Crazy Luck
In the card game of life
I usually hit the nail on the head,
and by my side I hear them say
that it's because I have crazy luck.
They call luck to what I know..!
I learned by watching myself get cheated,
and now they will only beat me
when they play with Death.
In the card game of life,
to win, first I lost.
I also started playing
confident in the blindness of chance
and then I saw that everything was a lie
and the capital in the hands of the most vile...
Don't believe me... Your heart betrays you!
How much faith you have! Can't you see you're wrong?
That if you aim for cards of illusion
the cards dealt are of pain?
Don't envy me if you see me
hitting the mark, for I am Disillusionment...
And if you lose blindly like that,
it's because you have the lovely twenty years...
The tablecloth is hope
and, despite what I've learned,
if they give me back what I've lost
confidence sinks me again...
Crazy luck is to keep
an illusion while suffering so much!
