Regret
I regret the time of cherries
When we were children and innocent
When you still took care of us.
Now I am here,
You forgot the time when you took us to the zoo
When you played with your little children,
When you thought only about our happiness.
Now I am here,
And in only one card from you,
You pretended to still take care of me,
Grandma, you can't imagine how much I am sad
To have lost you.
You left before the game was finished
You didn't catch the little kernel of cherry
That I launched
The little kernel
Is alone now on the floor
Like if every moment passed with you
Was lost and forgotten.

When you still took care of us.

You forgot the time when you took us to the zoo
When you played with your little children,

You left before the game was finished
You didn't catch the little kernel of cherry
That I launched
The little kernel
Is alone now on the floor
Like if every moment passed with you
Was lost and forgotten.
