José [English translation]

I calculated the north, I trusted in luck, I pretended to be strong and went.

I skirted the old ones, cons and advices, corners and flowerbeds and went

To discover the world at the bottom of the garden

I drew a map, I made a cover from a cloth, made utopian plans

With the winds and the supplies of Coca-Cola1 and Mentos2, I went

To the ends of the world at the bottom of the garden

Breaking woods, tracing the path where the bootee points

I poked myself in a cactus, I stepped on a cat's tail, I lost myself in the grass

I saw the end of the world and the bottom's gate, I strongly defended my life

I ran from an insect, I stepped on a waste, I passed near a scorpion

And this is how I saw the ends of the world

All I've left is the cunning of a plush dog while the sun disappears

And an Action Force3 that sent an S.O.S in morse code

It costed a lot to discover the end of the world

Then, a very angry roar made the whole garden tremble

Is it a cyclone, some hungry dragon or a lot worse bug?

It was my mother's voice asking for me
