Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Viaggio Di Un Poeta by DIK DIK from Italian to English.

Con in tasca due soldi e niente di più

With two coins in his pocket and nothing more

Aveva una donna che amava da anni

He had a woman he'd loved for years

Lasciò anche lei per qualcosa di più

He left her too for something more

Promise a se stesso di non ritornare

He promised himself not to go back

Al vecchio paese della sua gioventù

To the old town of his youth

Dove nessuno voleva sognare

Where nobody wanted to dream

I campi d'arare e niente di più

Fields to plow and nothing more

Cominciò così a fare il vagabondo

So he started living as a vagabond

Girando paesi e città

Roaming towns and cities

Cercando fortuna in quartieri del mondo

Chasing fortune in corners of the world

Dimenticando la sua povertà

Forgetting his poverty

Un giorno in casa di un grande poeta

One day in a great poet's house

Trovò dei ragazzi che parlavan di pace

He found some kids talking about peace

Di colpo capì che era quella la meta

Suddenly he understood that was the goal

Che aveva raggiunto per esser felice

He'd reached it to be happy

Ritornò così a fare il vagabondo

So he went back to being a vagabond

Girando paesi e città

Roaming towns and cities

Voleva portare l'amore nel mondo

He wanted to bring love to the world

Ma pensò al paese di molti anni fa

But he thought about the town from years ago

Senza un soldo in tasca tornò ancora verso casa

With not a cent in his pocket he headed home again

Aveva capito cosa conta di più

He'd figured out what matters most

Davanti alla sua porta c'era lei che lo aspettava

In front of his door she was waiting for him

Tutto come prima non chiedeva di più

Everything like before, she wanted nothing more
