No, don't touch me,
Why do you want to destroy
My beauty that lived
Eternally engraved in the centuries?


No, don't hurt me,
Why do you want to censure
The mind of the artist
Just to have fun?
You don't fight any war!

May the Statue live for ever
May Art live for ever
Away from destruction
Destruction, so common in our time.

No, don't mock me,
Why do you want to erase
The wisdom of the man
Creator of art as ideology?

No, don't swop me,
Why do you want to change
The ground under my feet?
I belong to this soil
Since the day of my birth!

May the Statue...
