Trust in the Eyeglass, Not in the Eye
(For Spanish translation click here)
Trust in the eyeglass, not in the eye,
in the stairway, never in the step;
in the wing, not in the bird
and in only you, only you, only you.
Trust in the evil, not in the vicious,
in the glass, never in the liquor;
in the corpse, not in the man
and in only you, only you, only you.
Trust in many, but no longer in one,
in the river bed, never in the current;
in the stockings, not in the legs
and in only you, only you, only you.
Trust in the window, not in the door,
in the mother, not in the nine months;
in the destiny, not in the gilded dice
and in only you, only you, only you.
