I AM THE ONE WHO'LL BE THE EXCEPTION
Stolen, again, from Girlish K
I am the one who'll be the exception.
It seems to me I can avoid disease.
Try shooting at me
You are sure to miss.
Try pushing me over a precipice
I don't know now,
But I am certain somehow
To find a chance support and cling to it.
I am the one who'll be the exception.
Imposing, free-born, youthful, strong
I'll roam the country far and wide, and everyone
I'll choose to love shall love me too.
My foes will never trick me into wrong,
My friends will always be sincere and true.
I am the one who'll be the exception.
With beaming smiles I'll greet all folks
And they'll smile back,
They all shall see
I am the one without an equal,
A person you cannot ignore that's me!
No death awaits me on my way and no deception.
I am the one who'll be the exception.
What are you smiling at, my friend?
I guess you think we two are birds of a feather?
That's not surprising we both are young
And by the magic spell of youth are bound together.
Translated by Lionginas Paûsis
