As the wind blows toward to my homeland
my heart melt a thousand times
From afar I could hear the waves
whispering on the river bank
...
I think I can afford to keep a secret
Or two in the womb of my verses
You need not worry about their malice
Or the strength of their allies
...
Dear brother, sister, can you see the light
Or is it only darkness you can view
A wretched ship that sails into the night
With only ghosts aboard to serve as crew
...
See what we have done to earth
Can't you hear the widows scream
See what greed have done to men
Can't you see the mutilated corpses
...
West have everything I need
Why go north and break a leg
When I can easily sow a seed
And reap a basket of nutmeg
...
