Ultima Thule: Fatherland

Took my first steps, and father held my hand,
Took my first steps, on my way to be a man.
Throughout this soil, with my first pair of shoes,
Throughout this soil, that I never want to loose.

My life is here, and here I wish to die,
It’s the place, my fatherland.
My life is here, and here I wish to die,
It’s the place, my fatherland.

Saw the face of an old dying man,
Learned to listen, to love my fatherland.
Life’s a rumble, in sunshine, or in rain,
Whatever frozen, spring gives life again.

My life is here, and here I wish to die,
It’s the place, my fatherland.
My life is here, and here I wish to die,
It’s the place, my fatherland.

Flight of eagles, my freedom is to see,
Things I love, I want to render scenes.
Lakes that glitter, shores of peaceful sea,
It’s the legacy by fathers brought to me.

My life is here…
