Hayat Katarı [English translation]

I am a passenger on the last wagon of the train of life

A hat on my head and a yellow metal pipe in my hand

I go like crazy towards the place where train goes

Chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff

I am a passenger on the wagon of the train of life

I go with a hat on my head and a pipe in my hand

Towards the place where train goes

Chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff

Every step in life is a station

A place to stop

The train wants to stop at these stations

It wants to rest

But me

I don't know why

When I hake the pipe

I blow and blow

Düüt

And when the locomotive and wagons hear the sound

They go forward jerkily

Chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff

Where does this train go?

They say that many went and didn't come back

But I don't know why

I blow the pipe again

Düüt

And the train gains velocity again

Chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff

Hey stoker, take care of the roads

Don't waste the coals you have

Locomotive gnaws the distances dead tired

Distances are melting under the wheels

Chuff, chuff, chuff, chuff

I know the front is cliff

But you can walk baby

The rest is worse, the rest is known

The rest is worse, the rest is known
