Lyrics

Verse 1
We met beneath the banyan tree,
Your smile was all the world to me.
Hand in hand through rice fields wide,
A simple love, nothing to hide.

Hook (repeat)
Oh, the country sky was all we knew,
And every star just shone for you.

Chorus
But city lights have stolen the night,
Turned our simple love into endless fight.
Dreams of gold now pull us apart,
While I still hold my farmer’s heart.
The fields grow lonely, the nights feel cold,
Our country love lost to city’s hold.

⸻

Verse 2
You wear new clothes, your voice has changed,
The streets you walk feel far, estranged.
I bring you rice, I bring you song,
But the city whispers, “I don’t belong.”

Hook (repeat)
Oh, the river knows, the buffalo sigh,
The girl I loved is passing by.

Chorus
For city lights have blinded your eyes,
You chase the towers, forget the skies.
Dreams of silver, promises tall,
But I’m still waiting through it all.
The fields remember, the moon still glows,
But where our love has gone—no one knows.

⸻

Bridge (slow, mournful)
Once we shared the same small dreams,
Life was simple as the streams.
Now the city builds its wall,
And I can’t reach your heart at all.

⸻

Final Chorus (repeat, folk ending)
City lights have stolen the night,
Turned our country love into endless fight.
Still I wait by the rice field’s side,
Hoping one day you’ll return, my bride.
The fields grow lonely, the nights turn blue,
But my country heart still waits for you.

(soft repeat)
My country heart… still waits for you.
