feeling the gap is not sheltering the path
for in the floor, slippery is what it call, with no
exemption, everybody has to be ready

what does a man profit, when he earned is
not in his pocket, all he eats is only for his
bucket, where in the stomach i know, it will
just go

have pity in my strength, my worn out body is
all ready, only my toe wants to be busy, if you
give anything that is for free

why you always insist to receive, when the net
i give is for everybody, to feed the whole family
lies on me, then let be me

good to share with them your net, in the deep
blue water we will meet, let your day be with
everybody in the sea, where fish swims night
and day

in my country, fish is always in the table, net is
in the sea shore, where no fishers ever call, that's
what makes us poor, where the government is
the door, and every family knocks in the floor

now our vision is something to find, for other it
will be find, our people, looks up the sky, for
another night will fall, with hungry mind and soul
are weak in the alms always it take

the church made a steps, teach them not to call
for only beggars may ask, in my country i am gone
and in my face iam one... then teach me how to fish
iam ready
