MEI GUO
lyrics by Brian Yorkey
music by Woody Pak
performed by Brandon Kuwada, Hoon, Doan Mackenzie, and Welly Yang
My brother sailed the southern sea
The other went then sent for me
So we'd be three
Beautiful country
A change has come to old Nippon
I can't find work, my land is gone
So I move on
Beautiful country
Mei Guo
Me Gook
Bei Go Ku
Beautiful country
So they say
Only half a world away
The fancy man in Canton told
Of mountains made of solid gold
So I enrolled
Bountiful country
My journey, just a brief sojourn
I go the earn what I can earn
And then return
Bountiful country
Chorus
Clear as day
Just a few more miles away
Wo men yi lu zou lai
Wo men yi lu zou lai
Wo men yi lu zou lai
America, America
America, America
A joyless voyage from Toisan
With rice and water almost gone
I said, sail on!
Beautiful country
For twenty years I dreamed this day
My father saved and paved the way
So I could say
Beautiful country
Chorus
'Cross the bay
Only one more mile away
Night falls
Light fades
Still I say
Beautiful country
'Cross the bay
Only one more mile away
I'll see that shore one day
Haru kanu tokoro kara
Haru kana tokoro kara
America, America
America, America
Mulleeh, mulleeh wat no rah
America, America
America, America
