Green country
Where I was born
Sweet companion
Of my younger years
The town cries
Rain and tears
Dancing and dying
On my bored heart
And I dream of you, oh my friend
Green country
You are far away!
Sweet companion
Of my first grief
The time disappears,
For me nothing has changed,
Two arms embrace me
Among the grain fields,
And I dream of you, oh my friend.
In the town, all these outstretched hands
Offer me unfamiliar flowers and fruits,
And me I am going along the streets, lost
A guitar tune talks to me about you
My green country
Where I was born,
Sweet companion
Of my younger years...
The town sings,
Scattering its joy
But I do not hear;
And I dream of you, oh my friend
