I'll come back

The day I left Bolivia

I’m leaving but I promise to come back,

I’m leaving for my mother’s land,

I’m leaving my Bolivia behind.

 

I’m leaving but I promise to come back,

Not even two full moons will go by

 

My dearest I must go,

Take care of me,

Don’t let me fall

 

I’m leaving but I promise to come back,

To the land that fed me from her breast

With her soft winds that caressed me at every wake.

 

My dearest I’m not going very far,

Remember the tracks

my footprints left on your dry land.

 

My dearest bid me farewell from your highest peak,

From that same peak you’ll welcome me back,

With the warm sun kissing my cheeks.

 

I’m leaving but I promise to come back,

I’m leaving for my mother’s land,

I’m leaving my Bolivia behind.

The poem is amazing. Home is very important to us. I travel the world and ended 10 miles from where i was born. I like the description and the yearning for the country Bolivia. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.
