Don’t ask me where I come from

My hometown is far away

Why wander?

Wandering far away --- wandering

For the birds flying in the sky

For the clear streams in the mountains

For the broad grasslands

Wandering far away - wandering

And---and

For the olive tree in my dream

Don’t ask me where I come from

My hometown In the distance

Why wander?

Why wander in the distance

For the dream

Olive tree

Don’t ask Where do I come from?

My hometown is far away

Why do I wander?

Wandering far away --- wandering
