Ndipo kumwamba kunatsika pansi
 ndi zomwe adaziwona
 aliyense akhoza kukumana nazo
 asilikali kulikonse
 makanda a nthochi pamphambano zilizonse
 magetsi ofiira
 kukonza mawonekedwe
 ndipo muli nacho
 popanda chilakolako kapena kuwala.
  
 Chomwe chinatsala chinali kulanda a Champs Elysées
 kugubuduza pakati pa Charybdis ndi Scylla
 kung'ung'udza motsutsana ndi chikasu chonyezimira.
  
 Pomaliza mudzapereka
 kuseka momvetsa chisoni kwa mafumu oundana
 kuti mphepo yamakasino itenge kubetcha.
  
 kukhetsa magazi moyo wanu wonse
 pakati pa nyumba, galimoto ndi gudumu
 kotero kuti nsaru iyera.
  
 ponda dziko lapansi
 mpaka kukhala kotheka
 womangidwa ngati ku Burgos.
  
 Osakumana
 akhoza kukuphikirani
 ndi kugwira ziphuphu zambiri.
  
 Chifukwa chiyani anachotsa Adamu ndi Hava
 kufooketsa chikondi chawo
 kuti apange malo a grotesque gargoyles ?
