The little man at his very departure from it

ready to destroy me in any situation

I wasn’t ready for all the time

that no one will continue to oppress me lightly

because I am a child of happiness and sadness and shame.

I knew that life would have meaning.

only if I give everything around me a lot

for the meaning of life to be as it is

that I want love and not to be sad

The meaning of everything is to be what I am.

My love will be stronger than anything.

but which hat of happiness is for me?

I don’t know the cut or even his name

but I know it makes me happy.

When I dreamed dreams like this as a boy

I knew I had only one life to live.

but my bra is gone. I’m very tired.

because I have no one to share this happiness with.

to say that the hat is what makes me happy

And now that I don’t have one, it’s getting harder for me!
