Read the Lyrics for the song Returning to the Hometown

I invite you to journey to the distant and serene countryside with me,

Where my homeland boasts lush green coconut trees,

And echoes with a thousand folk songs, brimming with the pure essence of the nation.

I invite you to visit the ancestral homeland just once,

Where I first greeted the world amidst rustic charm

Enduring years of hardships, braving the elements.

Through countless days, cherished memories and dreams are etched

So many years passed, yet never returned to the hometown

Surely, grandpa has aged, silver hair and wrinkled skin

Oh, forgot how to reminisce the tranquil memories of childhood

I adore each season, the wind whispers playfully

Lulling me into dreams, ethereal and sweet.

[CHORUS:]

This is my homeland

A river flowing gently with tranquil waters

This is the rhythm of bamboo bridges

Connecting two hamlets, morning sun and evening rain

Today, I return to nurture the guava orchard once more

Months and years, the harsh struggles of aging

Let me relive the lost childhood of long ago.

Do you find joy when the sun rises over the bamboo grove?

A cute little bird hopping from branch to branch of the plum tree

Descending in the late summer, sipping on drops of rosy sunlight

Do you feel much love as time bends the back of the elderly?

Homeland through the ages, a sweetly spoken song

I joyfully live again, like blood returning to the heart.
