I accuse my father
My errors, my pains
My shame
My regrets, but why

You mock/make fun of yourself
You depose everything
You wipe off all the returns

My memory, my history without regard
My past that you bury

Tomorrow
You ask why I haven’t seen the traps
Carried away in the hateful carousel

In rancor, in terror
Misfortune
The bitter love in the heart

The dark nights
The disappointments of glory
The transient pleasure

I’ve preached in the desert
How could I be silent

Turn the world like the humans
Making again the mistakes
Of our fathers
We always bite into the same apple
And the snake dances
While we are involved in lies
Because of the mistakes of yesterday

To grow up, to carry you and go away
From the hundred year tour

In my shadows the ruins
Of the dark days
You find the light
These are my journeys, which flash you
How could I be silent

Turn the world like the humans
Making again the mistakes
Of our fathers
