Africa my Africa,
Como latas de cerveza vacías y colillas
Battle with Grendel
But there isn't a man on earth so proud,
Como latas de cerveza vacías y colillas
كَأَنَّمَا يَبْسِمُ عَنْ لُؤْلُؤٍ مُنَضَّدٍ أَوْ بَرَدٍ أَوْ أقَاحٍ
أَسَدٌ عَلَيَّ وَفِي الحُرُوبِ نَعَامَةٌ فَتْخَاءُ تَنْفِرُ مِنْ صَفِيرِ الصَّافِرِ
I am a sun-stained Icarus
In search of Eden.
On Monday I visited the butchers shop again.
Como latas de cerveza vacías y colillas
