Rough English translation:
A boy went running
ran away
to the other side
He is one discouraged, giving up
It is scarred where he is wounded,
and his house came crumbling down
He got in the mood when they beat the drum
For Heaven's sake!
Boys are mischievous
they are fast runners
the days are so much longer
Then he found his weapon he'd lost
and came to his senses, came back.
He barely made it!
I know he understands my hardships,
and he knows me among the crowd
I was going to go with him, but I didn't.
While he runs away on the other side,
I will run away on this side.
He can go on and run,
I will go on and sing.
