Dia terbangun mendengar suara burung di pagi hari
Felt charged with a new lease of life
Merasa dituntut dengan sewa baru kehidupan
Time to break out of his present surroundings
Waktunya untuk keluar dari lingkungannya saat ini
A mother, a child and a wife
Seorang ibu, anak dan istri
He'd not said good-bye to his last thread of childhood
Dia tidak mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada benang tirinya yang terakhir
It lay just beyond his front gate
Benda itu terbentang tepat di depan gerbang depan rumahnya
So he packed just a few things
Jadi dia mengemasi beberapa barang saja
And he packed in his job
Dan dia mengemasi pekerjaannya
And he prayed he'd not left it too late
Dan dia berdoa agar dia tidak terlambat
He turned and he said
Dia berbalik dan dia berkata
“Well we always have time,
“Baiklah kita selalu punya waktu,
Time on our side
Waktu di pihak kita
And there's time for this boy to turn back”
Dan ada saatnya anak ini kembali “
Joy held his heart
Joy menahan hatinya
As he took to the road
Saat dia turun ke jalan
Cast all his sorrow
Buang semua kesedihannya
To the breeze
Untuk angin sepoi-sepoi
Knew in his heart
Tahu di dalam hatinya
It was the right thing to do
Itu adalah hal yang benar untuk dilakukan
For he had to search out
Karena ia harus mencari
His belief
Keyakinannya
Spring came and fall went
Musim semi datang dan jatuh
The year ran away
Tahun berlalu
Love, hate and heartache ran too
Cinta, benci dan sakit hati berlari juga
Felt himself drift
Merasa dirinya melayang
Into memories of home
Ke dalam kenangan akan rumah
And the loneliness he lived on through
Dan kesepian yang dia jalani
He turned and he said
Dia berbalik dan dia berkata
“Well we always have time,
“Baiklah kita selalu punya waktu,
Time on our side
Waktu di pihak kita
And there's time for this boy to turn back”
Dan ada saatnya anak ini kembali “
And he'd learnt about life
Dan dia telah belajar tentang kehidupan
But he'd lost out on love
Tapi dia kehilangan cinta
He was no longer only a boy
Dia bukan lagi laki-laki
There were lines on his face
Ada garis di wajahnya
From the sun and the wind
Dari matahari dan angin
But no lines there through
Tapi tidak ada jalur di sana
Laughter or joy
Tertawa atau gembira
Shoes full of holes
Sepatu penuh lubang
But with fire in his soul
Tapi dengan api di jiwanya
He walked down the dirt beaten track
Dia berjalan menyusuri jalan setapak yang dipukuli
Mother was gone
Ibu sudah pergi
But his wife and child were living on
Tapi istri dan anaknya tinggal
And they cried
Dan mereka menangis
“It's the boy who came back”
“Anak laki-laki yang kembali”
Goodbye through the evening
Selamat malam sampai petang
Goodbye through the night
Selamat malam sepanjang malam
Goodbye through the dreams
Selamat tinggal melalui mimpi
Through the sleep
Melalui tidur
Goodbye to our yesterdays
Selamat tinggal sampai kemarin
Hello tomorrow
Halo besok
It seems we were destined to meet
Sepertinya kita ditakdirkan untuk bertemu
He turned and he said
Dia berbalik dan dia berkata
“Well we always have time,
“Baiklah kita selalu punya waktu,
Time on our side
Waktu di pihak kita
And there's time for this boy to turn back”
Dan ada saatnya anak ini kembali “
