Wonderlust kings

It is time to share with you, one very important song for the team Hejorama : Wonderlust Kings by Gogol Bordello. We love this band and the frontman Eugene Hütz is seriously awesome. Alex just saw them live last week in London and Ben is going next week in Paris. Live, they are even better. Honestly, one of the best shows ever.

But this song in particular is our favourite because it describes perfectly our travel philosophy. We knew the lyrics for a while but it really struck us when we started working on our manifesto that this song is literally our manifesto. It’s exactly our vision of traveling and our philosophy. You can consider it a preview of our coming manifesto that we will publish soon and defines the ethics and philosophy of our Wanderlust.

Back in the day yo as we learned
A man was not considered to be
Considered to be fully grown
Has he not gona beyond the hills
Has he not crossed the 7 seas
Yeah, 7 seas at least!

Now all them jokers kept around
Just like the scarecrows in hometown
Yeah, scarecrows in hometown
From screen to screen they’re travelin’
But I’m a wonderlust king

I stay on the run
Let me out
Let me be gone
In the world’s beat up road sign
I saw new history of time…
New history of time!!!

Through Siberian woods
Breaking up their neck

Chinese moving in building discoteques

Homemade sex toys and whatnot
Yeah, and why not?
Well at least it’s something different
From what they got in every other airport

Ja ne evrei, no koje-chto pohozge
sovrat ne dast ni Yura ni Seryozga!
Simple because I’m not a total gadjo
Da ja shut, ja tziratch, nu tak stozge?

I traveled the world
Looking for understanding
Of the times that we live in
Hunting and gathering first hand information
Challenging definitions of sin

I traveled the world
Looking for lovers
Of the ultimate beauty
But never settled in
I’m Wonderlust King!

And presidents
And billionaires
And generals
They’ll never know
What I have owned!
What I have owned…
I’m a wonderlust king!

The music video is really cool as well !

Our Manifesto is coming soon…
