Pilgrim

He sold everything he owned
Gathered courage and joy
Said goodbye to his family
And decided to go out into the world

He left very early on the day
That he decided to be a grown man
He knew he would return a rich man
So that he would help everyone

(When he was born) his mother cried with happiness
And sighed with hunger
Her belly was empty
And yet she had another one carrying her name

When he was born - happiness
Mother sighed with hunger
Her belly empty
And another mouth to feed

With fear and a smile on his face
He crossed the ocean
He turned over his plans in his head
In his veins coursed Gypsy blood

When he got to the border
His poor heart froze
No smile not even a hello
You must turn around immediately, Mister

Mother cried with happiness
As the neighbours laughed behind her back
He took off to go abroad
But returned without a penny

Mother cried with happiness
And sighed with hunger
Her belly was empty
And he came back to carry her name
