Sit still and let’s wait for the harvest
when the farms will be green and full
with great mazes for us to run around
and live like the children our hearts are
Stay calm and let’s watch for the rains
when the grounds will be soaked wet
and the puddles will be water full
then we can put on boots and jump in
Look, watch, listen, feel with your eyes
the waves of the hills that make this place
the memories of hundreds of years of love
for a place that holds nothing but identity for us
It is the sounds from the rivers that keep us
talking to us in our ancestral languages
keeping us grounded with its constant flow
and letting us live by its waters every day
And the birds, in lovely humming tunes
reminding us of our lively hearts
and keeping us working hard in the farms
and never wanting to leave each other’s side
Here, hold my hands and don’t be afraid
the forests is where our spirits live
it is the place we get to be us for once
and create generations to tell our stories
We are just village lovers living this life
believing in our souls and nature around us
reminding ourselves of the realness of love
and its relevance to our existence on earth
