My Switzerland

Mountains of my life
                 never forgotten.
              Rivers of my veins
    flowing through my memories.
             Green Swiss valleys, 
                far from my sight, 
     but always close to my heart.
        My Alps where I was born,
          bring to me the fresh air
                 to breath again.
    I remember those summer days,
                    with my feet 
           into the shore waters 
                of the Rhine river, 
           or the long walks across
         the charming countryside.
            Oh, bohemian Basel...!
                   my birthplace.
         Oh, my lovely Switzerland...!
     you will always be my first steps, 
           my unforgettable dream, 
           a treasure in my mind...!
