  I am born today, the sun burns its promise in my eyes;  
  F5       G5              C5      E5         A5  
  Mama strikes me and I draw a breath and cry.  
  F5          G5            C5       E5          A5  
  Above me a cloud softly tumbles through the sky;  
  G5       G5          F5  
  I am glad to be alive.  
  G5     F5  
   
  C5                 G5   F5            G5           E5  STRUM E5 SLOW   
  It is me seventh day, I taste the hunger and I cry;  
  F5               G5     C5       E5      A5  
  my brother and sister cling to Mama`s side.  
  F5                G5                  C5      E5      A5  
  She squeezes her breast, but it has nothing to provide;  
  G5               G5         F5  
  someone weeps, I fall asleep.  
   
   
  G5    F5

  It is twenty days today, Mama does not hold me anymore;  
  F5         G5            C5  E5        A5  
  I open my mouth but I am too weak to cry.  
  F5          G5            C5     E5         A5  
  Above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky;  
  G5                    G5              A5  
  why is there nothing now to do but die?
