Let me rest a while in the sun
Let me live with joy
If I fished too much for today
Tomorrow is another day
A winkle won't last
I don't trade your pineapples for my lemon
I don't trade your salmon for my red mullet
Put your Rolleiflex in a drawer
Take the door and get out
I don't want you in my corner
And a prickly pear and an olive
I discovered your new world with Columbus
And an olive and a prickly pear
Go to your moon and leave me in my corner
Dark is my pigmentation
And my body is bony and resistant
Blond people have compassion for me
Because I miss some tooth
And I laugh mumbling
With a date as food
With a date I invented democracy
With a date I beat you in the marathon
It's not funny at all
That you have compassion for me
