Title: Don't Pick the Wildflowers on the Roadside
Lyrics: Lin Huangkun
Composer: Junxiong Li
Songwriter: Teresa Teng
Sending you to the village ? I have a word to say
While the flowers are already blooming ? I'm waiting for you every day
I'm waiting for you to come back. Don't ever forget me
Sending you to the village I have a message for you
Though the flowers are already blooming. Don't pick the wildflowers on the roadside
Remember my love, remember my love
Remember that I am waiting for you every day. I'm waiting for you every day
I'm waiting for you to come back. Don't ever forget me.
