Those who came into this world
       should go again.
Here they’re only guests,
       and they should go home someday.

Besides, before we left we promised
       to return and visit an old friend.
How long will we linger here?
       The time we've spent should be enough.

We’ll arrive back home
       at just the right time for a visit.
When a traveler is sure of their destination,
       their heart should beat faster.

How can their heart not beat faster
       on the road to their homeland?
For people in love with life,
       this is the road they should travel on.

Why should a soul be planted here
       if it's not worthy of wisdom?
Why would the heart feel homesick 
       if the tongue could explain it all?

I wonder what it's like back home…
If you could truly remember it,
       love would burst out of your head
       and set your heart to howling.

Yunus, tell us all about it now
       if you want to.
You're going home to marry your beloved,
       of course your heart is pounding.
