So tell me about life

So tell me, tell me what's the meaning of life,

tell me under the sky of a billion stars,

with Jupiter and Saturn on each side of the milky way,

Look east,

You will find Scorpio, Libra and Virgo;

Tell me, tell me if this life is worth living,

tell me as you walk down the path of a 5600-meter volcano,

with the landscape of brownish-red mountains one after another,

Walk down,

You will find the yellow cactus at the bottom of the mountains. They dyed the mountains orange-yellow, like sunflowers in the sunset.

Tell me, tell me how one should live one's life,

tell me as you pick up a hitchhiker from highway 23 in the Atacama desert,

tell me as your graffiti-artist roommate at the hostel kiss you on the cheek to say goodbye,

tell me as you stand in front of the biggest telescope in South America with 3 astrologists from France.

Tell me,

before you tell me the answers to life,

why don't you first take a look at life?
