送你一把泥土

听说你将远渡重洋
到国外开创锦绣前途
送你一把故乡的泥土
它代表我的叮咛和祝福

*今后无论你在何处
别忘了这把故乡泥土
除了对我绵绵的思念
请坚守这块神圣的国土

**这把泥土，这把泥土
春雷打过野火烧过
杜鹃花层层飘落过
这把泥土，这把泥土
祖先耕过敌人踏过
你我曾经牵手走过

Giving You Handful of Soil

I’m told you’re leaving for overseas
To explore for a brighter future
Giving you handful of soil from home town
That represents my caring and blessing

*From now on no matter where you are
Don’t forget this handful of soil from home
Other than brings you memories of me
Please hold fast to the land of your country

**This bit of soil, this bit of soil
Came across spring thunder and fire
Covered by fallen flower petals
This bit of soil, this bit of soil
Farmed by forebear, trod by enemy
We had walked on it hand in hand
