Old Streetlight

Old streetlight from the tough neighborhood
Bronzing the corner with a pale light
It illuminated the area after work
And it has also been a witness in the night
Under its poor light, the sad Chinese woman
Read the letter from the old man
Drenching with tears of a tough woman
The verses written with the heart

In its rays, the daggers also shone
Crossed in a duel for the same love
A dead man was bleeding and no one fought
The manliness of the winner
Its light witnessed hearing the sweet talk
Playing dirty tricks on the cool old man
The treacherous woman and the cowardly thief
Fought the cops out of fear of the knife

And when they arrested his man
The light of the streetlight cried in his eyes
Then a stone broke the glass
Descending into the fierce suburb curse
Old streetlight, I'm behind bars
Your light doesn't reach my dark cell
I eagerly await to return to the corner
Avenging myself from her and the night
