Make me strong, make me an imbecile;
as big as a ray,
as refined as anartist;
make me what they call special.
If on hearing the starting gun
I have to fight to leave the winner behind,
give me the stupid strength of an ass;
make me the best, in the group of asses.
You arrived one sweet summer night,
neat and tanned from another world;
and you revealed the sweetest secret to me
that some girls can reveal to some boys.
Make me saintly like a mystic,
make me clever and wicked.
And if you can, make me useless.
Make me a handsome, wise, elegant man.
