My boy

My boy, a
days will tell you that your father was the head
great ideas, but basically
then has done nothing.
Do not believe, no, do you want

a small man,
a boat without sail;
but you do not believe, that just gets up
the sea, men without ideas

first go to the bottom .

Boy,
one day your friends will tell you that
just found a great love,
and then turn their backs on the world.
Do not believe, no, do not try to dream


remote islands that do not exist;
not have to believe, but if you want
love love, you

not ask what you can not give.

Boy,
a day at school you will

to say that the history of the world was made
only a few older men.
But you do not believe, do you want

another mythomaniac
a superman deluded;
No, do not believe that the balloons too swollen


explode one day and do not remain

Boy, one day told

the world by people who are doing well
only those who spend their lives doing nothing.
No, no, do not believe, no, do not be too

acchiappanuvole
who dreams of a reach;
no, no, do not believe, no, do not envy those who

lives struggling in vain
with the world of tomorrow.

Boy,
a day reading the newspapers over
of how people live have thoughts,
happy because he can not do anything.
No, no, do not think oh, you want to make


a megalomaniac who wanted to reach;
But you do not believe that life is good

who lives struggling in vain,
those who fight against time.
