THE BALLAD ABOUT THE MAN WHO SWITCHED THE MOON
THE BALLAD ABOUT THE MAN WHO SWAPPED WITH THE MOON
He hid himself
from the community's eyes
and from all pairs of eyes in general
Sometimes he passed, in order to obtain food
or in order to change socks
He feared himself, and thought to himself
that everyone fears him
he always had some weakness in him
or a need to get to its interpretation
he'd turn to a difficult answer
that it is and suddenly is not
He did not have a brother
or even a friend
actually except for the moon
He was lonely, and quite pale
just go out and immediately run away
The moon on the other hand was strict
evening after evening he showed up and appear
and everyone said: "he's simply a fad
this moon shall yet make a surprise"
And thus they lived the man and the moon
each one on his path
the moon goes out, the man runs away
the moon sings, the man screams
the connection between the man and the moon,
went and developed
And one rainy and gray day
the moon lost everything
could not appear, he needed to stop
to lie down and take aspirin
And then, an hour before (the) cancellation
of the nightly rotation of appearances
the moon asked the fleeing man
I'm in trouble, my head is feverish
I want to lie down, to spread out
perhaps you can rise instead of me?
And the man rse, he had no choice
well the moon was sick
and everyone said "not bad, not bad
he deserves it/he came, let him rise."
And thus they lived the man and the moon...
