La Patera

Staring
he's stayed on the shore of a lake
that connects two continents
now it's just body and mind
his heart stayed on the boat
where there's no more room

and curses his luck
he doesn't know he's cheated death
that the boat that set sail
filled with hope
couldn't survive without a captain and without a rudder

thinking clearly
today he's gathered all they've saved
sweat from many brows
he has enough now
but he's arrived with time stuck
gone on the next one

and curses his luck...
and curses his luck...

now he understands
that the world is divided in half
that if you arrive alive they'll send you back
that if you arrive dead you're just
one more news
one more news

and curses his luck
he doesn't know he's cheated death

and curses his luck...
and curses his luck...
