No Time for Wandering

Time runs by so fast within me,
I don’t remember the time I was in kindergarten
Time runs by so fast within me,
I don’t remember anything any more.

Time runs by so fast within me,
I don’t remember the time I was in kindergarten
Time runs by so fast within me,
I don’t remember anything any more.

I want sweet, it comes out sour.
I want to find the past.

I want sweet, it comes out sour.
I want to find the past.

I want to find my roots
Among my dark-faced ancestors
A place in which only dreams
Preserved me for two thousand years.

A place in which I was a girl
Of stories and legend.

A place in which I was a girl
Of stories and legend.

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come
Come, come, come

If there’s sadness then only laughter,
Like childhood, does only good,
I want what’s distant to be close to me,
very close.

Every day comes like now,
Every day goes on its way and doesn’t return.

Every day comes like now,
Every day goes on its way and doesn’t return.

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come
Come, come, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander, come
No time to live, come

There’s no time to wander
No time to live

There’s no time to wander
No time to live

There’s no time to wander
No time to live

There’s no time to wander
No time to live

There’s no time to wander
No time to live
There’s no time to wander
