My Mother Tongue

I want to return to my mother
To my mother tongue
Like the clouds return to the Ocean
Like the air return to the sky 

Like the cows goes to their home
When the sun gets down
As the ants return to their anthills
As the woodpecker return to the wood.

Let me return to my mother land 
When my tongue becomes stiff
From being silent for too long 
When my soul begins to hurt 

Let me return to my mother land 
To my mother tongue
Where I feel like heaven
Oo! My mother let me return to you.
