Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?

In home, in city, I searched, in jungles, in forests I sought,
In home, in city, I searched, in jungles, in forests I sought,
I asked the blossoms, in every garden I sought,
I asked the blossoms, in every garden I sought,
Shattering all those bonds,
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?

Since the day you departed, this heart is restless,
Since the day you departed, this heart is restless,
The world is strange, everything is changing,
The world is strange, everything is changing,
Without forging ties with anyone,
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?

On this path I walk, or a song I sing,
On this path I walk, or a song I sing,
My eyes reveal what I try to conceal,
My eyes reveal what I try to conceal,
Turning away from the world,
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?
Childhood, oh childhood, beloved, sweet childhood,
Little one, truly tell, where did you go, departing?
