Lyrical Journey of a Lover through Taiwan-I
If you are the vast, ever-changing ocean,
I will be the sturdy mountain, holding you close,
Embracing your gentle morning waves with care,
And welcome your crashing tidal surges in the evening without fear.
If you are the radiant sun that brightens each day,
I will be the mighty Hehuanshan peak, basking in your brilliant rays,
Creating a vast space for all to admire your dazzling glow,
Let your eternal, loving warmth follow us wherever we go.
In Alishan's green embrace, tall cedars dance and sway,
Whispering sweet tales as lovers in a romantic play.
Sunrise dawns, painting the skies in vibrant, glowing hues,
Reminding me of the love in your eyes, a view I will never lose.
I will carve winding trails just for your wandering feet,
Guiding you along wherever our hiking paths meet.
Darling, never fear; I will always have your back,
Together, we will explore; no adventure we will lack.
If you are the soft, nourishing rain,
I will be the Zengwen Reservoir, receiving your affection,
Drinking like a man parched and rebirthed,
Quenching my deepest thirsts in my yearning soul.
When winter's biting chill makes our bodies shiver,
We will find solace in Guanziling hot spring haven,
Where our passionate essences can blend and delver,
With whispered tales and dreams to share until dawn's craven.
If you are a playful monkey swinging through the trees,
I will be lush Shoushan, a hidden haven for your mischief,
As hikers delight in your joyful dancing from branch to branch with ease,
Filling the air with laughter and cheerful melodies.
If you are an elegant sea turtle, gliding gracefully below,
I will be peaceful Liuqiu Island, a serene home to wander to and fro,
Captivating all with your gentle movements beneath the waves,
A rare, beautiful treasure in the ocean's vibrant depths.
If the stresses of life bear down, leaving you weary, my dear,
I will sweep you away to Kenting Beach; your worries will disappear,
Where you can bask in the sun's tender warmth and affection,
As soothing waves lovingly kiss your tired feet in perfect reflection,
My soul will turn into the soft sand beneath your feet there,
A healing place to lay, lulled by the ocean's soothing air.
