Alice Merton
"No roots", 2016

"I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I hope I won't forget to find them
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I build a home and wait for someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I've seen this road… A thousand times

I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground"

to dig - копать, рыть (dig holes - рыть ямы)
gypsies - цыгане (gypsy - цыган / цыганка)
to tear down (a house / building) - сносить дом / здание
to pack up - упаковывать, собирать вещи
to head for - направляться (в), держать курс (на)
roots - корни, привязка к родине (иногда - предки)
