Un medico [English translation]

When I was a child I wanted to heal the cherry trees

Everytime I thought that red fruits were wounded

I was sure that health had abondoned them

Along with the snow white flowers they had lost

A dream, it was a dream which didn't last for long

So I swore I would have been a doctor

And not for a god nor even as a game

But for the cherry trees to bloom again

For the cherry trees to bloom again

And when I became a doctor for real

I didn't want to betray the child for the man

And many came to me and they were called "people"

Cherry trees ill in all seasons

And the colleagues, yes, the colleagues were happy

Seeing in my heart such a desire to love

They sent me the best of their patients

All with the same diagnosis clear on their face:

Sick with hunger and unable to pay

And then I knew, I was forced to know

That being a doctor is just a profession

That you cannot give science to people for free

If you don't want to get sick with the same illness

If you don't want society to make you feel the hunger

And the right way is to make you feel the hunger

With your children, with your wife who now despises you

So those snow white flowers were closed in a bottle

With the tag "elixir of youth"

And a judge, a human-faced magistrate

Sent me to admire the sunsets from jail

Useless to the world and to my fingers

Labeled forever as a crook and a dodger

Doctor professor crook and dodger
