Here is the translation a language spoken in Timor Leste, to English:
---
**First Image:**
I want to return
Return to my old place
I want to return
Return to my old place
Far across the ocean
Warming my body
And the heart of Timor
Children lost, girls and boys
Walking without saying a word
Day and night also lost
Carrying wood to the house
Tilling the land, the people bring the news
This is what they tell me
Mother asked her to believe that
True news can also appear as a miracle
Mother, I'm on the way
Return home
@@
Return to my living place
I return home
Return to my old place
@@
East Timor

**Second Image:**
I was tied up with traditional clothes
When they came
A soldier said, "bring this one"
I thought about school
From inside the car
Looking at your face, crying
More than 30 years have passed
But today I return
Return to my living place
Bringing in my heart the memory of the sea,
Leaving my burnt house
The people like me
With a good heart came to me,
Maybe I should have cried when they took me away
Mama... mama... mama...
Mother, come and get me
Don't leave me alone
Hug me to save me
I want to return
Return to my old place
I want to return
Return to my old place
Far across the ocean
Warming my body
And the heart of Timor

**Third Image:**
I was tied up with traditional clothes,
When they came
A soldier said, "bring this one"
I thought about school
From inside the car
Looking at your face, crying
More than 30 years have passed
But today I return,
Return to my living place
Bringing in my heart the memory of the sea,
Leaving my burnt house
The people like me
With a good heart came to me,
Maybe I should have cried when they took me away
Mama... mama... mama...
Mother, come and get me
Don't leave me alone
Hug me to save me
I want to return
Return to my old place
I want to return
Return to my old place

This song is reflecting on themes of displacement, longing, and returning home.
