forests—love your fields of yellow grain，
I love your summer breezes，and I love your winter rain，
I love you，land of flowers；land of honey，fruit and wine，
I love you，California；you have won this heart of mine．
CHORUS
I love your old gray Missions—love your vineyards
（葡萄园）streteching far，
I love you，California，with your Golden Gate ajar，
I love your purple sunsets，love your skies of azure blue（天青蓝），
I love you，California；I just can’t help loving you．
CHORUS
I love you，Catalina—you are very dear to me，
I love you，Tamalpais，and I love Yosemite，
I love you，Land of Sunshine，half your beauties are untold
（未说过的，未透露的），
I loved you in my childhood，and I’ll love you when I’m old．
CHORUS
When the snow crowned Golden Sierras
Keep their watch o’er the valleys bloom．
It is there I would be in our land by the sea，
Ev’ry breeze bearing rich perfume，
It is here nature gives of her rarest
（最稀罕的，最珍贵的（rare的比较级）），
It is Home Sweet Home to me．
And I know when I die I shall breathe my last sigh（叹息）
For my sunny California．
