Native stars in the foreign sky

Native stars in the foreign sky.
Foreign ice in the native eyes.
Guards are standing by the roadside.
This image has a bitter taste.

I look back and don’t see my ship —
Just the lead waves covered with foam.
I must take the second step into the deep —
The first I took when I left my home.

Why did I leave my home,
Why did I leave my home?

A shining star above the native lake.
I feel her warm breath and hand.
Colored petals slowly fall —
We believed it would never end.

Her breath and hand —
A paradise without end.

Native stars in the foreign sky.
Foreign ice chills my native voice.
I have lost the ancient skill to fly —
My soul is sick, it’s not my choice.

In my heart I hear a voice:
“It’s not my choice.”

I look back and don’t see my track.
The desert dust has hidden it.
I must go along a twisted crack —
So little time I have for it.

So little time I have for it.
