"AMERICAN LAND" (Lyrics in English translation)

I would fly to the edge of the world,
Like that wind, that flies over the fields, hey,
To the American land
But how I do pity you my home
I'm sorry for you, my thatched house.

Oh, we have the greatest grief
Here we cannot earn our bread, hey,
I must travel far away.
But I pity you, my highlands
I'm sorry for you, my green ones...

I'm sorry for you, my grey buffaloes,
I've been caring about you for a long time,
Oh, I'm so sorry for you!
For otherwise I would have gone
to the American land.

Oh, I'm sorry for you, my motherland,
Where my father and my mother live,
Oh, I'm so sorry for you!
Whatever the grief we have I won't go
to the American land.
