[I Still Call Australia Home] 是澳洲歌手[Peter Allen]寫的歌,曾被澳洲航空(Qantas)拿來當形象歌曲。旋律簡單,歌詞平易,卻能打動每個遊子的心,讓人聽過一次後就能朗朗上口,和 [Waltzing Matilda] 一樣,都是澳洲的「民間國歌」。

I've been to cities that never close down

From New York to Rome and old London town

But no matter how far

Or how wide I roam

I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelin'

And I love bein' free

So I keep leavin' the sun and the sea

But my heart lies waiting over the foam

I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world

Away from their families and friends

Ah, but as the world gets older and colder

It's good to know where your journey ends.

And someday we'll all be together once more

When all the ships come back to the shore

Then I realize something I've always known

I still call Australia home.

No matter how far

Or how wide I roam

I still call Australia home.

如果把歌詞裡的 Australia 換成 Taiwan,我想對許多人的催淚指數應該不下於「黃昏的故鄉」。
