The Communists won and took over the mainland, and the Nationalists retreated to Taiwan. The soldiers who went with them are not from Taiwan and forced to start new lives there because they'd be killed if they go back. After around 40 years they were allowed to return to their old homes, but everything has become unrecognizable. A poor translation of the first few lines (the lyrics are a lot less direct than this) On those green roads How much pain have been experienced On that aged face Has also been marked by wind and frost ... At time of youth Forced to leave, never said goodbyes Looking back at yesterday's home Feelings of sadness every year But only the sunrise and sunset have never changed Looking at the fathers smile Unconsciously speechless Let the sunset seep through the tears On those open roads How many hopes and dreams have been trampled ... Long story short the song is about how war separates family and friends. Raetsel_Lapin posted... The singers got a fantastic voice Fun fact, for this song they got the guitarist to sing it instead of the usual lead singer because his voice was more fitting. <cite>handsomeboy2012 posted [p:949443571] in Raetsel co...
