Though in this town for three years his remains as a stranger's face
The one who came here from the far away place
Where to the locals you will always be one from the big World out there
If you are one of those who was born elsewhere
He feels glad that the end of his work contract is near
It is due to expire in early February next year
He is looking forward to returning to his hometown from here far away
Where he hopes to live till his life's last night and day
Not yet in his mid twenties and near his life's prime
Three years away from home for him seems a long time
Nostalgia for the homeplace in the young migrant remains strong
To the town far away his loyalties belong
Here he feels a stranger though he earns a good pay
Next February he will be going back home to stay.
