站台渐渐远去
The platform slowly fades away
刚好下起了小雨
Just as the light rain begins to fall
爸妈嘱咐几句
Mom and dad shared a few words
要好好照顾自己
To take good care of yourself
六点半的火车上
On the train at half past six
一口没喝的豆浆
A sip-less soybean milk in hand
行李箱牵挂的重量
The weight of the suitcase I carry with care
经过了一段段
Passed through many segments
努力打拼的日子
Of days spent working hard
跌倒过很多次
I've stumbled many times
没有放弃这回事
Never did I give up on this idea
小时候大人爱讲
When I was young, adults would say
外面的天有多大
How vast the world outside is
有一天我也要去闯
One day I too shall dare to explore
流泪和流汗我不怕
I fear not the tears or sweat that fall
家乡那儿的歌谣
The folk songs from my hometown
对我来讲是种依靠
To me, they offer a sense of support
陪伴我多少次艰难
Accompanying me through many hardships
彩虹多绚烂 绚烂的多平凡
Rainbows so bright, yet ordinary in their beauty
画面里那样的好看
That scene, oh, how beautiful it looks
家乡那儿的歌谣
The songs of my hometown,
对我来讲是一种好
To me, they are a blessing,
是我最顽强的一角
They are my strongest corner.
每一次我感到沮丧就唱起歌谣
Whenever I feel down, I sing those songs,
这样就会看到原来的模样
And I see the way things once were.
经过了一段段
After going through many phases,
努力打拼的日子
Of hard work and striving days,
跌倒过很多次
I've stumbled many times,
没有放弃这回事
But giving up is not in my nature.
小时候大人爱讲
When I was young, adults loved to tell stories.
外面的天有多大
How vast the sky is outside,
有一天我也要去闯
One day I too will venture forth.
流泪和流汗我不怕
I fear not my tears or sweat.
家乡那儿的歌谣
The songs from my hometown,
对我来讲是种依靠
To me, they offer comfort.
陪伴我多少次艰难
They've been with me through many trials.
彩虹多绚烂 绚烂的多平凡
How splendid the rainbow is, so splendid yet so ordinary.
画面里那样的好看
So beautiful in the picture it paints.
家乡那儿的歌谣
The songs from my hometown,
对我来讲是一种好
To me, they are a true blessing.
是我最顽强的一角
It's the most resilient part of me
每一次我感到沮丧就唱起歌谣
Every time I'm feeling down, I sing a song
这样就会看到原来的模样
That way I'll see my true self again
每一次我感到沮丧就唱起歌谣
Every time I'm feeling down, I sing a song
这样就会看到原来的模样
That way I'll see my true self again
这样就会回到我来的地方
That way I'll return to where I came from
