[English]
Elephant foot
Ferris wheel
I move forward confidently
I know nothing
Good luck clover
Wind from the finca
Stone street
I walked
Some say I still have time
But it’s not time I lack
Some walk the middle path
I am half totally crazy
Crazy
Truth and doubt
Loudspeaker
My heart
A trap
Fighting cock
Ready and active
Life’s twists and turns
Leave their footprints
Some say I still have time
But it’s not time I lack
Some walk the middle path
I am half totally crazy
Crazy
...
Some say I still have time
But it’s not time I lack
Some walk the middle path
I am half totally crazy
Crazy
...
