My countryside, you gave me everything you had
The sweet perfume of roses and the smell of baking bread
The black-tailed swallow on the wing and the village school so old
Your summer days were blazing hot and your winters icy cold
Where the nightingale sings, seagulls fly on the wing
Where we spent our youth so long ago
Where we played in the park and we kissed in the dark
I will always stay here where I belong
Where the nightingale sings, seagulls fly on the wing
I will always be here even when I′m gone
How I recall our childhood passed away
Messing around the back yard, hide and seek we used to play
My pockets full of jelly beans that felt like bars of gold
Your summer days were blazing hot and your winters icy cold
Where the nightingale sings, seagulls fly on the wing
Where we spent our youth so long ago
Where we played in the park and we kissed in the dark
I will always stay here where I belong
Where the nightingale sings, seagulls fly on the wing
I will always be here even when I'm gone
Where the nightingale sings, seagulls fly on the wing
Where we spent our youth so long ago
Where we played in the park and we kissed in the dark
I will always stay here where I belong
Where the nightingale sings, seagulls fly on the wing
I will always be here even when I′m gone
