From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.

Moments we share, a fleeting embrace,
A friendship brief as a breath,
If we pause today, tomorrow we must prepare to leave.
From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.

At every step, destiny weaves, casting its silent snare,
Upon life's winding road, who knows,
Who will remain, and who will fade?
From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.

Why does the world chase after wealth, consumed by desire?
The riches of this earth remain here, they cannot follow.
From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.

Where love is weighed in gold and silver,
Tears are useless, sighs are in vain.
From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.

In the world's bazaar, even longing,
Is now a commodity, a trade.
In the world's bazaar, even longing,
Is now a commodity, a trade.
From your heart to theirs, a silver wall has risen,
A silver wall has grown so tall.
From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.

For those like us, the blessing of love,
Is not written in our fate's design.
For those like us, the blessing of love,
Is not written in our fate's design.
Those who gave us birth, are but stone, they are not gods.
From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.

Fools are they, who fret over wealth,
And cling to its fleeting embrace.
Where two hearts unite, that home,
Is heaven itself, a sacred place.
From town to town, mountain to mountain, the wanderer sings,
Clutching the one-stringed heart's tune.
