Cartomante [English translation]

Nowdays it's better to protect yourself

Turn the other cheek to anyone else

Nowaday be calm

Come what might, think about your children

Don't be in bars, forget your friends

Don't stop in parks, don't be unsafe

Don't talk abou the fear we fell about life

Don't poke our wounds... oh...

Nowadays, don't give a reason to them

Because, in fact, I want you alive

Have patience, God is with you

God is with us everytime we need Him

It's already written, it's alrealy forseen

By all the clairvoyants, by the future tellers

It's all on the cards, upon every star

On Cowrie-shell divination and on prophecies... Oh...

King of Spades has fallen

King of Diamond has fallen

King of Club has fallen

Has fallen, nothing remains

The king's fallen

The king's fallen

The king's fallen

Has fallen, nothing remains
