Ismael [English translation]

I was born in a snowstorm

I assume that it was cold

There are no witnesses from that day

And I grew up fast

from my childhood that was all

I was born already beaten

There was nowhere to run

You did not dare to walk

You took cover, kept yourself hidden

There is nothing here that can make you understand

Let the past be forgotten

I lied, broke promises, it is an inbuilt fault

You cannot set honour that does not exist at stake

I see a future where

I could be something big

So blow a kiss and fill my quota

Then you think loud

and scream silent

And hold your breath through the monologue

that you wrote for your inner voice

You sounded exactly like Ishmael

Do you remember Ishmael

I am your Ishmael

You said I long back to 1997

I said if you want to give up it is your choice

I was born in a hospital

where people mostly came to die

Who cares about your 90s

It took 25 years of misunderstanding

It took 25 years to even come this far

I see a future where

I could be something big

So blow a kiss and fill my quota

Then you think silent

and scream loud

Memorising the whole fucking monologue

that you wrote for your inner voice

You sounded exactly like Ishmael

Do you remember Ishmael

I am your Ishmael
