(Long Road Back – English Translation)
Verse 1
I’ve driven roads that have no name,
Seen trains disappear in mist.
Each bridge I’ve built, each bridge I’ve burned,
But your image still stays in my grip.
Pre-Chorus
I carry your stones within my shoes,
I carry your sun upon my face.
Chorus
Long road back, but I walk it for you.
Though I am far, your light keeps me true.
Every kilometer brings me near again —
Long road back, but my heart stays with you.
Verse 2
I’ve left airports and stations behind,
Carried dreams in every case.
Each night inside another room,
Your voice still calls across the years.
Pre-Chorus
I carry your stones within my shoes,
I carry your sun upon my face.
Chorus
Long road back, but I walk it for you.
Though I am far, your light keeps me true.
Every kilometer brings me near again —
Long road back, but my heart stays with you.
Bridge
Ooooh… I see your fields beyond the horizon.
Ooooh… I feel your wind inside my lungs.
My feet search for your ground again —
I’m on my way, I’m on my way to you.
Final Chorus
Long road back, but I walk it for you.
Though I am far, your light keeps me true.
Every kilometer brings me near again —
Long road back, but my heart stays with you.
Outro
Long road back… my heart stays with you.
