My little grasshopper
My little grasshopper
Airplane cannot fly very high
Airplane cannot fly very high
I find you so far from my side
I find you so far from my side
I'm lost in my old in my own green light
I'm lost in my old, my own green light
Don't help me, my love
Don't help me, my love
My brother, my girl
My brother, my girl
Just tell her name
Just tell her name
Just let me say who am I
Just let me say who I am
Don't help me, my love
Don't help me, my love
My brother, my girl
My brother, my girl
Just tell her name
Just tell her name
Just let me say who am I
Just let me say who am I
Her big white plastic finger
Her big white plastic finger
Surrounds my dark green hair
Surrounds my dark green hair
But it's not your unknown caress
But it's not your unknown caress
It's not your unknown right hand
It's not your unknown right hand
Oh, don't help me, my love
Oh, don't help me, my love
My brother, my girl
My brother, my girl
Just tell her name
Just tell her name
Just let me say who am I
Just let me say who am I
Don't help me, my love
Don't help me, my love
My brother, my girl
My brother, my girl
Just tell her name
Just tell her name
Just let me say who am I
Just let me say who I am
I am the sun, the darkness
I am the sun, the darkness
My name is green wave death, salt
My name is green wave death, salt
South America's my name
South America's my name
World is my name, my size
World is my name, my size
And honor my name
And honor my name
Hear my
Hear my
My little grasshopper airplane
My little grasshopper airplane
Cannot fly very high
Cannot fly very high
Don't help me, my love
Don't help me, my love
My brother, my girl
My brother, my girl
Just tell her name

Just let me say who am I
Just let me say who am I
Don't help me, my love
