THE WAY OF MY DAD ----------------- He was a bit of poet and a bit of vagrant He had never known neither fatherland, nor the owner He came from anywhere, went to the four winds But inside his carriage we were ten children And in the evening, around a campfire We dreamed of a white house while singing REFRAIN:That it is long, that it is far, your way, dad ------- It is really tiring of going where you go That it is long, that it is far, your way, dad You should stop at this corner But it did not listen to us and on a small day Our family took again its course for the long voyage It was hardly any time for our mother to wash her shirt And here you are - we left again for a new Promised Land And in the evening, around a campfire She dreamed of a white house while singing REFRAIN. And again jolting through the seasons Again looking over the horizon Not even realizing that, our father sowed us Over the four corners of the world like grains of corn And at some place at the end of the universe The old carriage of my father is still rolling REFRAIN.
