"The Headache"

No matter how beautiful the roads are,
No matter how cool the night is,
The body gets tired,
The headache does not.

Even if I enter my house now,
I can go out again soon,
Since these clothes and shoes are mine,
And the streets are no one's.

You know the feeling, right? You can go outside anytime you want. You only need your clothes; flânerie is free. And how beautiful it would be if you didn’t have that damn headache!
