Mercy in the wind... We are free, we are home... -------------------------- The Butterfly Lovers (Wings of Formosa) ​中文標題：梁祝（福爾摩沙之翼） ​[Verse 1] 我歌詠這片土地，萬物在此繁衍生息 (I sing of a land where the small things thrive) 那份溫柔的良善，守護著我們的生命 (Where the spirit of kindness keeps us alive) 這裡沒有冰冷鐵壁的陰影 (Not in the shadows of cold, iron walls) 只有那山靈神聖的呼喚 (But where the voice of the mountain calls) 我們憐愛每一片花瓣、羽翼與種子 (We cherish the petal, the wing, and the seed) 遠離那權欲與貪婪的渴求 (Beyond the hunger of power and greed) 在這座充滿生機的島嶼避風港 (In this island refuge, so vibrant and bright) 我們在晨曦中編織夢想 (We’re weaving our dreams in the morning light) ​[Verse 2] 遠方的河流或許已變得灰暗 (The rivers elsewhere may turn into gray) 森林的靈魂被交易殆盡 (As the soul of the forest is traded away) 但我們深記，生命是上天的饋贈 (But here we remember that life is a gift) 存在於每一座翠谷、每一陣海浪 (In every green valley, in every sea drift) 愛是傾聽，慈悲是與萬物共存 (To love is to listen, to care is to be) 如大海般自由，如波濤般優雅 (As wild and as graceful as waves on the sea) 這無關乎榮耀，也無關乎強權 (It’s not about glory, it’s not about might) 而是靜夜裡，那螢火蟲點點的微光 (It’s the glow of a firefly in the soft night) ​[Chorus] 我只想待在生命自由綻放的地方 (I only wanna be where life is free) 被大地與海洋的慈悲所環抱 (Wrapped in the mercy of earth and the sea) 當他人仍在構築那塵土般的權力高塔 (While others are building their towers of dust) 大自然的脈動才值得我們託付信任 (It’s the heartbeat of nature that carries our trust) 如同那對化蝶的戀人，我們將展翅高飛 (Like the butterfly lovers, we’ll soar and we’ll rise) 眼中映照著慈愛的光芒 (With the light of compassion in all of our eyes) 將我們的憂傷轉化為純金的雙翼 (Transforming our sorrow to wings of pure gold) 傳唱那尚未寫就的燦爛篇章 (A radiant story that’s yet to be told) ​[Bridge] 每個生命都是奇蹟，每一次呼吸都是歌謠 (Every life is a miracle, every breath is a song) 在福爾摩沙的懷抱裡，我們找到了歸屬 (In the arms of Formosa, we truly belong) ​[Outro] 生命的輝煌… (Radiance of life...) 風中的慈悲… (Mercy in the wind...) 我們自由了，我們回家了… (We are free, we are home...)
