Stranger in a Stranger's Land 🇰🇿 [13+]
🇰🇿 "Stranger in a Stranger's Land"

Dimash Kudaibergen (of Kazakhstan) is a phenomenon. His range, control, stage presence... amazing. Been following him for years now, since his opening a competition in China with a song in French. He dared to sing in French, Italian, English and Mandarin and placed 2nd.

This performance from 2021 is sung in English! Very good English, I may add (one of Dimash's many languages; doubt he's ever found one he didn't like).

It shows off his talents.

But the lyrics... speak to me. I'm in Thailand. It's a strange land to me. The language, the culture, sharing a place with someone... all new.

New chance to know who I am ... yeah.

If I have the strength to begin again ... a real concern.

Somewhere in my heart in ancient times I wandered
Through these valleys I have climbed among these hills
Faces from a past, I'm haunted by their memories
Lives and loves I've lost I feel them in me still


... I sat in UD Town yesterday surrounded by smells, the heat, the calm ... as if I had been here many times. It was uncanny. Embraced in a way I've felt before but without the memory of when or where.



Lyrics:

New ground far as I can see
New ground underneath my feet
Stranger in a stranger's land
New chance to know who I am
If I have the strength to begin again
Somewhere in my heart in ancient times I wandered
Through these valleys I have climbed among these hills
Faces from a past, I'm haunted by their memories
Lives and loves I've lost I feel them in me still
New ground far as I can see
New ground underneath my feet
Stranger in a stranger's land
New chance to know who I am
If I have the strength to begin again
New ground far as I can see
New ground underneath my feet
Stranger in a stranger's land
New chance to know who I am
If I have the strength to begin-
New ground far as I can see
New ground underneath my feet
Stranger in a stranger's land
New chance to know who I am
If I have the strength to begin again
