Since life itself becomes an eternal journey,
Since we follow in its wake,
Since you’ll always remain close by,
Here is my gentle tribute,
To you who journey, just like me,
To you who, like Ulysses, seeks a peaceful shore,
Not without storms, but guided by a beacon at every turn.

Since life has a thousand faces,
Since everything here below is shared,
To you who journey, just like me,
Don’t tire yourself, take heart!
To you who are at an age where faces don’t betray years,
Fear not the fleeting winds,
For every bend reveals a new anchorage.

Life is strewn with obstacles and congestions,
Populated by gentle sages and fools who ravage.
To you who journey, just like me,
Take courage!
To you who, like Ulysses, seeks a good voyage,
Seize your chance, reject illusions,
And fully embrace each landscape.

To you, eternal traveler, may life grant you a beautiful eternal journey!
