A new-born babe
Knows nothing of his name
And nothing of the reasons.
He is simply born
And starts his life,
An endless surprise,
A naked bundle in bed.
He does not know of the mark he bears.
A star or a cross
You do not find out that easily
Like a kid on hay
The new-born babe is sleeping
And then life starts its course,
Like grass falling down.
From behind its mother’s scarf
A crescent of Venus can be seen,
The planet of hope.
If things go wrong today
They may improve tomorrow.
Destiny, stop your turning!
But destiny doesn’t look left or right,
Puffing like a steam machine
Through the chain of streamers
Heading up the hill
Then, long queues
In front of the gate
To the left, to the right
Music plays loud
Jolly songs
And black angels
Illuminating our heads.
Go on, musicians, go on.
Play for our dance,
So that monstrances may move in the wind.
Only those unmarked
Will be saved
