Cowbell
(I have a feeling in my chest they call a heart)
(It's like a gaucho cowbell with a singing clapper)
When the morning is beautiful
Its voice sounds happy
And it even becomes mischievous
Like a playful colt
(But sometimes it happens that winter is rainy)
(And the little cowbell at night has a sad tone)
Sometimes like a little breeze
Similar to an illusion
It comes and pulls out a sound
And he thinks the Sun has risen
I have to scold him
To make him see reason
But as he is very cunning
He wins the argument
Oh, if only I could
Leave him in some corner
But he's inside my chest
And without him, I am not me
