澳洲国庆日和中国农历新年


Lilydale Lake

1月26日,澳洲的国庆日“澳大利亚日”,全国放假一天。

今天也恰逢中国农历春节,全澳华人终于可以在大年初一不必去上班了。

和一群朋友在墨尔本东部远郊Lilydale聚会聚餐,欢度春节和“澳洲日”。


Celebrating The Things That Make Australia Unique

I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelin'
And I love bein' free
So I keep leavin' the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their families and friends
Ah, but as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends.

And someday we'll all be together once more
When all the ships come back to the shore
Then I realize something I've always known
I still call Australia home.

No matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home.

  1. 哪首歌以前没有在意过,第一次从头到尾听还是在7台转播北京奥运开幕式的时候插播航空公司广告的时候。

    就像《歌唱祖国》比喻的可能不太恰当。

    总之很好听。

  2. 第一次听到这歌曲, 是大概十来年前了,好听。后来国内一个卖什么的广告(好记星?——借了这个创意,过分。
    这个歌,还有SLIM DUSTY 和John Williamson,都是一听就会想起澳洲的歌曲,就是好听。
