The longest way

Life begins with the first breath of air,
Breathing in and out round-the-clock.
In this world we came from nowhere.
From the cradle we start our walk
 
REFRAIN
This is the longest way.
At times its bright or gray,
And up and down, through harmony and strife.
This is the longest way.
We  made another day, 
The path is long, as long as our life.

We are shining in the bliss of morning.
We are rising with the ray of sun.
We don't want to listen to a warning,
We are full of dreams and want to run
 
REFRAIN
This is the longest way.
At times its bright or gray,
And up and down, through harmony and strife.
This is the longest way.
We  made another day, 
The path is long, as long as our life.

Noon gives joy despite the rainy weather,
Clouds cannot hide the mighty sun,
We are walking hand in hand together
And our life is always  full of fun.

REFRAIN
This is the longest way.
At times its bright or gray,
And up and down, through harmony and strife.
This is the longest way.
We  made another day, 
The path is long, as long as our life.

Times are hard but we still say Good evening.
Sunset plays a melancholy song,
Even old and tired, we are singing,
As with our canes we drag  along.

REFRAIN
This is the longest way.
At times its bright or gray,
And up and down, through harmony and strife.
This is the longest way.
We  made another day, 
The path is long, as long as our life.

Please, night, do not rush to give us silence.
Please, night, do not cause us any pain.
And the final journey is not final.
We'll be back and we will walk again
 
REFRAIN
This is the longest way.
At times its bright or gray,
And up and down, through harmony and strife.
This is the longest way.
We  made another day, 
The path is long, as long as our life.
