橄欖樹
(Olive Tree)

SSA with piano and violin (also available in TBB)
4:20 approx.

An arrangement of the popular Taiwanese song by Li Tai-Xiang.

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.
