Mica Van Gogh [English translation]

Before you call Van Gogh crazy,

just know that he's roof, you're ground floor

Before saying he was out of his mind, draw something

with paper and crayons.

Van Gogh, not just some guy,

one that at your age

was reading books by Emile Zola,

Shakespeare,

Dickens

You read DVD recorder handbooks.

Him, 300 letters, fine literature

You, 160 characters, two emojis and that's fine to you

Him, London, Paris, Antwerp

You, megastores, malls, multiplex

Him, far away yet knows everything about his brother Theo

You live together with your own brother and still know nothing about him

Him, barefoot in fields, it boosts him

You, locked up with cramps on the treadmill

Well, from a first guess my dude

You should agree that

You're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You - you're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh

Van Gogh!

At 16 he was roaming around art exhibitions

At 16 you're collecting Yu Gi Oh cards

At 20 in the Louvre salon

You, stripped pennyless in the SUV autosalon

Him, oil on canvas, painted masterpieces

You, oil on biceps, bodybuilding competitions

Him, peasants, models, prostitutes,

You, spending nights in bed with your computer

Him, he's got talent and you know it

You, it's been a while since you last had it

Him, he bet on himself

You, online poker

Him, excited about having met Gauguin

You, excited about having snorted cocaine

Him, absinthe and poetry

You, absence of poetry

He's got faith, you believe you're the Messiah

Van Gogh, with a blade he cuts off his ear

I hear you talk, I'm about to do the same

I've got a razor in my hands but I won't kill you

I'll have mercy on you because

You're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You - you're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh

Smashing everything when they score a goal

Standing in line for a smartphone

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh

Fair enough, Van Gogh used to eat paint and other crazy stuff

- probably still less toxic than your cheeseburger.

Had hallucinations which altered his sight

You get high on shrooms in Amsterdam but that doesn't make you an artist

You're obsessed with mobile phones, he with sunflowers

Hanging out with you it's like hanging out alone

Sleight of hand, wind shifts like in Go Fish

Flash news, my dude

You're not sane anymore!

You're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You - you're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You're the insane one

Not Van Gogh, not Van Gogh

Not Van Gogh

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh

You're the insane one, not Van Gogh
