They say it doesn't mean a thing
Because we are just mirrors
who kindly greet in return
But still, the baker knows my name
and the postman is happy
that I'm home
for the parcels
for the neighbours
'Happy New Year'
Looking forward, we keep heart
with good tidings, even though
they say it doesn't mean a thing
that in the rest of the year
calamities will smoke again
crimes and fear, what is normal
will get out of sight
even though you witness it every day
and that we will amuse ourselves again
with the ambulant judge to reinforce
peace with the right, and that is all
it means, they say
