Fold hands to pay respect to incense and flowers/ Returning home, I miss my parents so much!
Yellow leaves flying all autumn afternoon
Thin warm coat from straw
I come home with a bowl of fragrant rice
There is the smell of kitchen smoke, there is the scent of field wind
The tidal lagoon is still vast.
Erosion and sedimentation of the old river
The sound of rooster crowing at noon
The ferry dock waits for someone who has not returned yet.
I wander around the corner of the country lane
Where to find sickle, conical hat
Mother's betel mortar, father's pipe and bowl
The village gate is waiting for the buyer's gift package.
I hear the sound of temple bells
Remember the festival day, the gong rang many times...
The dream of mother's shadow is closer
Incense sticks fly away from the Buddha's door, gradually moving away.
Fold hands and pay respect to incense and flowers
Going back to my hometown, I miss my parents so much!
