Welcome Home (You)
(你)终于回来了

When I left home to be who I am
Some people said, no way
But I laid it all down,
gave everything
In my head rang the words that my father said
当我离开故土 寻找自我
我也曾被否定过
而我不顾一切
全力以赴
耳边想起父亲当初的诉说
You’re never far, I will be where you are
And when you come to me
I will open my arms
你不曾远去 我就在你身旁
只要你需要我
我会伸出双手
Welcome home you, I know you by name
How do you do? I shine because of you today
So come and sit down, tell me how you are
I know, son, it’s good to just see your face
终于回来了 我曾养你长大
过得好吗?有你我今焕发荣辉
过来坐坐 讲讲你生活
孩子 我看见你便是幸福的

When I look at you, holding my heart
I would give to you all that I have
Son, I know, there’ll be times that
You will feel all alone,
I will share with you the words my father said
当我看着你 牵动我心窝
给你我所有都是值得
我知道你会有
孤独的时候
我的父亲也曾经告诉我
You are never far, I will be where you are
And when you come to me
You can bet I will open my arms
你不曾远去 我就在你身旁
只要你需要我
我一定会伸出我的双手
Welcome home you, I know you by name
How do you do? I shine because of you today
So come and sit down, tell me how you are
I know, son, it’s good just to see your face
终于回来了 我曾养你长大
过得好吗?有你我今焕发荣辉
过来坐坐 讲讲你生活
孩子 我看见你便是幸福的
Said I’ve been waiting for that day
Just to feel your warm embrace
Your love has shown, I will never be alone
For you will welcome me home
I’ll forever be for you will say to me
你那温暖的双臂
是那么样的久违
有你爱的光辉 我绝不孤独
因为总有你迎接我
我不会孤独 因为你总会说
Welcome home you, I know you by name
How do you do? I shine because of you today
So come and sit down tell me how you are
I know, son, it’s good just to see your face
终于回来了 我曾养你长大
过得好吗?有你我今焕发荣辉
过来坐坐 讲讲你生活
孩子 我看见你便是幸福的
When I left home to be who I am
Some people said, no way
当我离开故土 寻找自我
我也曾被否定过
