Alter [English translation]

Better a man stuck between two swords

Than between a sword and a wall

Better a cripple falling down the stairs

Than a castaway dying of thirst

Montezuma lost his God, but he never lost his faith

The Dalai Lama lost the war, but he never lost his peace

The lighthouse watchman missed the wave, but he didn’t miss the tide

The crab walks backwards but always moves ahead

Ah, but those who’ve lost love

Have lost the war,

peace, God and faith

and faith.
