Verse 1
Left home when I was young, I dream of returning again
My accent has changed, my face has changed through the years
Nervous to come home, my heart is tangled in love
The taste of my hometown, never fades, never far
Verse 2
Winds of memory sweep over the sky
Into my old home, familiar yet I don’t know why
My thoughts drift away to the days long gone by
A poem in my heart, shining under the sky
Chorus
This love grows stronger, the taste of home so sweet
Every bite fills my soul with warmth complete
Jingzhou has flavors that shine so bright
Come taste the joy, feel the warmth inside
Verse 3
The ancient wall still stands through all the time
Telling old stories in its timeless rhyme
By Weishui Dam, the waves gently sway
Like strings of time, playing yesterday
Taohua Mountain blooms in a colorful scene
Fragrance in the air, making the spring so green
Songzi’s fine wine warms my heart and my soul
Its mellow taste makes me feel whole
Rap
Yo, Gong’an guokui, big and round, crispy and fine
One bite, the flavor’s dancing on my tongue divine
Shashi rice noodles, smooth and bright, one of a kind
They make me happy, leave my worries far behind
Jingzhou fish cake, tender, fresh, a famous treat
I just can’t stop, it’s so hard to defeat
Jianli tuanzi, soft and white, a sweet delight
Every bite’s a love letter, my hometown day and night
Walking old lanes where old memories stay
Busy crowds and lights that light up my way
Streets of Chanling, stories of Jiangling
My love for my hometown, deep in everything
Chorus
This love grows stronger, the taste of home so sweet
Every bite fills my soul with warmth complete
Jingzhou has flavors that shine so bright
Come taste the joy, feel the warmth inside
Wherever you go, you’ll never be alone
The taste of Jingzhou will always lead you home
