Tell me Krishna where are you from?
Describe to me the country you left behind
The house that saw you as a child
You walked without ever looking back

In a small backpack you put your life
Some clothes, a photo of your smiling son
You left your country, fear in your belly, far from the guns
You had nothing in your pockets when you arrived in Paris

It's been years now that you're here
You've made your place here but your head is there
And even at the end of the world you're in Sri Lanka
You've made your place here but your head is there

Tell me where you are when you're in your thoughts
You're here
And you feel like you're uprooted, Krishna
Tell me where you are when you're in your thoughts
You're here
And I feel you like you're uprooted

Tell me Krishna where are you from?
Describe to me the country you left behind
The house that saw you as a child
You walked without ever looking back

Tell me Krishna where are you from?
You crossed the world to take shelter
From the bomb rains on your path
You walked without ever looking back

You wandered for months, you worked noon and night
In the kitchen of a French restaurant
You had no choice
No papers, no roof
You didn't know a word of French

It's been years now that you're here
You've made your place here but your head is there
And even at the end of the world you're in Sri Lanka
You've made your place here but your head is there

Tell me where you are when you're in your thoughts
You're here
And you feel like you're uprooted, Krishna
Tell me where you are when you're in your thoughts
You're here
And I feel you like you're uprooted

Tell me Krishna where are you from?
Describe to me the country you left behind
The house that saw you as a child
You walked without ever looking back

Tell me Krishna where are you from?
You crossed the world to take shelter
From the bomb rains on your path
You walked without ever looking back

It's been years now that you're here
You've made your place here but your head is there
And even at the end of the world you're in Sri Lanka
You've made your place here but your head is there

It's been years now that you're here
You've made your place here but your head is there
And even at the end of the world you're in Sri Lanka
You've made your place here but your head is there

Tell me Krishna where are you from?
Describe to me the country you left behind
The house that saw you as a child
You walked without ever looking back

Tell me Krishna where are you from?
You crossed the world to take shelter
From the bomb rains on your path
You walked without ever looking back
