im waiting for Jakie's answer

Hi... thanks for the reply to my request.

What I am looking for is the literal English translation for the words of the song called Ridna Mate Moya, not the words of the song. I know sometimes putting the words exactly to English don't make sense, so what I am looking for is the basic English translation as if it were a story.

I would appreciate anyone's help. Thank you.
