Having dwelled, all his life, 
In a fools paradise, 
Having been defeated by fate 
At thousands of challenges, 
He settled for the only option 
He felt left, saying to himself: 
 
I will go back home; 
Where the village villains 
Live in the best hovels, 
Where the village villains 
Marry the most beautiful virgins. 
 
I will go back home; 
Where the village villains 
Own the fattest cattle, 
Where the village villains 
Account for all vices. 
 
I will go back home; 
Where, despite all, 
There are green fields 
Where, notwithstanding, 
The air is less polluted. 
 
I will go now, in pieces, 
To live again in peace.
