Magossa
People, good evening … Can you help me do something? Help me, do something. I can’t do it by myself … A great man left on an adventure Without telling his fathers Without telling his mothers Without telling his brothers and sisters Without telling his wife Without telling his children Without telling his neighbors. It was a waste of time. [repeat verse] His wife suffered from his absence. She did some bad business. She took some bad loans. She couldn’t feed herself. She stole. That was shameful. [repeat verse] People, good evening! A young man left on an adventure. Ah! He didn’t see his fathers, eh! He didn’t see his mothers, eh! Ah! This thing became shameful This thing became a waste of time …
