He looked at his hands, later than sooner
and the cliff where his love came undone
he though of his name, the woman and the man
in the tanned skin and a sun that doesn't warm
You see? You see?
The flesh slackens sometimes
Vade retro, then a fighting rooster
He looked at his pictures, he lit a cigarrette
he fell asleep in clouds of drowned smoke
he dreamed with children, his hood, his mother
his brothers, his dog and his father
You see? You see?
We miss everything sometimes
Vade retro, then a fighting rooster
You didn't lose in one punch,
nor your luck shattered with a deadly mallet blow
I saw you losing slowly, always slowly
like the evening shadows fading slowly,
I see you like this, I saw you like this, they saw you like this
and they see you like this, losing slow, always low. God speed you.
A new day gave him the calmness
bitter mate, a joint and the game
he counted the money, payed the worker ticket
and an old traveller went to work
You see? You see?
The flesh slackens sometimes
We miss everything sometimes
but you don't see this things. You see?
Vade retro, then a fighting rooster
