[English]

Leaves are fallin' all around

Time I was on my way

Thanks to you, I'm much obliged

For such a pleasant stay

But now it's time for me to go

The autumn moon lights my way

For now I smell the rain, and with it, pain

And it's headed my way

...

Oh, sometimes I grow so tired

But I know I've got one thing I got to do

Ramble on

And now's the time, the time is now

To sing my song

I'm goin' 'round the world, I gotta find my girl

On my way

I've been this way ten years to the day

Ramble on

Gotta find the queen of all my dreams

Got no time to for spreadin' roots

The time has come to be gone

And though our health we drank a thousand times

It's time to ramble on

...

Ramble on

And now's the time, the time is now

To sing my song

I'm goin' 'round the world, I gotta find my girl

On my way

I've been this way ten years to the day

I gotta ramble on

I gotta find the queen of all my dreams

...

I ain't tellin' no lie

...

Mine's a tale that can't be told

My freedom I hold dear

...

How years ago in days of old

When magic filled the air

'Twas in the darkest depths of Mordor

I met a girl so fair

But Gollum and the Evil One

Crept up and slipped away with her, her, her, yeah

...

And ain't nothin' I can do, no

I guess I'll keep on

Ramblin', I'm gonna

Sing my song, I've gotta find my baby

I'm gonna ramble on, sing my song

Gonna work my way all around the world

Baby, baby, ramble on, yeah

A-do-do-n-do-n-do-n-do, my baby, baby

A-ramble on, baby

A-do-do-do-do

I can't stop this feelin' in my heart

Everytime I feel I will leave, I really gotta part

Gotta keep searchin' for my baby (baby, baby, baby, baby, baby...)

I've gotta keep a-searchin' for (baby)

My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby

Yeah-yeah, a-yeah-yeah, a-yeah-yeah

My, my, my, my, my, my baby

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Ooh, my, my

I can't find my bluebird, I'd listen to my bluebird sing

But I, I can't find my bluebird

I keep a-ramblin' baby

Ah, yeah

I keep a-ramblin', baby

I keep, keep...
