May you have a little luck 1
May life give you what you deserve, every day,
may you not lack anything.
may hope never turn its back on you.
May you find the right path,
and let it be yours and not mine.
And if it's mine, show it to me.
May you not take heed of sycophants.
May you not trust winners, winning contests, elections and popularity.
May hoy have a little luck,
may you have a little luck.
May you not lack capacity
to tell the right here 2
from the confusing beyond,
which is a reality of its own.
May you not lose time,
for being the rich guy on the cemetery is not a good idea,
and makes for an even worse epitaph.
May you not lack that song,
that mends your heart
on the worst time that you have known.
May you have a little luck.
1. Technically, luck is not quantifiable or measurable by any means, so it's technically not correct to add the diminutive "-ita". It's done for lyricism 2. "Acá" or "aquí" (here) is the opposite of "allá" (there). "El más allá" is how you say "the beyond" or the dimension of spirits and ghosts in Spanish
