One day I yearned for a journey 
Without a family, 
That was an easy matter 
For I left the house so soon. 

I went through night and day, 
Then I stopped by my friend's place. 
He had a wonderful family, 
He had peace which I envy much. 

A cup of tea to accompany me, he said. 
The tea suited me that day 
I guessed so, tell you something, lad, 
'Cause the bitterly, extremely sweet liquid 
Kissed my lips and hit my head. 

My eyes had gone clearer. 
Was that a safety filler? 
For my eyes? For my head? 
Whatever, I thank him so. 

One day I yearned for a family, 
And I got myself a touching journey. 
A lie that I should bury deep, 
Now you have known.
