Lyrics
There is a girl waiting for me somewhere
She has been writing to me
She told me that she cares,
Spending every hour on a song she wrote
Counting days ’till I’m back home
I always hear the voice of my homeland
Soothing the thrilling pain of my soul
Enlight’ning my dearest dreams
Closing my eyes late at night
So I am going home today
Leaving success and fame!
For my country is forever my beloved one
And to my dear love forever will be my hear!
— Yona C. Rasolonjatovo
