==English Version==
The sky, the oceans, the mountains, the rivers, the fields, an old tree, a historic house, wisdom from our ancestors.

Skies are dusky, oceans are dark
Mountains deformed, rivers polluted
Fields filled with gravel, old trees cut down
Historic houses demolished, destruction without care
What's happening? While improvement silently sacrifices...

Ancient wisdom of our ancestors, slowly fading
from memories of the people
Why do salt tears fall on broken but endless fires,
those that burn down registered historic sites
The things big corporations do for profit (oh help!)
Scream as loud as you can,
but the government won’t hear you

Appeals written on white banners,
saying they would undergo investigation
But actually sharpening their knives in the dark
Reality is slicing you piece by piece
Seagulls fly into black smoke and never come back
How nasty can the air get in Taichung?
One by one, the residents of Taixi are falling sick
But you, you choose to stay

Oh remembering…the search for ancestral memories
Oh remembering…where do our children’s footprints lead?
Oh remembering…the search in vain for the way home

Places are changing, there’s dust everywhere
Now children even wear face masks
when playing on a swing
The worry for pollution lasting a lifetime
The government is hiding and covering their eyes,
also covering the eyes of the people
Cooperating with profiteering enterprises to raise land costs
What kind of market is this? Justice no longer persists

Those that wreck the homes of the black-faced spoonbill,
to open up a route more convenient
Those who oppose for no reason, you make us sick
Dreams need to be fulfilled
, and dolphins swimming the waters need our protection
Do you remember? When factory waste waters flow into rivers
Trees being cut down, and soil from the mountains spill into villages
Urban development collect private lands,
leaving none for our children to inherit
These merciless winds blew out the ancestral fires in our family home

For our children, for the land we were born into
For the heritage of our ancestors, for making Taiwan more beautiful
For the change I wish upon you, and for many more who would join you
on a journey to prove right from wrong
We battle against the unjust, for the justice of our lands

Oh remembering…the search for ancestral memories
Oh remembering…where do our children’s footprints lead?
Oh remembering…praying to the ancestors, may they bless us all

Bless the children, let them grow strong and tall in their sweet homes
Blessed with bodies of their own, minds of their own, culture and languages of their own
Blessed with lives of their own, a life with dignity
Blessed with individual voices, and a land to call their own.
A land to call their own…a land to call their own

Give back clear skies and fresh air
Give back wisdom and heritage of our ancestors
This is a protest for government officials,
profiteering enterprises and politics
Taking one firm footstep after another,
we’ll protect the justice for our lands
