Strange it had appeared to me

the coast of my fatherland

approaching from the sea

I came with an empty hand

my heart was full of regret

could my betrayal be forgotten

 and gone by without a trace

or would I always have to bear

my shame and my disgrace

my reasons for deserting you

you could not understand

I came back that day

to beg of you

my newfound land

to forgive me and forget

How strange it is to see again

the coast of my fatherland

approaching from the sky

I come with an empty hand

for today it's long since then

I don't worry about tomorrow

I have come home at last

I offer you my heart and soul

for love is what I feel for you

 and to touch you is my goal

to you my land I am now true

so I wish you would consent

I come back this day

to beg of you

my newfound land

to forgive me and forget

Will you have me back

my newfound land

my fatherland

can you forgive me and forget
