" If I could take a bite of the whole earth"

If I could take a bite of the whole earth
And get a taste of it,
I'd be happier for a moment ...
But I don't always want to be happy.
One must be unhappy now and then
Just to be able to be natural...


Not every day is fair,
And when there's a drought, you look for rain.
That's why I take the happy with the sad
Naturally, like someone not surprised
There are mountains and plains,
Rocks and grass...




One must be natural and easy,
Take the happy with the sad,
Feel as one who looks,
Think as one who walks,
And, when it's time to lie down, remember those days
And the sunset is beautiful, and beautiful too the
enduring night...
That's how it is, and so be it...
