HOMELAND
Once upon a time there was a young boy
they told him about a country
which is the dream of every person
with banana trees in every orchard
oranges from each tap
and everyone there are brothers
all is homeland
Once upon a time there was a young boy
they told him about a country
which is the dream of every person
with the shade of a date-palm on the seashore
a country full of light and sun
a small and warm paradise
a homeland.
Night and day all he wanted to hear was
the dream land that there's no other like it
a homeland.
There was one morning
Mom and Dad took the child
to the magical country
he marched to school
learned another language
and wherever he went he heard
"go home kid"
Night and day...
