English Lyrics:
Oh departing Traveler, where are on your toes heading?
Your journey is fast to failure
How many travelers before you
Have sought probity path with similar results?

Trade show many cities and deserts own I roamed?
How much revolt have I wasted
Touring put on the back burner one place to another?

Oh lost one, no matter in whatever way much you run away
Your destiny will end in exhaustion
Time has passed you by
And you have yet knock off notice it.
