Sur la route [English translation]

On the worldmap, as the crow flies (ie, travelling in a straight line)

People say that you can win big

That one has heaven in a drop of water

Everyone wants (searches for) a good life (destiny?)

Life flows as water from between our hands

Joy, pain, our roadway

Travelling through life, without a trainticket

On the road

Loneliness, badness

Makes one dream of liberty

(Makes one) promise that one will not be bored...

...when he has it good (ie, when one is happy), you see

And the happiness that goes through us

For a simple piece of bread

If you are hungry, take mine

Even if this is not America

it sure looks alike.

Sometimes I long to be a bird

So I could spit from higher up

To see the houses and the fields

and turn my back upon them more easily

We will go sell our sacks of roses

We will take the morning train

On the walls there will be written

Justice, not revenge

On the road
