For as Little as One Life

Grip the tray of each day
With both hands
And join the line passing
Before this counter.

There’s plenty of sun
For everybody,
Plenty sky,
Plenty moon.

From the earth arise the aromas
Of luck, of happiness, of glory,
Tickling your nostrils
Enticingly.

So, don’t be stingy,
Live according to your heart’s appetite,
The price is dirt cheap.

For instance, for as little as one life,
You can obtain
The most beautiful woman,
Plus a hot roll.
