Lyrics and translation
Original
How many times have you heard someone say, "If I had money,
I would do things my way"?
But little they know that it's so hard to find one rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
Money can't buy back all your youth when you're old, a friend when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
When my life is over and my time has run out, my friends and my loved ones
I will leave, there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I'll leave this old world, oh yeah, oh yeah, with a satisfied mind.
One thing's for certain, when it comes my time, oh yeah, I'll leave this old world, oh, with a satisfied mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, satisfied mind.
