And We Depart With Nothing

We come
We roam
And we go
That’s all we know.

We come on earth
We roam, we surf
And we depart with nothing
No money, no bitcoin, and no ring.

We say good morning
We chat, laugh, and sing
And we slip away with nothing
Without siblings, land, and building.

P.S. Translation of “ Et Nous Partons Sans Rien”.
