You bit the apple

and rejected Paradise,

condemed a serpent...

When is was you that made it that way

for milleniums and milleniums.

You remained nude

and you came across dinosaurs

under a roof and without shield.

And now you're here...

wanting to be happy...

When you're destiny meant squat to you...

Chorus:

You belonged to an ancient race

of bare feet and white dreams.

Dust to dust...you are dust

thinking iron alwys softens to heat.



You constructed an exact world

of perfect endings.

Every little thing calculated..

in its space and time...

I, being a complete chaos..

the entries and exits

the names and sizes...

don't fit in my brains

and now you're here

wanting to be happy

When you destiny meant squat to you.

(Repeat Chorus)



Greet the neighbor,

Sleep an hour,

Work everyday...

to live in Life...

Answering only that

and feeling only this

And may God spare us of bad thoughts,

fullfill our duties,

attend college.

What would the family say

if you were a failure?

Always wear shoes,

keep it down at the dinner table,

wear hosiery to evening events

and a tie to parties.

Women always marry before 30.

If not they clothe saints.

even if you didn't want it like that.

And to a quincenera...

it's best not to forget

a fine champagne...

and to waltz your best

waltz your best
