The Old Man and the Young Man

I leave everything like this
I don't mind seeing age in me
I hear what is appropriate
I like the expense

I know the discomfort and she is right
When she comes to say that I do need
All the care

And if I were the first to go back
To change what I did
Who would I be now?

Ah, it doesn't matter
What wasn't, isn't
I know I will still go back
But who will I be?

I leave everything like this
I don't shy away from seeing
Vanity in me
I say what is fitting
I like the damage

I know the scandal
And they are right
When they come to say
That I don't know how to measure
Neither time nor fear

And if I am
The first to foresee
And be able to give up
What will go wrong?

Ah
Well, if it's not me
Who else will decide
What's good for me?
I dispense the prediction

Ah, if what I am
Is also what I chose to be
I accept the condition

I'll keep going like this
Fate is a friend
Of my heart
When it speaks to me
When I know how to listen
