远方 (The Far End)

远方有多远
请你告诉我
东海日出北疆月
西洋波接南沙潮

How far is the far-end
May I comprehend
Where the sun rises in the east
and the Moon on Northern border
The Occident approaches the south
via the waves of Spratly Islands

历史有多远
请你告诉我
上下纵横五千年
西元还有二千岁

How long has run her history
May I know the answer for the query
She has crossed five thousand years
And after Anno Domini two thousand years


梦想有多远
请你告诉我
多少次晨钟敲暮鼓
多少回梦里思华夏
东西学渐应有路
明月重洋照丹心

How far a dream can fly
May I find
How many times the dusk had gloomed the aubade
How many times I have longed in my dream for Cathay
On the way to bridge the gap between the East and West
This loyal heart reflects the sheeny moon on the ocean far.
