If I were always washed,

And my face would shine.

I wouldn't be like a beaten dog,

Like a hybrid with one egg.

I wouldn't get up at dawn,

Wondering where to find lunch,

I would always sleep with the light on,

If light were cheap.

I would wash with water,

From the tap, as if from a pond.

I would soak in the bath for a long time,

If that water were cheap.

I wouldn't walk to work,

Exclusively on foot.

I would only travel by car,

And with a powerful engine.

I would dress like a dandy,

Always loving myself,

And I would admire myself,

And I would be, and I would be, not I.

I would be full and all washed,

And my face would shine.

I wouldn't walk like a beaten dog,

Like a hybrid with one egg.

And there would be a wife and children,

And I would greet the dawn at daybreak.

If I had that dough,

And with cheap water and light.
