That Far-Away Island

(Сначала эта песня написана на русском языке - "Что наша жизнь? Игра! Или мечта" - http://stihi.ru/2019/05/13/7593)

Day and night alike a voice deep inside me
tells me that I must go and try,
try and go right to the place I know –
Treasure Isle of the times gone by.
 
It would be thrilling to fare to those places,
facing excitement and strife…
Yes, I’m crazy trying to gather the traces
of those delectable dreams of my life.

You’d say this yearning is foolish enough,
though it sets certain folks on fire.
I can’t help thinking of all that stuff,
that dear rubbish I so admire.

Sure, I would gather and keep ‘em, if I could –
traces of dreams fleeing fast…
Treasure Island spells to me Island of Childhood
fading away in the Sea of the Past.
