Bog
I saw her coming in a false square,
It tilted, it tilted along the edge of the mud!...
Poor girl who was born in a tenement
with the brick floors, the cistern and the grapevine!
Someone threw the banana, which she accidentally stepped on,
And just like that, when I saw that he was already lying on his back,
I grabbed it!...
I was a fool
because I believed that there I invented honor,
a gil
who held up a tomato and thought it was a flower.
And I'm still agile
when I presume that I saved love,
since she was
who broke my sorrows with blows...
Come now,
I returned to the filth of living in poverty.
Wow!
If only she would remind me that I have saved her!...
(This was said by the "cusifai" while the "thing"
I was frolicking, I was frolicking, already lost in the mud,
and he drank a disastrous gin
between Kurdas and miscreants at the table in that bar...).
If someone threw the banana, he, who was a fool, pushed it
and just when he saw that he was already lying on his back,
It caught on!...
