Lyrics:
Like a dark cloud that shadowed me on a sunny day.
A deafening rain that happened to drop only through my broken roof, you are Vero.
Your hair waved like the sea that ruined my own living ship.
Your sharp nails tore up my sole lasting net.
Like a hurricane that wrecked my grounding field when the floods dry.
An invading locust flee that razed the nurturing cornfield of my everyday meal, you are Vero.
Your eyes burned like the wildfire that spoiled my living air.
Your laugh thundered loud enough to wake up the « Sleeping Hill »’s people
Like a trial that happened to put the spotlight on my hided weakness.
A beautiful art that dug out to life my deepest buried feelings, you are Vero.
A far-born stranger who rooted out my culture and traditions.
You have now become a print and gave a twist in the writing of my story.
