lyrics

So, my girlfriends were sending me on a long, long journey.
They hugged me and hoped I’d find my way.
The road is twisting, paths un-trodden...
I get used to it step by step, the further – the easier I go.
A heavy load to bear I carried on my shoulders and suffered.
Now I’ll throw down this weight – whatever will be will be!
I so miss lightness.
I'll get there easily and with joy, I'll stay there at home for a while.
I haven't visited for many years – everything is familiar.
With a smile I will give a wink to God and start my journey back.
Greet me, my lovely ones. I am back. I live.
