Zora Smiles

A street people passing by, people like we see them

Just a flow, a group, without a face, without a voice

How a strange today, something, but what?

Disobey, disobey

A street like others and the time is suspended

A stain, an error and suddenly you understand

Incredible carlessness, strange, indecent

Zora smiles, Zora smiles, Zora smiles

Zora smiles, at the sidewalks, at the cars, at the people

passing by

To racket, to walls, to bad weather

To her bare face under the wind

To her legs which dance while walking

To everything we take for granted

She goes on and blesses every moment

Sentences on the walls, crooked looks

Sometimes a few insults, she doesn't care

She gives smiles away, she receives just as much

Zora smiles, in a cheeky way

Zora smiles, in an insolent way

Zora smiles for herself, she smiles to be there

But she smiles for those, those who are there

For those women, her sisters who no longer know how to smile

Then, heart filled with tears, life filled with tears
