Translation
Bilingual
Oh, the whole earth's a mural
Seen from way up high
Abstracted natural bas-relief
Witnessed from the sky
Clouds that cast a single shadow
Drifting, moving on the ground
Creating an illusion
As the world goes 'round
ย
Places where the folks inhabit
Have a geometric grace
Circle, square, sometimes triangle
Ruled with lines in space
Waterways and craggy mountains
Seemingly reveal a plan
Just as if somebody drew it
With a great big, giant hand
ย
Life's a repetition
It's an action of repeat
Act of doing, act of saying
Something bitter, something sweet
Acts of life that keep occurring
Ghosts appearing through the sound
Waving at us from the distance
'Cause the whole wide world is
Round and round and round and round
Yes, the whole wide world is round
ย
Generations generating
Brings the people here en masse
Living in a world
Of everybody second class
Forming, moving in a circle
Ghosts appearing through the sound
Waving at us from the distance
'Cause the whole wide world is
Round and round and round and round
Yes, the whole wide world is round
ย
People that live before us
Leave a memory behind
Actions done, actions written
Actions pressed upon our minds
Forming, moving in a circle
Ghosts appearing through the sound
Waving at us from the distance
'Cause the whole wide world is
Round and round and round and round
Yes, the whole wide world is round
ย
Is round and round and round and round
ย
Yes, the whole wide world is round
