A wanderer, a lover, my heart knows no bounds,
Intoxicated, I dance, where joy resounds.
From the world set apart,
A wanderer, a lover, my heart.

Night or day, what care I, in rapture I dwell,
Life's a game, I perceive, a story to tell.
What is sorrow or glee?
Night or day, what care I.
Though poor, an enigma, my spirit so free,
In my heart, a king.

A wanderer, a lover, my heart knows no bounds,
Intoxicated, I dance, where joy resounds.
From the world set apart,
A wanderer, a lover, my heart.

My kingdom's my mind, not flesh, nor facade,
Flowers and moon, stars like treasures I've had.
My kingdom's my mind, not flesh, nor facade,
Flowers and moon, stars like treasures I've had.
A beggar, I roam, yet answer my own call,
A wanderer, a lover, my heart knows no bounds,
Intoxicated, I dance, where joy resounds.
From the world set apart,
A wanderer, a lover, my heart.

Today is life's breath, tomorrow death's decree,
The journey's begun, dear friend, come with me.
Today is life's breath, tomorrow death's decree,
The journey's begun, dear friend, come with me.
Wander the fair, you mad one, roam free,
Kiss the flowers, you mad one, roam free.

A wanderer, a lover, my heart knows no bounds,
Intoxicated, I dance, where joy resounds.
From the world set apart,
A wanderer, a lover, my heart.
