Corrected Transtlation: Don't ask from where I have come, My home is far,far away Why do you wander so far, Wander so far,wander so far? For the little bird free I wander, For the medow green and wide, For the mountain high and blue I wander,wander so far Then,is there more? Yes,for the olive tree of my dream. Don't ask from where I have come, My home is far,far away. Why do you wander, Why do you wander so far,far away? For the Olive tree of my dream. Don't ask from where I have come, My home is far,far away, Why do you wander so far, Wander so far,wander so far
I like Zhu's wonderful songs so many years, I'm tying to translate into English: The Oliver Tree Never ask where's my home country My homeland's far and far away Why wandering so alone/Wandering so alone, far away For the flying bird spread freely For the flowing stream through the ravine For-the meadow wide and green Wandering so alone, far away There is more and more For the olive tree in my dream Olive tree! Never ask where's my home country My homeland is far, far away!
This song somehow makes me reminice all the good experiences I've had with my friends, all the interesting places I've explored in the past years. It makes me happy, but sad at the same time. It is unique and I love it.
It reminds me to Harry Potter and The Wheel of Time, all the marvellous things humans are capable of doing and sharing, the essence of life and existence...
This song really touched my soul....I'm studying Chinese (just starting) and this is the perfect motivation to do it. Thanks! ^^ Greetings from Costa Rica.
Dear Noxis, many thanks for posting this! Such a wonderful song! And guess what everybody: the song and even the whole CD can be downloaded from amazon com. Isn't that something? Best wishes from Germany
thanks to that vid titled "the longest way"... man! can u believe this? this beauuuutiful song has only 100k views! wow! i feel soo lucky to be among them. thank u ♥
GAN LAN SHU (OliveTree) (English translation by 1-800 auto-translation From 'A Special Smile 1979 soundtrack' ) Don't ask me where I come from My hometown is afar Why wander about Wander about the far-away place ...wander about A little bird that flies for the sake of the sky For the sake of the small river that lightly flows For the sake of the wide steppe Wander about the far-away place...wander about
Geldiğinizde biru burda varmış dersiniz. Bu arada sen dünyanın en güzel insanısın evet evet sen(you are most beatiful person in the world yes yes you are.)
for those looking for other versions of this song: original by Chyi Yu: 橄欖樹 - Chyi Yu and the best version imo: ua-cam.com/video/R1NzJzTu7KM/v-deo.htmlm11s
A qué clase de inspiración debe someterse el ser humano, qué debe haber visto, qué debe haber vivido, para poder crear una composición como esta. Canciones como estas van más allá de mi entendimiento, pero yo me conformo con poderla disfrutar chau.
Still have...still have..., For the sake of the olive tree, a dream of...olive tree Don't ask me where I come from My hometown is afar Why wander about why wander about so far-away place For the sake of my dream of...olive tree. Don't ask me where I come from My hometown is afar Why wander about Wander about the far-away place ...wander about
That's a different thing altogether, when we're talking about copyrights of course all covers should pay their due share to the owner of the song. But I was under the impression that we were talking about cultural "borrowing" here, which is basically the main means by which culture permeates from here to there, for all humankind to benefit from.
we may not be a match for your superior intellect but we do believe cultural "theft" from your own people is not theft at all, since there is no prejudice.
Can anybody direct me to similar songs? I love chinese traditional song stuff. Like in the movie "to live" (活着) you can see it on youtube, the guy with the puppet show tells a story in a singing style.

不要问我从哪里来，
我的故乡在远方，
为什么流浪？
流浪远方，流浪.
为了天空飞翔的小鸟，
为了山间清流的小溪，
为了宽阔的草原，
流浪远方，流浪.
还有，还有，
为了梦中的橄榄树，橄榄树.

I had to watch a guy walk across China to know about this song.
Thanks to the Internet.
Life is strange ain't it? That's what makes the internet so special, you may know where you'll begin but you don't know where you'll end up.
Same here!

I like Zhu's wonderful songs so many years, I'm tying to translate into English:
The Oliver Tree
Never ask where's my home country
My homeland's far and far away
Why wandering so alone/Wandering so alone, far away
For the flying bird spread freely
For the flowing stream through the ravine
For-the meadow wide and green
Wandering so alone, far away
There is more and more
For the olive tree in my dream
Olive tree!
Never ask where's my home country
My homeland is far, far away!
Added to Description
I apreaciate it thank you.
She was in Morocco and she wrote the song because she saw olive trees
She also us telling her lover my home land is far away from where she saw the olive tree
The best rendition of this song.
that's what I believe the voice of an angel must sound like.
Korean Jesus yes.

for some reason the beginning part brings tears to my eyes. :'(
something is reacting on a very deep subconscious level, for me at least
this is the soul of China
He aterrizado aquí desde The Longest Way, bonita canción.
This song really touched my soul....I'm studying Chinese (just starting) and this is the perfect motivation to do it. Thanks! ^^
Greetings from Costa Rica.
First heard this song on Colorado Public Radio in 2013.
From Russia with love. masterpiece. spasibo

(OliveTree)
(English translation by 1-800 auto-translation
From 'A Special Smile 1979 soundtrack' )
Don't ask me where I come from
My hometown is afar
Why wander about
Wander about the far-away place
...wander about
A little bird that flies for the sake of the sky
For the sake of the small river that lightly flows
For the sake of the wide steppe
Wander about the far-away place...wander about
Geldiğinizde biru burda varmış dersiniz. Bu arada sen dünyanın en güzel insanısın evet evet sen(you are most beatiful person in the world yes yes you are.)
Thanks for uploading =D
Excellent quality as well!

Who still listening.my blove 2020
The longest way brought me here.
Still have...still have...,
For the sake of the olive tree,
a dream of...olive tree
Don't ask me where I come from
My hometown is afar
Why wander about
why wander about so far-away place
For the sake of my dream of...olive tree.
Don't ask me where I come from
My hometown is afar
Why wander about
Wander about the far-away place
...wander about
Oh, I didn't translate the song, I think I found the translation somewhere on the internet. 😅 Still love this song. ❤
Who here came from the video, “The Longest Way” ?
I came the long way round
Me, but 14 years ago...and still love to return here. 😊

But I was under the impression that we were talking about cultural "borrowing" here, which is basically the main means by which culture permeates from here to there, for all humankind to benefit from.
Straight out of a Quentin Tarantino movie. I love it!
Thank you so much!
I guess,,, this is,,,,, the original.... If it is thanks to you Ive finally found it...
beautiful song.
Relaxing, just makes me want to close my eyes and listen.
Nice song but... the refrain equals "C'est La Vie" of Emerson, Lake & Palmer ??
Thank you!
Anyone care to add the Chinese and an English translation?
Dude i'm a lizard and i got the wrong song from The longest way
Muhteşem harika ötesi 😍🥰🌈🐎✨
Best part for me is in 3:10 hell tears like water fall
Love this song, cant remember what movie i heard this from...
Your smiling face 😁
Thanks!
thx fella ;)
this music sounds like 'Daun Daun Kering - Iramaya Sopha '
wow
The Longest Way brought me here...like damn! ;)
Stunning!
Longest Way brought me here :)
音乐超越任何地理和意识疆界，美好的音乐属于人类，何况同源文化。既然两岸同胞都欣赏认同它，不正说明优秀文化是共同财富吗，岛国的优秀文化是从五千年延续下来的，没有人说它是偷来的。这里不是辩论场，不如放下争议，一笑置之，站高一点，不究产地（准确说词曲来自哪个作家的大脑）和声源（两岸哪个歌者的喉咙），都来欣赏歌曲，陶冶情操吧，来这里的目的是一致的，不是吗?
that's like saying China stole from China.
Anybody know if this artist is still alive or what happened to her? Very beautiful song.
血好听！
Del video The longest way me he venido a escuchar esta canción bellisima!

beard video ftw!
Literally 90% of the people came from the longest way
Found this song by trying to find that Chinese basketball players highlights and spelling his name wrong.
Haha, Made my evening..
Why you gotta conflict always, for fuck sake, unite as chinese don't divide constantly. Anyway, can you give me the chinese lyrics of this song?
Music of chinese restaurant
Y E A H T H E B O Y S
Oye! What are you doing here???
Came here by the longest way : )
Olivo
It feels bad to shave a mighty beard. But it must be done.
beard video brought me here
This is the original...
1000 like :)
je verrais bien un "tschi tshi" de Lino sur cette intro...
TLW
Irrelevant, since they are basically the same genetic pool, they are therefore the same people, so it's illogical to say they steal from themselves.
Can anybody direct me to similar songs? I love chinese traditional song stuff. Like in the movie "to live" (活着) you can see it on youtube, the guy with the puppet show tells a story in a singing style.
Would somebody be nice enough to please translate the lyrics in pinyin?
:(
