Frank Turner - Journey of the Magi Lyrics & Traduction

Moses was old, a chill in his bones
Falling apart, he knew in his heart that his time had come
As he lay in his tent in the hot desert sands
He smiled at how he would never see his promised land
He sang, "I could have lived and died an Egyptian prince
I could have played safe
But in the end the journey's brought joys that outweigh the pain"

Now, Odysseus sat tired and alone
He'd always held out against all the doubts that he would come home
But now he was here, his soul felt estranged
His wife and his dog, his son and his Gods, everything changed
He sang "I could have stayed and ruled as an Ithican prince
I could've played safe
But in the end the journey's brought joys that outweigh the pain"

Balthazar rode for seven long years
Eastwards and far, he followed his star, and it brought him here
To a stable in ruins in some backwater town
To a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown
He sang "I could have lived with my Gods as a Persian prince
I could've played safe
But in the end the journey's brought joys that outweigh the pain"

Paupers and kings, princes and thieves
Singers of songs, righters of wrongs, be what you believe
So saddle your horse and shoulder your load
Burst at the seams, be what you dream, and then take to the road
