Whether Resistant Part Two
never do listen to sweet sirenes´ call
promises made by them lead to your fall
they try to lull you into a false peace
claiming that all of your problems would cease
go read their faces they just need to feed
upon surrender they want you to bleed
watch out for soft words including a lure
to sweet temptation don't yield do endure
though heavy burdens are weighting your back
keep perseveringly to the right track
though it´s a strong and inveterate foe
bravely let's fight him, my dear, have a go
in suicidal mood do just hold out
stay unperturbed and don't worry about
you will withstand black thoughts never give way
you are a strong girl alive you will stay
looking for shelter in shivering fears
and consolation in vanishing tears
nevertheless you will crawl on all fours
straight through the thicket success will be yours
though it´s a hard fight you have got to drive
out of the mess with the will to survive
though it´s a strong and inveterate foe
bravely let's fight him, my dear, have a go
whether you're chained to oars or say it´s done
leading numerous lives or have just one
be hyperactive or more contemplating
running for your dear life or calmly waiting
whether you are with friends or go alone
look for a diamond and just find a stone
I have just one wish please come back to me
safe and sound do return from odyssey
