Lyrics of old locust tree by Gan Yadan

old scholar tree

You stand by the ancient well and let the wind and snow fly

You look at the east end of the village and wait for me to come back to the house

You shake the flowers in the fragrant field and weave your childhood dreams

You put out your big arm to protect me from the cold and heat

You are as tall and straight as your grandfather's chest

You are Grandma's care

The fragrance of your flowers fragrance my tears

You listen to me in a foreign land in silence

Oh, old locust tree, old locust tree

All these years of busyness, all these years of hardship

Oh, old locust tree, old locust tree

Every time I dream of you in my dream, I dream of you in my dream

The wandering heart will not be lonely

You are as tall and straight as your grandfather's chest

You are Grandma's care

The fragrance of your flowers fragrance my tears

You listen to me in a foreign land in silence

Oh, old locust tree, old locust tree

All these years of busyness, all these years of hardship

Oh, old locust tree, old locust tree

Every time I dream of you in my dream, I dream of you in my dream

Oh, old locust tree, old locust tree

All these years of busyness, all these years of hardship

Oh, old locust tree, old locust tree

Every time I dream of you in my dream, I dream of you in my dream

The wandering heart will not be lonely
