沈阳我的故乡 VS Massachusetts (麻省我的故乡)

As the saying goes: great minds think alike. This is particularly true when it comes to homesick. You may find the following two songs are quite amusing, since both of them express the feeling of being homesick. One is 沈阳我的故乡, another one is Massachusetts (麻省我的故乡).

沈阳啊,沈阳啊我的故乡。
马路上灯火辉煌。
大街小巷人来人往,
象那鲜花盛开的村庄。
社会主义的高楼大厦,
耸立在古老的沈阳。
我想要回到那个地方,
去见上可爱的故乡。
亲人啊朋友啊慈祥爹娘,
愿你们平安健康。
生活的道路多么的漫长,
我日夜思念家乡。
有朝一日重返沈阳,
回到我久别的故乡。
我和亲人欢聚一堂,
共度美好的时光。

Massachusetts (麻省我的故乡)

Feel Im goin back to massachusetts,
Somethings telling me I must go home.
And the lights all went out in massachusetts
The day I left her standing on her own.

Tried to hitch a ride to san francisco,
Gotta do the things I wanna do.
And the lights all went out in massachusetts
They brought me back to see my way with you.

Talk about the life in massachusetts,
Speak about the people I have seen,
And the lights all went out in massachusetts
And massachusetts is one place I have seen.

I will remember massachusetts...
