| My countryside, you gave me everything you had
 | 
| The sweet perfume of roses and the smell of baking bread
 | 
| The black-tailed swallow on the wing and the village school so old
 | 
| Your summer days were blazing hot and your winters icy cold
 | 
| Where the church-bells still ring
 | 
| And the nightingales sing
 | 
| Where we spent our youth so long ago
 | 
| Where we played in the park
 | 
| And we kissed in the dark
 | 
| I will always stay here where I belong
 | 
| Where the church-bells still ring
 | 
| And the nightingales sing
 | 
| I will always be here even dead and gone
 | 
| How I recall, our childhood passed away
 | 
| Messin' around the backyard
 | 
| Hide and seek we used to play
 | 
| My pockets full of jellybeans
 | 
| That felt like bars of gold
 | 
| Your summer days were blazing hot
 | 
| And your winters icy cold
 | 
| Where the church-bells still ring
 | 
| And the nightingales sing
 | 
| Where we spent our youth so long ago
 | 
| Where we played in the park
 | 
| And we kissed in the dark
 | 
| I will always stay here where I belong
 | 
| Where the church-bells still ring
 | 
| And the nightingales sing
 | 
| I will always be here even dead and gone
 | 
| Where the church-bells still ring
 | 
| And the nightingales sing
 | 
| Where we spent our youth so long ago
 | 
| Where we played in the park
 | 
| Where we kissed in the dark
 | 
| I will always stay here where I belong
 | 
| Where the church-bells still ring
 | 
| And the nightingales sing
 | 
| I will always be here even dead and gone |
