lyrics

Sherpas always go ahead
with their greatness hidden in the background.
I'm asking how exhausting it must be.
Oh well that's why climbers make their fortune.
Could you please consider how it was hard
and how it's hard
leading such an ironic life?
When they arrive on the glacier
the mountaineers are still in town.

I’m so glad I’m climbing Everest.
No traffic and I’m reaching Everest.
Oh I’m so sad I’m climbing Everest.
Oh nobody cares I’m climbing Everest.
Who cares about my Everest?

Sherpas often have no merit.
They pass unnoticed in the daylight.
I guess you know what I refer to,
I guess you felt like this many times.
At least could you please consider how it was hard
and how it's hard
leading such an ironic life?
When they arrive on the glacier
the mountaineers are still in town.
