"The Wanderer" is a song by Irish rock band U2, and the tenth and final track from their 1993 studio album, Zooropa. It is one of the few U2 songs without Bono on lead vocals, instead featuring country singer Johnny Cash. Based on the Old Testament's Book of Ecclesiastes and its narrator "The Preacher", the song lyrically describes the narrator wandering through a post-apocalyptic world "in search of experience", sampling all facets of human culture and hoping to find meaning in life. Cash's haggard voice is juxtaposed against a synthesised bassline and mostly electronic instrumentation.

  • The Wanderer es la décima y última canción del álbum Zooropa de U2, editado en 1993. Es una de las pocas canciones de U2 en las que Bono no pone la voz en la grabación original: en este caso corre a cargo de Johnny Cash. Al final de la canción, The Edge pone la segunda voz. La letra describe la búsqueda de Dios por parte de un hombre en un mundo que se vacía de sentido. Poco tiempo después de la muerte de Johnny, en el 2003, el grupo interpretó la canción en el tributo que muchos músicos le hicieron en un programa de televisión titulado I Walk the Line: A Night for Johnny Cash. En esta versión, The Edge añade unos falsetes tras el estribillo. Este tema ha sido incluido en dos recopilatorios de Johnny Cash: The Essential Johnny Cash (Legacy/Columbia, 2003) y The Legend of Johnny Cash (American/Island, 2005). Es una de las pocas canciones de U2 sin Bono en la voz principal, en cambio con el cantante de country Johnny Cash. Basada en el Libro de Eclesiastés del Antiguo Testamento y su narrador "El Predicador", la canción describe líricamente al narrador vagando por un mundo postapocalíptico "en busca de experiencia", probando todas las facetas de la cultura humana y esperando encontrar significado a la vida.​​ La voz demacrada de Cash se yuxtapone a una línea de bajo sintetizada y principalmente a instrumentación electrónica.

  • The Wanderer è la decima e ultima traccia dell'album degli U2 Zooropa, pubblicato nel 1993. La canzone è cantata dalla leggenda della musica country Johnny Cash ed è una delle poche degli U2 a non essere cantata da Bono. Al contrario, The Edge compare nel brano come seconda voce per tutta la durata della traccia. Il testo descrive un uomo alla ricerca di Dio in un mondo postapocalittico. Nella versione contenuta nell'album, dopo qualche secondo di silenzio dal termine del brano, come traccia fantasma, si può ascoltare il suono costante di una sirena della durata di 30 secondi. Non è mai stata inserita nella scaletta di un concerto né degli U2 né di Johnny Cash. La band irlandese però, durante lo speciale I Walk the Line: A Night for Johnny Cash andato in onda sulle Tv americane dopo la morte del cantante country nel 2003, ha voluto rendergli omaggio suonandola per la prima volta dal vivo. Questa speciale versione, cantata stavolta interamente da Bono, è arricchita inoltre dal falsetto eseguito da The Edge. Una versione più lunga di The Wanderer, comprendente un verso in più e della durata di 5:16, è inclusa nella colonna sonora del film Così lontano, così vicino di Wim Wenders. La canzone è inclusa anche in due raccolte di Johnny Cash: The Essential Johnny Cash (Legacy/Columbia, 2003) e The Legend of Johnny Cash (American/Island, 2005). (it)
  • The Wanderer – piosenka rockowej grupy U2, pochodząca z albumu Zooropa, wydanego w 1993 roku. Główny wokal wykonuje legenda muzyki country, Johnny Cash. W tym utworze Bono wtórował Johnny'emu Cash'owi pod koniec utworu jako tzw. "chórek". Piosenka nigdy nie została wykonana podczas żadnego koncertu przez Johnny'ego Casha, natomiast U2 wykonało ją jedynie podczas programu telewizyjnego I Walk the Line: A Night for Johnny Cash, powstałego po śmierci Casha w 2003 roku. Wykonanie wzbogacone było o nieco dramatyczny, falsetowy wokal The Edge'a. Specjalna wersja piosenki, zawierająca dodatkowy wers, została wydana na soundtracku filmu Faraway, So Close!.Wersja ta, trwała w sumie 5:16 min. Piosenka znalazła się także na kompilacyjnym albumie Johnny'ego Casha, . (pl)

  • "So, what happened was he sang it through loads and loads of times and they tried to put together a vocal that felt in keeping with the music, but it never quite seemed to connect. Bono said to me, when I came back, "Do you want to have a go at trying to put the vocal together?" So I decided to try and do the opposite of what everyone had done, which was to make a completely cold, dispassionate-sounding Johnny Cash. Almost like he's Johnny Cash the robot. It took quite a lot of time to eliminate all feeling from it, but in a way that helped marry it to the music. So there's this somebody who's completely dispassionate and because I wasn't there during the recording, I had no emotional attachment to any of the performances. I had no idea what had gone into making them, so I could be completely removed from the whole process. And then Bono heard it and went "Perfect!" He did backing vocals and we moved a couple of things around, but what he heard was what he wanted for the song." (en)
