There’s a place somewhere nowhere-
The great City for no man;
Where the dwellers seem to shimmer
Like the rays of the glorious sun.
How I wish I could live there
But it is nowhere to find;
For when daylight comes to conquer,
It perishes from behind
Oh! Great City for no man
Between the shores of Pagsanghan,
Along the borders of Gandara
On the fair sands of Tandaya.
What a great place to stay,
Where the night is like the day;
Where no man can be oppressed;
For the mythics will protest.
