Yira yira

When fate, which is tricky,
missing and missing
leaves you standing;
when you're lost on the road,
directionless, desperate;
when you have no faith,
nor yesterday's mate
drying in the sun;
when you wear out your shoes
looking for that coin
that will feed you...
the world's indifference
- which is deaf and mute -
you will only just feel.

You'll see that everything is a lie,
you'll see that nothing is love,
that the world doesn't care at all...
Yira!... Yira!...
Even if life breaks you,
even if pain bites you,
don't ever expect help,
a hand, or a favor.

When the batteries are dead
from all the buzzers
you've been pressing,
looking for a brotherly chest
to die embraced...
When they leave you abandoned
after struggling
just like me.
When you realize that beside you
they're trying on the clothes
you're going to leave behind...
You'll remember this fool
who one day, tired,
started barking!
