The Journey

The Journey

In the distance

I see a bright shining star

Whispering promises of peace

I must beckon to its call

 

Long have I been a nomad

In this dry and barren land

In search of what can’t be found

I must beckon to its call

 

The sands of time escaping

My life evaporating before me

Has it all been in vain?

I must beckon to its call

 

In my journey I did find

So much pain and sorrow

Times of great joy and success

Overcoming every challenge

 

Perhaps it was not in vain at all

Lived the best life I could

I am ready for the final journey

Tranquility waits for me

In the distance
I see a bright shining star
Whispering promises of peace
I must beckon to its call
در فاصله‌ای دور
ستاره‌‌‌ء روشنی می‌بینم، درخشان
نجوا می‌دهد، وعده‌های صلح
باید اغوای دعوتش شوم 

Long have I been a nomad
In this dry and barren land
In search of what can’t be found
I must beckon to its call
مدتی‌ست صحرانشینم
در این سرزمین خشک و ثمر‌تُهی
در جستجوی چیزی نا‌یافتنی
باید اغوای دعوتش شوم

The sands of time escaping
My life evaporating before me
Has it all been in vain?
I must beckon to its call
شنهای زمان می‌گُریزند
پیشِ رویم زندگیم برباد می‌رود
آیا زندگیم یک‌سره بیهوده بود؟
باید اغوای دعوتش شوم

In my journey I did find
So much pain and sorrow
Times of great joy and success
Overcoming every challenge
در این سفر به یقین یافتم
بسی درد و غم
دورانی پُر ز شادی و پیروزی
اما غلبه‌‌کردم بر هر چالشی

Perhaps it was not in vain at all
Lived the best life I could
I am ready for the final journey
I will beckon to its call
Tranquility waits for me
شاید اصلاً بیهوده نبود زیستنم
زیستنِ بهترین زندگی که توانستم
برای آخرین سفر آماده‌ام
اغوای دعوتش می‌شوم 
می‌کشد آرامش انتظارم
