How can I desert you?
How to tell you why?
Coachmen, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye
To bridge and river
Forest and waterfall
Orchard sea and sky
Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all
I'll bless my homeland till I die
How to break the tide?
We have shared our tears
And shared our sorrows
Though the scars remain
And tears will never dry
I'll bless my homeland till I die
Never to return
Finally breaking free
You are all I know
You have raised me
How to turn away?
How to close the door?
How to go where I have never gone before?
How can I desert you?
How to tell you why?
Coachmen, hold the horses
Stay, I pray you
Let me have a moment
Let me say goodbye
Aah (ooh)
Aah (ooh)
Harsh and sweet and bitter to leave it all
I'll bless my homeland till I die
I'll bless my homeland
I'll bless my homeland
I'll bless my homeland till I die
