Extend your hand

Give this heart the pleasure to beat for you

The world is very pale

And the news broadcasts know only the language of blood

And the peaks of manliness, and the immorality of politics

Extend your hand

Extinguish my crazy desire

Teach me to stop before reaching the abyss

Read to my heart the verses of your voice

To stop the temptation of my body

And regulate the rhythm of my existence

According to the wrinkles spread on the face of my experiences

And the number of times your eyes saved me from the desire of sadness

Poor is this clay called (I) ... without you

Orphan is my joy

The city's night is cowardly

The crying of the flute is painful..

Extend your hand, my master, and lift me up
