Translation of the song 鐵塔凌雲 artist Sam Hui

Chinese (Cantonese)

鐵塔凌雲

English translation

Eiffel Tower Above Clouds

鐵塔凌雲,望不見歡欣人面,

Eiffel Tower over the clouds cannot see joyous faces,

富士聳峙,聽不見遊人歡笑,

Lofty Fuji Mountain cannot hear visitors laughter,

自由神像,在遠方迷霧,

The Statue of Liberty is in the distant fog,

山長水遠未入其懷抱,

Far away nothing can get into its embrace,

*檀島灘岸點點燐光,

*The reflection of lights at the seashore of Hawaii,

豈能及漁燈在彼邦?

How can it compare to the fishing lights in the other state?

*俯首低問何時何方何模樣,

*Lower my head and ask softly, when? At what point? With which appearance?

回音輕傳此時此處此模樣,

A light echo arrives, now, at this point and with this appearance.

何須多見復多求,

Why should I see and ask more?

且唱一曲歸途上,

And (I) sing a song on the way home,

此時此處此模樣,此模樣。

Now, at this point and with this appearance, with this appearance.

Repeat*
