Old Man
An old man used to sit in front of his house
When I used to go to work early in the morning:
Don't you see, young one, how our little house is?
If we don't take care of it, we will lose it.
But all together
We tried to push him away,
He is starting to get upset,
He will fall soon.
With a strong push from there,
And a push from me here,
We will see how
He will fall soon.
But time goes by, we started to get tired,
I have grabbed his arms, and left the strength.
Even if he is starting to get upset, he still has a load,
Let's say together to take a breath again:
But all together we tried to push him away...
The old man is missing from next to our house,
A bad wind has taken him and carried him away.
I see some children and look around,
I want to show them the old man's song:
But all together we tried to push him away...
