我的家乡 My Hometown

My Hometown I took a little trip to my hometown. I only stopped just to look around. And as I walked along the thoroughfare, there was music playing everywhere. The music came from within my heart. How did it happen? How did it start? I only know that I fell in love. I guess the answer lies up above*
Oh, what a feeling! My heart was reeling¹. The bells were ringing. The birds were singing. And so the music it goes on and on all through the night until the break of dawn. I hear a birdie up in a tree; I hear him sing this melody². And so he sings ya, ya, ya*
And every evening when the sun goes down, I*m with my lover³ in my hometown. And so I sing ya, ya, ya*
