I REALLY CANNOT DECIPHER THIS THIRST
THAT MEN CALL THIS WANDERLUST
WHAT PLEASURE DO PEOPLE DERIVE
IN RISKING THEIR VERY LIFE
FOR THE HILLS OF A PLACE TO THE DUNES OF ANOTHER
I REALLY CANNOT DECIPHER WHY WE EVEN NEED TO BOTHER
PEOPLE GIVE UP LIFETIMES OF HARD WORK
FOR JUST THE LOVE OF TRAVELLING
ALL THIS LIFE OF SLOGGING
ALL GONE UP IN SMOKE
FOR THESE LOVELORN TRAVELLERS
THERE IS REALLY NO HOPE
BUT WHAT WILL MY MIND UNDERSTAND
THE THRILL OF VISITING A DISTANT LAND
AFTER ALL
I REALLY CANNOT DECIPHER THIS THIRST
THAT MEN CALL THIS WANDERLUST......
