You of Handsome Length*
You of handsome length1, halt so I could tell you!
You're going to foreign lands & your land is better for you
I'm afraid, you handsome, would go & set foot,
live with others & forget me.
2 You of handsome-y length, where in the west you're going, where!
Tell me to whom did we write this melody!
And the one abroad how wouldn't he return longing,
Hearing from us "the ones who crossed the border"!
3 You of handsome length, come quickly
The one they said she loved you, bled (was devastated) waiting for you on the pavement
They say your role/position, sister, among us is light.
Those who don't know the history of our lands.
4 You of handsome length & of a smiley tooth
Raised in the pampering of your mother & father
You of handsome length, the day they took you out of country,
My hair went grey & my back drooped/sagged
You of handsome length
Come and look what you'll lose
Get it back again
Wanna stay far, you
Wanna stay the same way
Don't worry about it
Yeah don't worry about it
Come on, worry about it
5 You of handsome length, you dear to me oh
By God you reminded me of myself oh,
6 Every time when disease progress in me
They say, "Oh lucky you!"
You of handsome length
- 1. The expression could mean "of handsome length" as being a nice guy.. & also "of generous hand" as being of a fine family, generous to guests & neighbours & so on.
It's most probable & easiest to be just of handsome length. - 2. Here the ones who lived out of country & came back, try to tell him what could happen then.
- 3. He might lose the girl he loved & she could be devastated waiting for him.
- 4. His parents who took best care of him would get heart-broken & weary, for his being away all the time & their not knowing when he'll be back.
- 5. A relative or a neighbour who's been away & back thinks it causes a disease to abandon your country instead of making it stronger .
- 6. Here seems he's speaking from the perspective of the homeland.
