A poignant song of longing, memory, and belonging. The lyrics express a deep desire to return to one’s homeland—a place marked by the loss of those who came before, yet still alive with tenderness, beauty, and love. Images of ashes drifting through the air contrast with the morning breeze, dew, and intimate kisses, creating a bittersweet portrait of home as both a place of grief and a source of profound connection. At its heart, the song is a yearning to return before any more precious moments are lost.
I want to return to my homeland,
where the ashes of my people drift through the air.
To return,
I want to return here.
To return,
and not miss
another day
of the morning breeze washing over my skin.
Not to miss
another moment
of the gentle dew of your sweet kisses.
I want to return to my homeland,
where the ashes of my people drift through the air.
To return,
I want to return here.
To return,
and not miss
another day
of the morning breeze washing over my skin.
Not to miss
another moment
of the gentle dew of your sweet kisses.
To return.
