LYRICS

我爱家乡，白墙黛瓦，
Wǒ ài jiā xiāng, bái qiáng dài wǎ,
I love my hometown, white walls and black tiles,

石拱桥弯，流水静淌。
Shí gǒng qiáo wān, liú shuǐ jìng tǎng.
Curved stone arch bridge, flowing water quietly.

村庄静谧，问候亲切，
Cūn zhuāng jìng mì, wèn hòu qīn qiè,
The village is serene, greetings are warm,

炊烟袅袅，绕着檐下瓦影。
Chuī yān niǎo niǎo, rào zhe yán xià wǎ yǐng.
Cook smoke curls softly, winding around the tiled eaves' shadow.

爱那守望相助、充满温情的人家。
Ài nà shǒu wàng xiāng zhù, chōng mǎn wēn qíng de rén jiā.
Loving the families who watch over each other, full of warmth.

爱那金黄无垠的稻田，

Love the golden, boundless paddy fields,

爱那印满足迹的小路。

Love the paths printed with footprints.

爱槐树下盛夏的荫凉，
Ài huái shù xià shèng xià de yīn liáng,
Love the midsummer shade under the scholar tree,

纵然天涯海角，心仍系着老屋，
Zòng rán tiān yá hǎi jiǎo, xīn réng jì zhe lǎo wū,
Even at the ends of the earth, the heart remains tied to the old house,

怀念安宁净土，深情乡音难忘。
Huái niàn ān níng jìng tǔ, shēn qíng xiāng yīn nán wàng.
Missing this peaceful pure land, the deep affectionate hometown accent is unforgettable.

忆那热闹欢笑的简朴集市，
Yì nà rè nào huān xiào de jiǎn pǔ jí shì,
Remembering the lively and cheerful simple market,

忆那秋风起时、木樨花飘香，
Yì nà qiū fēng qǐ shí, mù xī huā piāo xiāng,
Remembering when the autumn wind rises, osmanthus flowers float their fragrance,

老邻居慢品着淡淡的粗茶。
Lǎo lín jū màn pǐn zhe dàn dàn de cū chá.
Old neighbors slowly savoring light plain tea.

外面的世界纵然风浪迭起，
Wài miàn de shì jiè zòng rán fēng làng dié qǐ,
Even though the outside world has rolling storms and waves,

乡亲们依旧重情重义。
Xiāng qīn men yī jiù zhòng qíng zhòng yì.
The villagers still value affection and righteousness.

河水长流，奔向远方天际，
Hé shuǐ cháng liú, bēn xiàng yuǎn fāng tiān jì,
The river flows endlessly, rushing toward the distant horizon,

清风细语，母亲歌声温柔。
Qīng fēng xì yǔ, mǔ qīn gē shēng wēn róu,
Gentle breeze whispers, mother's singing is soft.

静谧的故乡……永远铭刻心头。
Jìng mì de gù xiāng…… yǒng yuǎn míng kè xīn tóu.
Serene hometown… forever engraved in my heart.
