A Gravata [English translation]

The tie has already tied me up

The tie has already hung me

Amen

The tie has already tied me up

The tie has already hung me

Amen

A citizen without a tie

Is the worst form of degradation

It's a foil crown

It's a curse word

It's a lady with no shame

Moral striptease

It's lack of documents of identification

It's like soup with no seasonings

There's the bow tie

Diamond shaped

There's the cowboy tie

With double strings

There's the ribbon tie

Going down the collar

Soft like intestine

Resting lazily in the stomach

It's a portable hanging device

Easy to manage

Modern, colorful

To cheer up the victim

It's a Freudian process

To self-harm

With the neck put on the line

And faith in the heart
