外婆的澎湖湾
Grandma's Penghu Bay
晚风轻拂澎湖湾白浪逐沙滩
The evening breeze gently caresses the white waves on the sandy shore
没有椰林缀斜阳只是一片海蓝蓝
No palm trees to adorn the sunset, just a blue expanse of sea
坐在门前的矮墙上一遍遍怀想
Sitting on the low wall in front of the door, lost in thoughts again and again
也是黄昏的沙滩上有着脚印两对半
Even on the dusk-kissed beach, there are footprints of two and a half pairs
那是外婆柱着杖将我手轻轻挽
That was Grandma, leaning on her cane, gently linking her hand with mine
踩着薄暮走向余晖暖暖的澎湖湾
Walking into the twilight towards the warm afterglow of Penghu Bay
一个脚印是笑语一串消磨许多时光
One footprint is laughter, a string that has worn away so much time
直到夜色吞没我俩在回家的路上
Until the night swallows us both on the road home
澎湖湾 澎湖湾 外婆的澎湖湾
Penghu Bay, Penghu Bay, Grandma's Penghu Bay
有我许多的童年幻想
Many childhood dreams reside within me
阳光沙滩海浪仙人掌
Sunshine, beaches, waves, and cacti
还有一位老船长
And there's an old captain
那是外婆柱着杖将我手轻轻挽
It’s my grandma, leaning on her cane, gently taking my hand
踩着薄暮走向余晖暖暖的澎湖湾
Stepping into twilight, heading towards the warm glow of Penghu Bay
一个脚印是笑语一串消磨许多时光
One footprint is laughter, a string that savors much time
直到夜色吞没我俩在回家的路上
Until the night swallows us both on the way home
澎湖湾 澎湖湾 外婆的澎湖湾
Penghu Bay, Penghu Bay, my grandma's Penghu Bay
有我许多的童年幻想
Many childhood dreams reside within me
阳光沙滩海浪仙人掌
Sunshine, beaches, waves, and cacti
还有一位老船长
There's still an old captain
还有一位老船长
There's still an old captain
