Thirsty for the true essence of life.

I want to drink in the fountain of life

I’m looking for peace that’s not causing strife

I was quenched by the strong and might

My home, sweet home was eaten by termites.

To the goddess Naiad I want to implore

Quench my thirst, give me water which is pure

I don’t like seas water while I’m in the shore

Even in the ocean will allure & demure.

I don’t want to be drunk by the fundador and whiskey

To escape from reality, to feel equality

I’m a victim of our social malady

Who can consecrate me as the real remedy?

Siberian wind makes me lonely and shiver

Where is the gentle wind, the zephyr?

My soul was attacked by the tsunamis invader

I was criticized by the judgmental faultfinder.

Theres always a reckoning and a word war

My thoughts were missed like a broken jar

I don’t want to quaff veil with vinegar

Give me piece of love because I’m a beggar.

The spirit of Li Po opened my minds door

Moonshadow reflected in the water’s mirror

I was sinked in the rivers core

Waters reservoir quenches, my thirst is no more!
