Travel, Travel

Above ancient volcanoes
Slide your wings under the carpet of the wind
Travel, travel, eternally
From clouds to swamps
From the winds of Spain to the rains in Ecuador
Travel, travel, fly in the heights
Above capitals, above fatal ideas
Look at the ocean
 
Travel, travel, farther than the night and the day
Travel, in the incredible space of love
Travel, travel, on the sacred waters of an Indian river
Travel, and never return
 
On the Ganges or on the Amazon
Among people of all races1
Travel, travel, throughout the kingdom
On the dunes of the Sahara
From the Fiji islands to Fujiyama
Travel, travel, never stop
Above barbed wire, above bombarded hearts
Look at the ocean
 
Travel, travel, farther than the night and the day
Travel, in the incredible space of love
Travel, travel, on the sacred waters of an Indian river
Travel, and never return
 
Above capitals, above fatal ideas
Look at the ocean
 
Travel, travel, farther than the night and the day
Travel, in the incredible space of love
Travel, travel, on the sacred waters of an Indian river
Travel, travel

Thanks for this. The other translations did not seem native...

"Among people of all races"? How dare you change the lyrics?

To not appear racist, because some people are so sensitive these days. I will add a footnote. Good question, BTW. Thanks!

Interpretative and figurative translations are perfectly fine and not discouraged here.
