Teasing oneself
Fall in, take places in the rank,
Graze… and let others graze in the field.
The deceitful well-wishers remind you:
“To Rome all the roads lead! ”
Sing to the stars with a wild passion,
Go with the stream, don’t blame others.
A stubborn man is punished… as a rule,
And those who yield are never bothered.
Fall in, take places in the rank,
Graze, and let others graze…
