My Soul Is In A Hurry by Mario de Andrade

My time is too short to discuss headlines.

I'm aiming for the essential, as my soul is in a hurry - not so many candies left.

Ilike to live with humans, who are very humane.

Humans, who can laugh about their mistakes and are not terribly conceited About their success.

Humans, who don't feel prematurely appointed And humans, who take responsibility.

Humans, who defend human dignity and who are willing

To stand for the truth and uprightness.

It is that, what makes a life worth living.

I want to surround myself with people, who understand, how to touch the hearts of others.

People who have learned through life's hard punches to grow by tender touches of the soul.
