V očeh opazovalca dotik nečesa mladega,
blesk nedolžnosti, še neizpeta pesem.
Ko hodiš po poteh življenja in se drgneš ob ostre veje,
življenjski izzivi lahko zbadajo, nikoli pa zares ne razočarajo.

Trnje in osat vam lahko poskušata ovirati pot,
vendar pritiskaš naprej, neomajen, pa naj bo karkoli.
Stari pogled se lahko zadržuje v preteklosti,
ampak se osredotočaš na prihodnost, na rožice, ki bodo trajale.

Kajti na epskem potovanju življenja je starost le številka,
to je notranji duh, ki nam preprečuje spanec.
Zato sprejmi mladost v svoji duši,
in naj vas vodi do vašega končnega cilja.

In the eye of the beholder

In the eye of the beholder, a touch of something young,
A glimmer of innocence, a song yet unsung.
As you walk the paths of life, brushing against the sharp branches,
Life's challenges may sting, but it never truly disenchants.

Thorns and thistles may try to impede your way,
But you press on, undeterred, come what may.
The old view may linger on the past,
But you focus on the future, on the flowers that will last.

For in the epic journey of life, age is just a number,
It's the spirit within that keeps us from slumber.
So embrace the youthfulness within your soul,
And let it guide you towards your ultimate goal.
