Alegría

I’m fed up with this life
that I just started
I’m fed up with this day and I’m fed up with this pair
of fools who wait for happiness
bringing into this world someone
who didn’t ask to come
Joy! The peace is over!
Don’t look under
my arm for bread
there’s not a crumb left
I’ve already scarfed it down
I’ll give you work before I arrive
I’ll rip out completely any sign of peace
I bring you joy and it’s over
it’s over the peace!
and besides, I’ve scarfed down the bread.
And to finish, I’d like you all to know
that this is mostly a hassle for me.
I’m off, they’re waiting for me,
if God wills it,
a hot meal and an explanation
and if they lie,
then two might fall.
Well, two might fall.
