I have a thousand miles behind me
traces washed away by rain and wind
and my horse and I are tired by this path.
Those thousand miles, those thousand miles
only have one direction and one goal
white house, that little white building.
There is a hillside and a steep slope
blue pond and beaver dam
daddy and mom who believe in children's dreams.
Those thousand miles, those thousand miles
only have one direction and one goal
one goal, that well-known old white house
I have a thousand miles behind me
there´s only a few moments ahead of me
I know this way, it never changes to our home.
Those thousand miles, those thousand miles
only have one direction and one goal
white house, that little white building.
Only a bit further and I know it, I will see the chimney smoke
The sloping gable of the roof rising to the sky.
Those thousand miles, those thousand miles
only have one direction and one goal
one goal, that well-known old white house
Those thousand miles, those thousand miles
only have one direction and one goal
white house, that little white building.
