-1-
I lived for years in your city
Neither the sea wet me
Nor the bird made me sad
Yellow sands spread
They were like gold
Think like waves
Stretching out their tongues
One group swallow another
And foam on their teeth
-2-
Visitors like the yoke
Faces without smiles
Carrying hooks
To catch fish
And upset the birds
On their lips are the melodies
And she cried: It's not right
The fish are my friends
And in a liar's tone
They replied... and said: Go away
We have the statements
I wrap myself in my suffering
-3-
We kill of the beauty of the universe
So that we may be satisfied
Oh hunger, stop here
Do not steal the breath
Do not erase the magic of colour
Do not slaughter the word
God has given us help
So that we may preserve the blessing
