Meaning (Summary): This country of yours is your motherland & is calling out to you. This is a bond which can never break. How can you forget the scent of your earth. You can go anywhere but you'll always come back in new paths, in every sigh to your lost heart, someone will say this land of yours is your motherland. Life is telling you, that you have achieved everything, now what's left. It looks like happiness has been showered on you but you're far from your home. Now come back oh crazy one, where at least someone will call you their own and will call out to you, that very same country this land that is yours.. This moment has hidden in it, a whole century of life, don't ask why in the road has a fork with two ways, you are the one who should choose the path. You should choose, which direction to take this very country, this land that is yours. This country of yours is your motherland & is calling out to you. This is a bond which can never break.
