Through yonder hills travels my heart to my homeland,
O'er mountain, through forest, o'er river wide,
Through desert and danger, where I am called stranger,
Altavia calls to her wayward child
Through yonder hills travels my heart to my homeland,
O'er mountain, through forest, o'er river wide,
Through desert and danger, where I am called stranger,
Altavia calls to her wayward child
Land of Altavia, though I am far away,
Land of Altavia, my heart is yours,
My homeland, sweet barony, I will return to thee,
Soon I'll awaken on thy moonlight shores
Rise up with the fret knot and guide me back home again,
Take up your banner and raise it high
And though I am far away, there with you my heart will stay
Altavia comforts her wayward child
Land of Altavia, though I am far away,
Land of Altavia, my heart is yours,
My homeland, sweet barony, I will return to thee,
Soon I'll awaken on thy moonlight shores
Our leaders are mighty, our works shine with beauty,
Our warriors are brave and our people are strong,
Our firesides graced by bards, music runs in our blood,
Altavia carries the mightiest song
Land of Altavia, though I am far away,
Land of Altavia, my heart is yours,
My homeland, sweet barony, I will return to thee,
Soon I'll awaken on thy moonlight shores
Land of Altavia, I am not far away,
Land of Altavia, my heart is yours,
My homeland, sweet barony, I have returned to thee,
I have awakened on thy moonlit shores
I have awakened on thy moonlit shores
