East

Orient yourself, young man
By the Southern Cross constellation
Orient yourself, young man
By the realization that the spider
Lives off what it weaves
Make sure you don't forget
For the simple reason that everything deserves
Consideration

Consider, young man
The possibility of going to Japan
On a Lloyd cargo ship washing the hold
Out of curiosity to see
Where the sun hides
Make sure you understand
For the simple reason that everything depends
On determination

Determine, young man
Where your postgraduate course will be
Orient yourself, young man
By the Earth's rotation around the Sun
Smiling, young man
By the continuity of Adam's dream
