Listen! Listen my son Take heed! Take heed to my words As you journey to a land so far Remember the sand beneath your feet It absorbed your tears, sweat, blood in the farm land, The blessings and curses that lies between your teeth. Do not forget your motherland You will always be a stranger to the snow Remember your father's smile His blessings helped you grow. In your motherland you are a king Do not kiss buttocks for green bills Do not forget our doctrines and culture Speak your father's tongue, its no torture. Remember to return home, there is no place like it Kneel my son, receive the blessings of a king.

Motherland
Listen! Listen my son Take heed! Take heed to my words As you journey to a land so far Remember the sand beneath your feet It absorbed your tears, sweat, blood in the farm land, The blessings and curses that lies between your teeth. Do not forget your motherland You will always be a stranger to the snow Remember your father's smile His blessings helped you grow. In your motherland you are a king Do not kiss buttocks for green bills Do not forget our doctrines and culture Speak your father's tongue, its no torture. Remember to return home, there is no place like it Kneel my son, receive the blessings of a king.
