Lyrics Back to the East -

Back to the East

Stepped on this hard homeward journey
Stepped on the way filling with blood
Kept our ancestor?
s long-cherished wish in mind
Remembered the hatred of expatriating
Headed to the direction the sun rose
Went back to the Ili River our homeland
The holy ambition of our ancestor
Was being with us on our way back to the East
Faced to the severe cold and pestilence
Faced to be intercepted by our enemies
The heroical Torghut
Defended the dignity with belief
