Tall taller very
tall greetings
Welcome! Welcome!
Welcome!
Home here you
are
Our soil has
been crying for you
To kiss its lips
With the soft
mouths of your shoes’ soles
Look at its
smiling lips
The way it’s
flowing gently through the air
And saying
welcome! Welcome!
From North and
South, West and East
Faraway lands
you have come from
Left a lot to
do, your books, your lovers in tears
To witness our
sister, your friend
See another dawn
of her life
Hear those cocks
gently flap their wings
Their beaks
joyously singing
Look at these
trees’ elegant branches
Those over there
even
Bowing slowly
from their waists in sheer respect
Release a
caressing voice to the ear
In bold
capitalized words saying
WELCOME, WELCOME,
WELCOME HOME!
