Twilight hues brushed toward the sky The rivers tune as boats drift by
Tasting the salt the sea's soft song In Tamsui's grip, where I've gone
Stay in this moment's embrace Through these streets I wander lost in thought
Passed the fisherman's nets all neatly caught Evening breeze whispers through ancient trees
Tamsui's heart, beats in every little thing Stay Stay with this warmth old market stalls
Breathe tales untold under the sun's goodbye The temple stands, witness to time In Tamsui's grace
Here souls intertwine Stay, stay and behold
Under the moon the Red Castle lies Its walls whispers of centuries never die
Where lovebirds soar and history speaks In every cobblestone and in every creek
So stay just a little bit longer By the docks a painter's scene
Gentle tides reflect lantern beams Tamsui Red Castle stands in time
Guarding memories yours and mine Stay beneath these watchful eyes
In the square, ancient square Voices carry, traditions thrive
Tales as old as the fortress stone By the Tamsui Red Castle I come alive
Where secrets kept are shared on docks With every morning a quiet light
Tamsui wakes a new day born And I'll stay in the gentle break of day
