Analysis of Song # 33

Luis A. Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)



When I do cry my tears of sadness
For my mind is one with madness,
I wish I were another man.
I wish I had, hear, world, some gladness.

When I d cry my tears, my rain
For truly sick's my human brain,
I wish I were from this earth gone
Thus, I would be no more insane.
