Old Flame

I was born in a small village, with no distinction or privilege! I loved every inch of that land And carved the roads on my hand! I kissed each olive tree on the trunk Some thought I'd been really drunk. It's always been my old flame, And I still adore it the same. It's always been in my heart It nurtured my taste and art.
