Hodim po poti mojega spomina,
pol stoletja korakov sem naredil po poti.
Skozi divje vode in močvirja me spremlja bolečina
in z njo radost se prepleta, toda pot ne bo zbledela.

Leta so prišla in odhajala, vendar tukaj ostanem,
na isti obrabljeni poti, po kateri vedno stopam.
Ljudje okoli mene se spreminjajo,
toda moja smer potovanja ostaja ista.

Dokler bom živ, bom še naprej hodil,
Skozi boj in zmage, smeh in solze.
Pot se lahko upogne in zasuka, vendar ne zbežim,
kajti po tej poti hodim že vrsto let.

Torej naj se svet spremeni na svoj način,
nadaljeval bom s to hojo, dan za dnem.

I walk along the paths of memory's lane,
half a century's worth of steps I've made.
Through the wild waters and the wetlands, pain
and joy intertwined, but the path won't fade.

The years have come and gone, yet here I stay,
on the same worn path that I've always tread.
People around me change in every way,
but my journey's course remains ahead.

As long as I'm alive, I'll keep on walking,
through struggles and triumphs, laughter and tears.
The path may bend and twist, but I'm not balking,
for I have walked these paths for many years.

So let the world transform in its own way,
I'll keep on walking, day by passing day.
