Olive Tree
Lyrics: San Mao
Music: Li Tai-hsiang
**Don’t ask me where I come from
My homeland is far away
Why do I wander
Wander to the distant places, wander**
**For the birds soaring in the sky
For the streams flowing in the mountains
For the vast grasslands
Wandering to the distant places, wandering**
**And also,
For the olive tree in my dreams
The olive tree**
**Don’t ask me where I come from
My homeland is far away
Why do I wander
Why do I wander to the distant places**
**For the olive tree in my dreams
The olive tree**
This song expresses a deep sense of longing and nostalgia through its portrayal of the pursuit of the dreamlike olive tree, symbolizing freedom, dreams, and a distant homeland. The melody is beautiful, and the lyrics are heartfelt, making it a classic cherished by many.
