Formosa, Taiwan

This is a song which impeccably represents Taiwan, the island I love so much.

Enjoy it guys.

Here goes the translation of lyrics:

This beautiful island
like the hug of our mother
fathers are watching us
keeping telling us
working hard for a wonderful future

Surrounded by the ocean
this is the island of freedom
lovely sunshine is around
the mountains and the plains
people here are afraid of nothing
but working hard for a wonderful future
lively here
buffalo, rice, banana, and magnolia

beautiful Formosa
the most glorious pearl in the ocean


(the original)

我們搖籃的美麗島
是母親溫暖的懷抱
驕傲的祖先們正視著
正視著我們的腳步
他們一再重複地叮嚀
篳路藍縷 以啟山林
他們一再重複地叮嚀
篳路藍縷 以啟山林
婆娑無邊的太平洋
懷抱著自由的土地
溫暖的陽光照耀著
照耀著高山和原野
我們這裡有勇敢的人民
篳路藍縷 以啟山林
我們這裡有無窮的生命
水牛 稻米 香蕉 玉蘭花
我們這裡有勇敢的人民
篳路藍縷 以啟山林
我們這裡有無窮的生命
水牛 稻米 香蕉 玉蘭花
我們的名字叫做美麗
在汪洋中最瑰麗的珍珠
Formosa 美麗 Formosa
