Poor traveler

Poor traveler from distant lands

Thought that land had a reciprocal feeling

But love was more than just holding hands

He realized that its heart wasn't beating

Bags made, passport ready

Boy afraid, hands are sweaty

All set for the expected trip

Borders closed and he is on the ship

Damn state, he could do it this time

Miserable bait, who decided that is a crime?

Desperate passengers jumping in the cold sea

The traveler swam because he wanted to be free

She did not want anyone in her country

just go on vacation and go away

He said, "I just want her to love me"

Already dead, He will not stay.
