Nord Sud Ovest Est

But why did you go away
I got lost in the night
why didn't you tell me you were mine
I don't know
it will be the wind or it will be you
the voice that answers my whys
Come on, gallop as fast as you can
Run, go, don't stop
there's still a long way to go
Yes I know
I see a cellar that
could quench my thirst and dust
I throw some money to the bartender
Who never speaks
next to me there's a gringo, a stranger
he asks me 'Man, where are you going?'
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST
and maybe what I'm looking for isn't even there
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST
am I looking for her or maybe myself
Between desert and prairie
But why did you stop
I was tired and hungry, my friend
Yes I know
the huts, a tribe
from below the shaman looks up
'White man, come here'
Be careful, don't go there!
'I can read your future if you want'
Say no!
I smile at him, say 'OK'
he observes my actions in the pebbles
Pale face, he's deceiving you
you won't find her
you've been riding for months
tell me where you'll go
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST
and maybe what I'm looking for isn't even there
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST
am I looking for her or maybe myself
The city is celebrating and you
You finally arrived
you have a dark look, you don't look at me anymore
Yes I know
the gentleman next to you
why is he hugging you and looking at me
I stroke the gun a bit
God please don't do it!
then I turn around, look at the sky, where will I go
Goodbye, my love!
they all dance around me
under the colors of the lamps
And the wind is whispering to me
you won't stop
someone is waiting for you
you know where you'll go
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST
and maybe what I'm looking for isn't even there
NORTH SOUTH EAST WEST
am I looking for her or maybe myself
