Lyrics
My love I Hail you from a faraway place,
Expressing greetings from a distant location to a loved one.
The words that I lay down are painful to write. And now I'm done,
Writing these words is emotionally difficult.
I'll be leaving to a forsaken land... and my life will come to an end.
Preparing to depart for a desolate place, anticipating the end of life.
I've marched with my brothers for a long, long time, we carry the hope for those
Having fought alongside fellow soldiers, carrying hope for the future.
Days to come. But still I long the embrace of the one I call mine
Despite the mission, yearning for the embrace of the beloved.
That's the only thing I'll miss when I die...
Expressing that the only regret at death is missing the beloved's embrace.
So far away from this place of mine, so long overdue is a kiss to my love
Feeling distant from home, longing for a delayed kiss with the beloved.
Feeling her skin under this roof of mine, I wish I had more time
Wishing for more time to feel the beloved's presence.
I see the old days in the ripening fields, the joy to be with you and become as one
Recalling joyful memories of being together and longing for that closeness.
But now it's gone, though I'm sure we will meet again
Accepting that those joyful moments are past but hopeful for a future reunion, even in the afterlife.
In this world or the next
Believing in the possibility of meeting again, either in this world or the next.
So far away from this place of mine, so long overdue is a kiss to my love
Reiterating the yearning for a delayed kiss and closeness with the beloved.
Feeling her skin under this roof of mine, I wish I had more time
Expressing the desire for more time to feel the beloved's presence.
To be with you, I'd give it all. To grow old with you, I'd give it all
Willing to sacrifice everything to be with and grow old with the beloved.
Fate has decided otherwise, my sister of the Light
Recognizing that fate has decided differently, acknowledging the circumstance.
My love I Hail you from a faraway place.
Reiterating greetings from a distant place.
"Remember by face"
Asking the beloved to remember the sender's face.
Words that I lay down are painful to write.
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of writing these words.
"Don't fear, my love"
Reassuring the beloved not to fear and expressing constant presence.
And now I'm done I'm entering a forsaken land...
Describing the entry into the desolate place, implying acceptance of fate.
"I will always be there"
Promise of eternal presence and support for the beloved.
My life will come to an end.
Acknowledging the impending end of life.
So far away from this place of mine, so long overdue is a kiss to my love
Reiterating the longing for a delayed kiss and closeness with the beloved.
Feeling her skin under this roof of mine
Desire to feel the beloved's presence, emphasizing the longing for time.
I wish I had more time
Expressing the wish for more time to spend with the beloved.
Now as I stand on the battle field my hopes are all going to our only son
Standing on the battlefield, hoping for a better future for the sender's son.
He shall be strong and never yield, he is what the future will bring...
Believing that the son will embody strength and shape the future positively.
