Humanidad te amo
Humanidad
te amo
porque
preferirías embarrar las botas del
éxito antes
que preguntar de quién es el alma que cuelga de la
cadena del
reloj lo cual sería vergonzoso para ambas
partes y
porque
aplaudís
resueltamente todas
las
canciones que contengan las palabras país casa y
madre
cuando las cantan en el viejo teatro
Humanidad
te amo porque
cuando
andás pobre empeñás
tu
inteligencia para comprarte un trago y cuando
te echan tu
orgullo impide
que te
acerques a las casas de empeño y
porque estás
continuamente haciendo
cosas
molestas pero más
que nada en
tu propia casa
Humanidad
te amo porque
estás
perpetuamente poniendo el secreto de
la vida en
tus pantalones y te olvidás
que está
ahí y te sentás
en él
y porque
estás
siempre
haciendo poemas en el regazo
de la
muerte Humanidad
te odio
Versión de
Tom Maver

Humanity I love you
Humanity i
love you
because you would rather black the boots of
success than enquire whose soul dangles from his
watch-chain which would be embarrassing for both
parties and because you
unflinchingly applaud all
songs containing the words country home and
mother when sung at the old howard
Humanity i love you because
when you're hard up you pawn your
intelligence to buy a drink and when
you're flush pride keeps
you from the pawn shops and
because you are continually committing
nuisances but more
especially in your own house
Humanity i love you because you
are perpetually putting the secret of
life in your pants and forgetting
it's there and sitting down
on it
and because you are
forever making poems in the lap
of death Humanity
i hate you
