Motherland

The distance is only a reminder
That my life is nothing without you
Beyond you
My existence is a shadow.

Oh, my motherland
I carry with me your fragrance
The rich earth, the young rivers, the comforting trees
Why don't I feel lost
Even when I am in the wilderness in you?

The rain and sunshine feel friendly in you
The storms and thunder like a mother's loving words
My love for you is eternal
I can bleed for you,my land, but never weep when I am in your embrace.

My motherland is where
My only heaven is
The sweetest water, the cleanest air
The greenest fields, the bluest sky
My motherland is where
Is my life alive.
