Lyrics for Moon in a Foreign Land

How many roads I have traveled, thousands of rivers and mountains,
How many people I have met, complex and simple,
How many stories I have heard, reunion and separation,
The biggest wish is to go home and to reunite.
 
These unstoppable footsteps have traveled far,
And the forgotten past has been recalled several times,
In the deepest night, I am used to insomnia, and living well is a beautiful lie
 
The moon in a foreign land shines in front of the window,
The attachment to home is hidden in my heart,
The moon in a foreign land is so close and so far away,
It is overcast, cloudy, sunny, and full,
It tells the joys and sorrows of the world
 
The moon in a foreign land illuminates me,
The face of the people I care about warm my heart,
The moon in a foreign land,
The longing that I can't hide,
The wanderer in the distance want to return to my parents,
The sky in the distance has my most affectionate wishes
