Long Road
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan & Eddie Vedder Lyrics

And I wished for so long, cannot stay.
I have been wanting something for so long, but I cannot stay in this current state.

All the precious moments, cannot stay.
The special moments in life cannot last forever.

It's not like wings have fallen, cannot stay.
It's not as if I have lost everything, but I cannot stay in this moment.

But still something's missing, cannot say.
Even though I have not lost everything, there is still something absent and I cannot explain it.

Holding hands of daughters and sons,
I am holding the hands of my children, daughters and sons.

And their faiths are falling down.
Their belief in something is gradually decreasing.

I have wished for so long
I have been wanting something for a long time.

How I wish for you today.
I really desire to have you here with me today.

Will I walk the long road? Cannot stay
Am I going to persevere through the difficult path ahead? I cannot stay here.

There's no need to say goodbye
There is no need to bid farewell to you.

All the friends and family.
I am thinking of all my loved ones.

All the memories going round.
All the past memories keep circulating in my mind.

I have wished for so long.
I have had a yearning for so long.

How I wish for you today.
I really wish for your presence with me today.

And the wind keeps rollin'
The wind is continuously blowing.

And the sky keeps turning gray.
The sky is becoming more and more dull in color.

And the sun is set
The sun has already set, meaning goodbye may be inevitable.

The sun will rise another day.
However, even if we say goodbye, we can look forward to a new dawn.

Will I walk the long road?
Am I willing to keep going down the difficult and uncertain path ahead?

We all walk the long road
It is true for all of us that life is full of challenges and hardships, but we must keep walking forward.
