==English Version==
After all these years of being away
Singing my way through places big and small
Through seasons of winter and spring
I sang, until feelings went numb,
And still, everything remained the same
Remembering the time when I was young
I left for the city with ideals
A young bird leaving his nest
And at night missing home
I heard you say that the hometown is a lover
You said that the hometown is our lover
But I can’t find my lover
Where are you…where are you?
Blink of an eye and I’m thirty-four
There is no end to the persistence of ideals
But when the hometown is in trouble
Together, the children gone astray all return
Where is home?
Missing your smile, thinking about good times
Oh youth is an endless thing
I’m returning with my dreams
