Sin rumbo, sin metas…, Sin ejemplos que seguir, deambulan como cometas esperando su devenir.

Si como viejo aconsejas,
con sus miradas de reproche,
recriminan con quejas
no te encapriches.

Sí, le conviene al régimen,
que importan los valores.
Mientras los jóvenes vegeten
aquellos tragahombres.

Que importa la vida
sí igual como y bebo,
afirman la juventud perdida
celebra el poderoso zalbo.

Despierta juventud cohoba,
arriba juventud dormida,
gallarda juventud retoba,
prematura juventud envejecida.

Preamble

Dear English-speaking virtual friends, I apologise in advance because I am aware that a poem translated from Spanish into English loses its meaning, rhythm and metrical structure. I used the online tool DeepL Pro and gave it a personal touch according to my knowledge of the English language, but I could not construct the corresponding rhymes.

From the moment you are born, you grow old.
That's the cycle of life,
From child to youth, you grow up;
From young to old, you grow old.

Paradoxical is life,
it happens to every animal,
but humanity, stunned
is devastated by time.

Without direction, without goals...,
Without examples to follow,
they wander like comets
awaiting their fate.

If as an old man you advise,
With their reproachful looks,
they reproach with complaints
don't be infatuated.

Yes, it suits the regime,
that values matter.
As long as young people vegetate
those man-eaters.

What does life matter
I eat and drink the same
they affirm the lost youth
celebrates the mighty zalbo.

Wake up cohoba youth,
up sleeping youth,
gallant youth retoba,
premature aged youth.
