Chinese words by Xue Fan
我获得自由回乡去，
不知命运安排给我是什么；
我曾经写信告诉你说不久要释放。
想必你知道怎样做，
假如你还要我，
假如你还要我，
就在老橡树上系根黄丝带。
分别有三载，
你还爱不爱？
假如我见不到老橡树上黄丝带，
就不再下车，
把旧情抛开，
把自己责怪，
假如我见不到老橡树上系着黄丝带。
请司机帮我看一下，
我真不敢看见前方有什么；
像依旧蹲着监牢，
等待她来开铁锁，
只一根黄丝带就能给我自由和快活。
我写信对她说：——
就在老橡树上系根黄丝带。
分别有三载，
你还爱不爱？
假如我见不到老橡树上黄丝带，
就不再下车，
把旧情抛开，
把自己责怪，
假如我见不到老橡树上系着黄丝带。
忽听得车上齐声欢叫
我真不敢相信
啊，只见树上挂着成百条黄丝带
老橡树系上黄丝带。
I'm comin' home I've done my time
Now I've got to know what is and isn't mine
If you received my letter telling you I'd soon be free
Then you'll know just what to do
If you still want me
If you still want me
Whoa tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me? (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Bus driver please look for me
'cause I couldn't bear to see what I might see
I'm really still in prison
And my love she holds the key
A simple yellow ribbon's what I need to set me free
I wrote and told her please
Whoa tie a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
It's been three long years
Do you still want me? (still want me)
If I don't see a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
I'll stay on the bus
Forget about us
Put the blame on me
If I don't see a yellow ribbon 'round the ole oak tree
Now the whole damned bus is cheerin'
And I can't believe I see
A hundred yellow ribbons 'round the ole oak tree
Tie a ribbon 'round the ole oak tree····
