lyrics
In English and Saami:
So far away from my home, sweet home
Day by day, from land to land I roam.
Though told by the wind, which way to go.
Oh how I long for my home, sweet home.
Boađe ruoktot álo go
don dovddat duski
Boađe ruoktot álo go
don dovddat váivvi
du ruoktu vuordá
du álo
du ruoktu vuordá
du álo
Fragrant blossoms, blooming far away
Do my folks see them as I did long ago?
Are they still joyful, are they young at heart?
Will I see them again as I did that day...
(sung simultaneously with 2nd English stanza)
Bearaš, ustibat, ruoktu
muittut
dat eai goassige
vajaldahte du
How far I've come from my childhood home...
There will come a time when my troubles are gone
And when I shall not be all alone.
Till then, I dream of my home, sweet home.
(sung simultaneously with 3rd English stanza)
Meahcci, čázit, albmi
eana
dat buot vurdet du
dat buot vurdet du
English translation:
So far away from my home, sweet home
Day by day, from land to land I roam.
Though told by the wind, which way to go.
Oh how I long for my home, sweet home.
Come home every time
you feel sullen
Come home every time
you feel sorrow
your home awaits
you always
your home awaits
you always
Fragrant blossoms, blooming far away
Do my folks see them as I did long ago?
Are they still joyful, are they young at heart?
Will I see them again as I did that day...
(sung simultaneously with 2nd English stanza)
Family, friends, home
memories
they will never
forget you
How far I've come from my childhood home...
There will come a time when my troubles are gone
And when I shall not be all alone.
Till then, I dream of my home, sweet home.
(sung simultaneously with 3rd English stanza)
Forest, waters, sky
earth
they're all waiting for you
they're all waiting for you
