Lyrics of "Farewell Hometown with Tears"
With tears in my eyes, I asked the flowers without saying a word, and the red flowers flew across the swing.
I have been away from my hometown for too long. I have been away from my hometown for too long.
The toilet paper is wet with tears and the heart is wet with tears. Who knows how deep the separation is.
The most painful thing in the world is separation.
The wind blows across the mountains without moving, and my tears have dried in front of the mountains.
The tears of hometown sounds cannot be sent back, nor can they be sent back to the mountains and rivers of my hometown.
I shed tears to bid farewell to my hometown, but my heart is full of love. Who knows how deep the farewell is.
The most painful thing in the world is separation.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
I shed tears to bid farewell to my hometown, but my heart is full of love. Who knows how deep the farewell is.
The most painful thing in the world is separation.
