about

From Sophie's 4th studio album ' Book of Songs '

lyrics

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
Do not ask where I come from
My hometown lies far away
Why do I wander on?
In distant lands, I wander on.

For the birds that wheel in the sky
For the brooks that flow in the valleys
And for the vast green meadows,
In distant lands, I wander on.

And then, and then
For my dream-spun olive tree
Olive tree

Do not ask where I come from
My old hometown lies far away
Why do I wander on?
Why do I wander on, far away?

For my dream-spun olive tree.

Do not ask where I come from
My old hometown lies far away
Why do I wander on?
In distant lands, I wander on.

MANDARIN LYRICS:
不要問我從哪裡來
我的故鄉在遠方
為甚麼流浪
流浪遠方 流浪
為了天空飛翔的小鳥
為了山間輕流的小溪
為了寬闊的草原
流浪遠方 流浪
還有還有 為了夢中的橄欖樹
不要問我從哪裡來
我的故鄉在遠方
為甚麼流浪
為甚麼流浪遠方
為了我夢中的橄欖樹
