POOR LONESOME TRAVELLER

Am I a spirit wandering in the dense forest

Or, am I a bird without a home

Am I an old nun at rest

Or am I a flag, fixed on a high pole

Am I the mountains overlooking the city

Or am I the ocean surrounding the world

I believe myself an orphan

Without a home to stay 

Walking from door to door

Begging some food each day

In return I play my mouth organ

So I might get some more

On the narrow path I stroll my way

Night ends and soon comes day

I meet a parish priest

Who is back from the village feast

I ask him who am I

He stares at a me with a sigh

Now I really know who I am

If anyone wishes to know who am I

I am a poor lonesome traveller

Going all round the four corners

Seekingh happiness and joy

Looking for a place, where I can settle
