The green banks where I played I'm back, on my guard The streets of my youth I cry and hug amma and my sisters I won't leave here again even if I have to fight for it It's not in mý hand to **** or to die No longer can I be an exile a polite guest conforming like a slave I'm back on my guard in my own house, and you, brother the oldest, you must be wiser no king can crown himself at best he can be a servant

Not a guest like a slave
The green banks where I played I'm back, on my guard The streets of my youth I cry and hug amma and my sisters I won't leave here again even if I have to fight for it It's not in mý hand to **** or to die No longer can I be an exile a polite guest conforming like a slave I'm back on my guard in my own house, and you, brother the oldest, you must be wiser no king can crown himself at best he can be a servant
