祖父來到台灣, 當時叫做”福爾摩沙”。 他以醫療幫助受苦的窮人。 1949,我的父親也繼續祖父的腳步, 用醫術醫治每個人, 不論社會上地位高低,沒有歧視, 人人平等, 上至當時總統, 下至窮困的人。
在台灣已待了大半輩子的我, 愛上這個國家。 是這裡的可愛又願意助人的人們使台灣成為世上最友善國家之一。我寫這首歌的目的是要讓世人認識台灣美麗的人。
