- Traveling Boy Lyrics / with translationsWake up my love beneath the midday sun
Alone once more alone
This traveling boy was only passing through
But he will always think of you
One night of love beside a strange young smile
As warm as I have known
A traveling boy and only passing through
But one who'll always think of you
Take my place out on the road again
I must do what I must do
Yes I know we were lovers
But a drifter discovers
A traveling boy and only passing through
But one who'll always think of you
Take my place out on the road again, I must do what I must do
Yes I know we were lovers but a drifter discovers
That a perfect love won't always last forever
I won't say that I'll be back again 'cause time alone will tell
So no goodbyes for one just passing through
But one who'll always think of you, no goodbyes
Alone once more alone
This traveling boy was only passing through
But he will always think of you
One night of love beside a strange young smile
As warm as I have known
A traveling boy and only passing through
But one who'll always think of you
Take my place out on the road again
I must do what I must do
Yes I know we were lovers
But a drifter discovers
But one who'll always think of you
Take my place out on the road again, I must do what I must do
Yes I know we were lovers but a drifter discovers
That a perfect love won't always last forever
I won't say that I'll be back again 'cause time alone will tell
So no goodbyes for one just passing through
But one who'll always think of you, no goodbyes

When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Art Garfunkel's 'Traveling Boy' is a ballad that gives voice to a roamer, a romantic who cherishes the memories of a past lover but at the same time, a realist who recognizes the fleeting nature of love. To some extent, the song shows the perspective of a traveler who used to fall in love and was able to experience the quick but wonderful moments of sharing and then, reflecting upon them. The lyrics, and thus the whole song, are representing love, nostalgia, heartbreak, meditation, and loneliness as the main subjects.
