Song of Gulangyu Island
Lyrics: Zhang Li, Hongshu?
Music composed by: Zhong Limin
Original singer: Li Guangxi< /p>
The sea around Gulangyu Island is vast and the sea water is swollen with waves.
Gulangyu Island faces Taiwan Island in the distance, and Taiwan is my hometown.
When I climbed up to Sunlight Rock and looked out, I saw only a sea of ??clouds.
I long, I long, to see you soon, the beautiful Keelung Port.
My mother gave birth to me on Taiwan Island, and Keelung Port nourished me.
I clung to the old sailor and listened to him talk about the Sea Dragon King.
The charming story attracted me, and his eloquent words stuck in my mind.
I long, I long, to see you soon, beautiful Keelung Port!
The sea waves of Gulangyu Island are singing day and night, and the love between flesh and blood cannot be fully sung.
Scoop the homesick water in Buqian Strait, and the homesick water stirs up waves.
I am homesick and homesick, and I am drumming and drumming.
I long, I long, to see you soon, the beautiful Keelung Port.
