When I was little
I was always sad
And my father always serious
And moving his head
He said to me, my son
You're good for nothing
He said to me, my son
You're good for nothing
He said to me, my son
You're good for nothing
Then I went to school
With bread and with goodbyes
The sadness by my side
And the teacher screaming
This child is good for nothing
He's good for nothing
This child is good for nothing
He's good for nothing
Then came the war
I saw death
And when it ended
And everyone forgot about it
I always continued hearing
You're good for nothing
From sadness to sadness
I fell over the steps of life
And one day
The young woman I love
Said to me and she was happy
You're good for nothing
She said to me and she was happy
You're good for nothing
Now I live with her
I am clean and well combed
And we have a little girl
Who I sometimes tell
Also with joy
You're good for nothing
My daughter, you're good for nothing
You're good for nothing
