The rugged road leads us,
To the ancient village,
That lays far beyond,
Where father had been,
A young child orphaned,
Chasing after their flock,
Herding the sheep to greenery,
With care and fear of safety,
A young boy was he,
Older than his years in maturity,
He fled later on,
Leaving his land behind,
To return one day,
A grown man,
With children of his own,
To introduce his past,
Once lived in the ancient village.
