W:这绿岛像一隻船在月夜里摇呀摇
W:姑娘哟妳也在我的心海裡飘呀飘
W:让我的歌声随那微风吹開了妳的窗簾
W:让我的衷情随那流水不断的向妳倾诉
W:
W:椰子树的长影掩不住我的情意
W:明媚的月光更照亮了我的心
W:这绿岛的夜已经这样沉静
W:姑娘哟妳为什么还是默默无语

W:This Green Island is like a boat, floating in the moonlight,
W:My darling, you too are floating in the sea of my heart,
W:Let the sound of my song follow the breeze, blowing open the curtain of your window,
W:Let my love follow the flowing water, endlessly pouring out its feelings for you.
W:
W:The long shadows of the palm trees cannot conceal my love,
W:The bright beauty of the moonlight casts its brilliance into my heart.
W:This Green Island night is so calm and serene,
W:My darling, why are you silent, saying nothing?
