A Lantern Kept On For You

By Mo-Yeh, Taipei, Formosa

In a place that sounds familiar,

A place you know so well,

Someone keeps a lantern,

Waiting for you in silence and faithfully.

The sky and ocean out here,

Are immense and ever vast.

You, free, keep marching farther,

Unbound and unpossessed.

Whenever you're feeling tired,

You can always return,

Embrace Her soft and tender love,

Which is ever there, with no regrets.

The one who sacrifices and never rejects,

The lantern burns forever,

As long as life can last.

When you get deeply weary,

From the lengthy worldwide trek,

For you, no need to worry

Because there's a cozy nest.

Where the lantern is on,

Someone is patiently waiting for you.

为你,守一盏灯

福尔摩沙台北莫野

一个你熟悉的地方

有人默默的执着

执着于一盏灯的守候

外面的海天宽广辽阔

你自由自在，越走越远

不要束缚，不被占有

疲惫时，还可回首拥抱

她那片无怨无悔的温柔

一个你知道，从不拒绝的付出

一生能够守候多么长久

这盏灯必定燃烧到永远

当你游倦天涯

无需担心回不到温暖的家

灯光亮着的地方

有人，为你殷殷相守
