Where the fields stretch endlessly and the dust is hot, Where the white church stands like a candle. There the wind drives the dry grass around, And the sun sets into the river silt. There it smells of ash from yesterday's stoves, And warm bread from my mother's hands. In the evening, the garden gate creaks open, And the house answers every footstep. There my mother rocked my cradle by the window, While rain tapped against the tin roof. And softly the vihuela rumbled through the night, Until the guitarrón beneath the window fell silent. I remember those hands, the flour on the table, The old cup with a crack along the side. And how I fell asleep on my father's shoulder, While morning broke into flame behind the wall. I left so many roads behind me, Mistaking чужие lights for home. Gold warmed my hands from time to time, But the cold came through the door with it. I need no towers, I need no crowns. I hear the wind above the quiet river. Leave me the dust on the old porch, And the door that opens only to home. I saw palaces where the lights never went out, And rooms filled with the voices of strangers. But at night I dreamed of simple footsteps And the creaking floorboards around familiar hearths. I went chasing fortune, lost names, Changed cities, forgot addresses. But memory stubbornly kept me In that house where my mother waited by the window. I left so many roads behind me, Mistaking чужие lights for home. Gold warmed my hands from time to time, But the cold came through the door with it. I need no towers, I need no crowns. I hear the wind above the quiet river. Leave me the dust on the old porch, And the door that opens only to home. I thought a home was walls and a roof. That you could buy yourself a place in the warmth. But now I have returned. And I hear how My old doorstep breathes in the silence. I left so many roads behind me, Mistaking чужие lights for home. Gold warmed my hands from time to time, But the cold came through the door with it. I need no towers, I need no crowns. I hear the wind above the quiet river. Leave me the dust on the old porch, And the door that opens only to home. To the old familiar doorstep... Where the bolt will creak. Where it smells of ashes And fresh bread in the morning. I searched for so long... And found it within myself.
