Espatódea [English translation]

My color

My flower

My face

The fourth star 1

Letters, three 2

A road

I don't know if this world is a good one

But now he's gotten better

Since you were born

And asked

"Is there room for me?"

Spathodea 3

Gynoecium 4

Pollen colored

Sunshine

A white cloud

Without any freckles

I don't know if this world is a good one

But now he's gotten better

Because you came to it

And explained

Its meaning for me

I don't know if this world is sane

But the world that I was born in wasn't

My world wouldn't have a reason

If it wasn't because of Zoé 5

I don't know if this world is sane

But the world that I was born in wasn't

My world wouldn't have a reason

If it wasn't because of Zoé 5
