遠方 (The Far End)

遠方有多遠
請你告訴我
東海日出北疆月
西洋波接南沙潮

How far is the far-end
May I comprehend
Where the sun rises in the east
and the Moon on Northern border
The Occident approaches the south
via the waves of Spratly Islands

曆史有多遠
請你告訴我
上下縱橫五千年
西元還有二千歲

How long has run her history
May I know the answer for the query
She has crossed five thousand years
And after Anno Domini two thousand years


夢想有多遠
請你告訴我
多少次晨鍾敲暮鼓
多少回夢裏思華夏
東西學漸應有路
明月重洋照丹心

How far a dream can fly
May I find
How many times the dusk had gloomed the aubade
How many times I have longed in my dream for Cathay
On the way to bridge the gap between the East and West
This loyal heart reflects the sheeny moon on the ocean far.
