The Years of Valor

A little road twists and turns, narrow and long,

Stretching all the way to my distant second home.

I lived and worked there for many years,

And left behind the precious years of my youth.

The poor and lower-middle peasants treated me like family,

And kept me company through those difficult years.

I will follow this rugged little road,

And bid farewell to my unforgettable second home.
