Inte min son [English translation]

Someone’s always screaming in my house

I run back to my room

Set fire to my mattress

I promise nothing that comes from your mouth is dead

It feels as if we had always gone to the same class

That’s not my child

Where did he come from

How shall I know where?

That’s not my son

You turned off my electricity

And my warmth too

But you never got rid of me by that

My place that was temporary just

Became permanent instead

I thought just this one more time

Then never again

That’s not my child

Where did he come from

How shall I know where?

That’s not my son
