作曲:头条梦三
作词:头条梦三
Pull the pole let it glide
Coal and tea on either side
Potters dyers rope-makers too
Boots on deck and bells ring true
A bamboo raft a sailcloth fleet
Rice sacks piled in the heat
One hundred and twenty trades awake
Every dockside shouts its stake
From the north wind down the bend
Every road finds the water's end
Hands are busy hearts are bold
Every load turns into gold
Grand Canal carry me home
Grand Canal carry me on
Yangzhou calls Yangzhou shines
Merchant dreams in a hundred lines
Grand Canal carry me home
Grand Canal carry me on
One hundred and twenty trades
Singin loud where the river sways
Copper pans and silk bolts bright
Fresh-cut lacquer in the light
Salt boats rock with a steady hum
Street by street the fortunes come
Makers laugh with flour on their sleeves
Ink and spice and woven leaves
Every bargain every bow
Builds a city from a tow
From the lock gate to the quay
All the world has found the way
Wind and water wheel and oar
Open every market door
Grand Canal carry me home
Grand Canal carry me on
Yangzhou calls Yangzhou shines
Merchant dreams in a hundred lines
Grand Canal carry me home
Grand Canal carry me on
One hundred and twenty trades
Singin loud where the river sways
Oh see the lanterns on the wake
Oh the silver wake they make
From the bend to the broad main bend
The road of water never ends
Grand Canal carry me home
Grand Canal carry me on
Yangzhou calls Yangzhou shines
Merchant dreams in a hundred lines
Grand Canal carry me home
Grand Canal carry me on
One hundred and twenty trades
Singin loud where the river sways
Grand Canal carry me home
Yangzhou take me along
