Tears of farewell to hometown lyrics
My tearful eyes asked the flowers, but they didn't give me an answer.
I saw red flowers flying over the swing.
I have been away from my hometown for too long.
I have been away from my hometown for too long.
Tears wet the toilet paper, tears wet the heart.
Who knows how deep the parting is?
The most painful thing in the world
Parting is the most painful thing.
The wind blew over the mountain without moving.
My tears have dried up in front of the mountain.
Tears in my hometown, I can't send them back.
I can't send mountains and rivers to my hometown.
Tears farewell to hometown, tears farewell to love.
Who knows how deep the parting is?
The most painful thing in the world
Parting is the most painful thing.
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Tears farewell to hometown, tears farewell to love.
Who knows how deep the parting is?
The most painful thing in the world
Parting is the most painful thing.
