There you are, across the seas
Tides so high, waves so soft
The mountains so tall, my sight so faint
Hopes so strong, strength so weak
My sight par the horizon,
In faint hopes to meet
Like the river, yearning to touch,
the soft sand on the shore
Nostalgic times become my life
Memories plenty, life so little
Survival is all I have,
Until the day we meet again
The nourishment, the love
None of that is here, my love
The passion for you, the yearning I have
For that one feel, one touch of you
Your aroma so divine, your words of music
The touch of you, the warmth you share
You taught me to love,
you built the passion in me... For you
Years passed by, time stood still
Your beauty vivid in me,
My love for you is all I have
One sight of you, is all I ask
Miles away, in a world so alien
I seek, I strive, I look to a day to unite
not because you gave me all I have
because you showed me what I have
Words don't do justice
To explain the melancholy in me
For happiness is with you,
Until the day I meet you again,
Each day passes in the hope to meet
My good old love, my beloved country
Tides so high, waves so soft
The mountains so tall, my sight so faint
Hopes so strong, strength so weak
My sight par the horizon,
In faint hopes to meet
Like the river, yearning to touch,
the soft sand on the shore
Nostalgic times become my life
Memories plenty, life so little
Survival is all I have,
Until the day we meet again
The nourishment, the love
None of that is here, my love
The passion for you, the yearning I have
For that one feel, one touch of you
Your aroma so divine, your words of music
The touch of you, the warmth you share
You taught me to love,
you built the passion in me... For you
Years passed by, time stood still
Your beauty vivid in me,
My love for you is all I have
One sight of you, is all I ask
Miles away, in a world so alien
I seek, I strive, I look to a day to unite
not because you gave me all I have
because you showed me what I have
Words don't do justice
To explain the melancholy in me
For happiness is with you,
Until the day I meet you again,
Each day passes in the hope to meet
My good old love, my beloved country
