The Call of the Orchard Hsu ChiCheng
The rosy door is opened, come in
I am a grown orchard in the South
Calling you in special and sweet words in the South
Come in, please come in
Come in, please come in
If you feel smothering hot and fatigued
Then, please come in
Come in and sit under a fruit tree leaning against the tree trunk
Sharing layers of coolness of the shade with the cushion of grassland
And have a long chat with your beautiful dream
Come in, please come in
Come in, please come in
So that birds’ singing could drip from among the leaves
To gently tap on your ear drum
To leave your gloom and sorrow far behind
To let the musical world bring you happiness
Come in, please come in
Come in, please come in
Put your feet gently on the branch of the tree
Gently pluck fruit into your mouth
Let sweetness and fragrance enshroud you
Let breeze dry the sweat on your forehead and build smile on your face
Come in, please come in
Come in, please come in
If you have a lovely sweetheart
Then, please come in
Come in and walk along the path in the orchard
Print your footprint here with love songs
Drink your nectar of love with your sweetheart
Come in, please come in
The rosy door has been opened, come in
I am a grown orchard in the South
Calling you in special and sweet words in the South
Come in, please come in
That GroveThat Grove, that grove we found jointly
That grove, that grove our secrets were concealed
That grove, that grove permeated with our love
That grove, that grove the vulgar seldom go to
That grove, that grove leaves our memories forever
Those china firs, those china firs stand silently
Those sunlight, those sunlight pass through the leaves
Those birds’ songs, those birds’ songs dropping down treetop
Those grasses, those grasses so ceaseless and soft
Those fallen leaves, those fallen leaves withered and brown
Those breeze, those breeze mild and gentle
Those laughter, those laughter no worry at all
Those singings, those singings rise and fall with pleasure
Those whispers, those whispers come from the hearts
Those calm sittings, those calm sittings deep and long
Those walking, those walking leisurely and carefree
Those shouting, those shouting for no reasons whatsoever
That grove, that grove we found jointly
That grove, that grove our secrets were concealed
That grove, that grove permeated with our love
That grove, that grove the vulgar seldom go to
That grove, that grove leaves our memories forever
The Spring WindThe spring wind comes. I know
Your face is the source of the spring wind
Turn your face toward me please! Meize
There are the very warm on your face
And also the beautiful flowers of smile
Oh, your face planted the sunshine
And also the small and fragmentary footsteps
Meize, your face planted the very beauty
Planted, Meize, planted the labyrinth of the green
And also the language that conquer my sentiment
Turn your face toward me please! Meize
I’ll drink in your sweet smile
Drink in your very tender and fullness
Drink in your very sweetness and chastity
Turn your face toward me please! Meize
It’s right, Meize
When you turn your face toward me now
I do feel that whole my thirst blow into green
Your bright eyes loiter in my heart, Meize
I’ll tell you that your bright eyes are very shining, very loud……
