土質是不是肥沃
幅度夠不夠寬大
風景夠不夠美麗
適不適合我居住
那是另一回事
我可不管這些
我堅持：
要在這裡居住下去
因為我愛這塊土地

我是一棵神奇的樹
根特別的大而厚
定力特別堅強
既然出生在這裡
我就要永遠居住在這裡
要把根釘下去，釘下去
不管有什麼阻力
深深釘下去，釘牢這塊土地
堅定不移，牢不可拔

即使有人笑我傻，說我笨
甚至孤立我，欺壓我
我都不管
我有我的堅持
我不是那些候鳥
我愛這塊土地
我要住在這裡
要把根釘下去，深深釘下去
釘牢這塊土地

我的根大又厚
這就是證據，就是宣示：
我屬於這塊土地
我堅持不離開這塊土地
不管干擾的外力如何：
風雨再大，霜雪再冷，炙陽再烈
都動搖不了我這個信念
我一定要在這裡堅強挺立
堅強挺立，直到永遠……

The Prop-Root　Hsu ChiCheng

I never mind
Whether the soil is fertile or not
Whether it is large or not
Whether the scenery is beautiful or not
Whether it is fit for me to live or not
I never mind these
I only persist：
I will reside here long
For I love this land

I am a magical tree
My main root is large, thick
And strong
Since I was born here
I will reside here abidingly
I will take my root deeply and firmly here
No matter how many difficulties I will meet
I will unshakably take root here
Deeply and firmly

Even if someone laughs me and treats me as a fool
Even isolates me and press me
I will never mind
I only persist my own ideal
I am not a migratory bird
I love this land
I will reside here abidingly
And take root deeply and firmly
In this land…
My root is large and thick
It is a proof that shows:
I am of this land
I will never leave this land
No matter how external force interfere
The wind, rain, snow and burning sun
Cannot shake my faith
I will stand here erectly
Towering uprightly eternally…
