My tea’s gone cold, I’m wondering why I got out of bed at all
– Mea tea abiit frigus, ego admiratio quare ego got ex lecto ad omnes
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can’t see at all
– Mane pluvia nubes sursum meus fenestram, et ego non video, ad omnes
And even if I could it’ll all be grey, but your picture on my wall
– Et etiam, si possem, certe omnes cinereo, sed imago mea murum
It reminds me, that it’s not so bad, it’s not so bad
– Sed admonet me, ut ita malum non est, ita malum non est
