Lyrics

I was born many moons ago
In a cave full of ice and snow
Never felt the warm winds blow
The blue of the coral sea
The happy shore of this new place
Welcomed me with a friendly face
Smiling eyes and island grace
Made me feel I belong
And now I want to say to you

Gan wun haah
For giving me the best
Gan wun haah
I never will forget
Thank you for the friendship
I never would have known
Kaohsiung Wo-de-peng-you (my friend/我的朋友)

Though I am from a distant star
I love all the things you are
The sunshine coast is never far
And markets through the nights
Cycling through my memories
Harbor lights and binlang trees
The simple life that I adore
Makes me want to visit again
So I can say to you

Gan wun haah
For giving me the best
Gan wun haah
I never will forget
Thank you for the friendship
The beauty of your soul
Kaohsiung Wo-de-peng-you (my friend/我的朋友)
