My country
My fatherland
A land made of black shield and fertile soil
A land where two rivers meet and flourish beyond its horizons
My country
My fatherland
A land rich in minerals and salt
A land full of pain and peace
My country
My fatherland
A land with diverse myths and faiths
A land enslaved by distant civilization
My country
My fatherland
A land where everyone combated it wars separately
A land of vast quelling stories
