the ability to speak ends when you’re on the street
where everything’s already said 
Columbia nowadays is not the city
where my father used to stroll
but where was I, the ability to speak
ends when you are in
a conversation with the great miss Birkin
or someone who said she was

that night you got to know sleaze
you learned that you are very good at it
you guessed that you found love
but it’s a pleasure to tell, you don’t know it so well

Uncle Wellington, tell me more, 
have you ever seen the sea
I was a mate on a boat for several years
so I guess I have some experience
I knew the women of the world, from east to south
the girls uncanny and tanned
Uncle Wellington, you think you know them,
but you don’t understand

a leader has to guide his tribe
build his castle in one night
to overthrow his enemies with ease
dancing in the Serenget
be turned on by things unsaid
