The wind flies to the east, the wind flies to the west
Snow and rain fly
This tired heart now rests, blessed is it
Then I woke up and slowly walked again
Slowly walking.
The wind flies to the east, the wind flies to the west
Blessings and misfortunes come here
The cautious are luckier than all
Why waste your life being sad?
Sad waste of life
The wind flies to the east, the wind flies to the west
Look at the fruit to know the tree
No matter who says it's difficult for good people to live here
The devil in deceit is so funny, so funny
The devil's deception is so funny.
The wind flies to the east, the wind flies to the west
Cry or what to talk about?
My journey is long without stopping,
Just pick up your bag and walk away
Just pick up your bag and walk.
The wind blows forever,
Has the world changed as we hope?
The world wanders according to available wisdom
We keep wandering in our own way, our own way.
Let's just wander along our own path.
Original English version:
The wind blows east, the wind blows west,
And the frost falls and the rain:
A weary heart went thankful to rest,
And must rise to toil again, 'gain,
And must rise to toil again.
The wind blows east, the wind blows west,
And there comes good luck and bad;
The thriftiest man is the brightest;
'Tis a thriftless thing to be sad, sad,
'Tis a thriftless thing to be sad.
The wind blows east, the wind blows west;
Ye shall know a tree by its fruit:
This world, they say, is worst to the best;—
But a dastard has evil to boot, boot,
But a dastard has evil to boot.
The wind blows east, the wind blows west;
What skills is it to mourn or to talk?
A journey I have, and far ere I rest;
I must bundle my wallets and walk, walk,
I have to bundle my wallets and walk.
The wind does blow as it lists always;
Canst thou change this world to thy mind?
The world will wander its own wise way;
I will also wander mine, mine,
I will also wander mine.
