bye bye country

bye bye love

bye bye honey

bye bye freedom

 

farewell to the

gypsy lovers

farewell to the

grass that grows

 

farewell to the people

who treated me right

farewell to the people

who treated me wrong

good riddance.

 

goodbye my people

goodbye my friends

goodbye my lover

although we met

a tragic end

 

i still remember everything

when i’m walking through

the city

i still feel like i’m 

driving on that windy

road back to where my

roots are of my

teenage years

the roots that are so

thick they can’t be cut

these roots

 

farewell to all,

farewell when i leave

 

i will remember the good and bad

and wear the pride on my sleeve.
