TRANSLATION: HEAD

You 

Ask me 

For silence 

Because

You say I’m a talker

That I don’t know how to contain myself

You breath in slowly

I continue to talk

My business is to solve problems

If this calmness continues 

I won’t be myself anymore

They call me

Head

Insane head

I won’t shut up

I won’t contain myself

I wanna talk

I have a lot to say

I make you think twice

To reflect, to reconsider

I multiply options

You don’t have way 

And courage to gag me

You breath in slowly

I continue the blah blah blah

I adore to solve problems

My life is to create a lot of confusion

They call me

Head

Insane head

I won’t shut up

I won’t contain myself

You’ll have to put up with me

You’ll listen to me until you die

They call me head, insane head...
