Carro [English translation]

[*please read the "Author's comment" below first*]

I’ve been told that women

Oxen and motors are joy and pain

And not to put women and motors

In front of the cart, in front of the oxen

But I did it, and the flying woman

- Constant danger - broke my cart

And if she breaks something, she takes a shit 1

And the pieces are hers and her country’s oxen’s

The flying woman takes a shit with her oxen

Damn the flying woman

And the constant danger!

And now that I haven’t got my cart anymore

What am I supposed to put in front of my oxen?

What should I do with the motors

And with women

If there’s no cart anymore?

I’ll give fuel to the motors

But what about the women?

There’s lack of carts

And women are feeling this lack

Damn the lack of carts

And the abundance of constant danger!

– Wisdom from proverbs

But joy from the cart –

The “I want” grass doesn’t grow

Even in the neighbor’s lawn

I want the king’s grass, give it to me!

The king is near

The neighbor’s garden

Is becoming greener and greener

The neighbor is green too

Help him

Now there's a company

And its spokesperson remembers me to give

One blow to the hoop and one to the full barrel

And one to the drunken wife, but

Between talking and taking action there’s an “and”

And one metallic washer doesn’t mean it’s spring 2

So he gives me a new cart

Equipped with a rocket launcher

To constantly bomb

The flying woman

I fire my rockets into the universe

And I’m about to hit the flying woman

She tries to dodge

Flying into a cloud, but that’s a tragic mistake

That wasn’t a normal cloud

But a Cloud called Strife 3

She’s flown into Cloud Strife’s ass

Dying from it

God creates us and then kills us, I’ve got it 4

That’s life

The hasty cat made the kittens

In the king’s lawn

The king is blind, so whatever

The kittens run around the lawn

The king says: “I hear the sound of kittens

Running around my lawn”

Meanwhile, the neighbor, looking out of his window

Says: “Give me my cats back, you thief!”
