Atlantide [English translation]

And the Gods drew straws

they splitted up the World for themselves

Zeus the Earth

Ade the Underworld

Poseidon the submerged continent

Atlantis appeared

Immense, islands and mountains

Channels similar to celestial orbits

its king Atlante

knew the sphere gospel

the asters, the geometry

the Kabala and the alchemy

on the top the temple

six winged horses

gold, ivory, aurichalcum statues

for generations the law dwellt

in the divine precepts

the kings, never satisfied with the immense goods

and the human attitude crept into

and the couldn't stand the happiness

nor the happiness

nor the happiness

in a day and a night

the wipeout came

it returned back to the water

Atlantis disappeared
