A moon, which was floating by
Between a cloud and a cypress tree,
Dropped a tear in the peaceful sea.
When the child that looked upon her
While dreaming that she was a little lamp,
Heard the pale murmur
Of a lament:
'Poverty... Never...
Poverty... Never...
Never!
Never!'
In my celestial journeys
Its blueness has obsessed me,
And I master the shadows for his eyes.
May the light not ridicule them
With their own desperation
Marking the edges of cold, of hunger...
'Poverty...
Poverty...
Shame!
Shame!
Poverty...'
I will be an accomplice to anguish,
The confidante of nocturnal hopes
And comfort for his rancours within the stillness.
I will be an impulse for the revolt,
I shall be the shelter for his suspicions
And the mirror of his spite in the Universe...
'Poverty... Never...
Poverty... Never...
Never!
Never!'
And the moon, which was floating by
In between the centuries and your eyes,
Dropped a tear for...
'Poverty...
Poverty...
Shame!
Shame!
Poverty...'
Never...
Never...
Never...!
