Hometown, Taiwan

Composed and arranged by Wanwan Tseng

Lyrics by Dada Ho

I can feel it in the air, eight thousand miles away
Smells like a Rotten egg, where I used to stay

I can see that Banyan Tree, thru the Window grills
It’s been like 40 years , have you shaved your beard?

My favorite Xmas tree, scary face pumpkins
Brick walls in white and red, house of memories

My knees ache everyday, and my hair might be grey
But ask me where I’m from, I will not forget

I miss my hometown, where I long to be
The rain, the Green and Breeze, in the golden years.

Growing up happens, just in a blink.
Take me back to Taiwan, to the 70's

Water Buffalos on the street, mangos on the trees.
I love the Puppet shows, mighty monkey King

Bell bottoms made me dance, doing chicken dance
I learnt my first move, Dancing to Bee Gees

Riding down the island I get to Eluanbi
Where I should have visited before
Tianmu Shipai Yangmingshan Beitou McCully Beach
The kids on the bus Bus go up and down

Dragon ball iron egg Duck head and Chicken feet
One more Taiwan Beer for the treats
你好 Pengyo I love you Formosa 我愛你
Lovely memories…

I miss my hometown, where I long to be
The rain, the Green and Breeze, in the golden years.

Growing up happens, just in a blink.
Take me back to Taiwan, to the 70's
