The endless green mountain stretches hundreds of miles, Extending skyward like a huge backdrop; Pushing its verdant peak through the clouds, Puffs of white clouds floating in the blue of the sky. The endless green mountain reaches hundreds of miles, On that mountainside a youth waits for his beauty; Lush green mountaintop projecting through clouds, There stands a young man bursting with love. Standing atop the peak, I look far and wide, At a vast expanse of ocean with green waves; From the lofty peak you glance downward, Looking for one who sings to you over and over. The endless green mountain spans hundreds of miles, Young man and young woman, now together; Beautiful green mountain peak thrusting through clouds, You and I fall in love on top of a hill, on top of the hill! |
