Mum'n Dad 
You were so sad 
When I  was playing 
Instead of studying 
As you believed 
the only way to leave 
The fate of our poverty 

Today is another day.  
Your smile is still gray, 
Yet the money is there 
It doesn’t come out of nowhere, 
As your sadness  seems to say so loudly 
To the flab of my body 

Mum ‘n Dad 
Never forget, I' m your lad 
To allow you to retrieve 
The smile of your childhood 
When you played to  win and lose 
Just like today  indeed 
I manage my living 
To do it by playing 
To lose and to win 
The fortunated wind 
Which makes tireless 
The growth 
Of my banker’s smile.
